Belonging to the national and state professional accounting organizations, respectively, sites of both the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants (FICPA) offer information about the profession. One of the readily apparent features of the AICPA site that can be of use to an aspiring accountant is the “Career Guidance” section. It offers a wealth of information on job peculiarities, educational programs, work-life balance, and other important aspects (AICPA, 2021). It also covers different career paths for becoming a certified public accountant (CPA), from a high-schooler interested in accounting to a student preparing for graduation (AICPA, 2021). FICPA’s site does not offer this type of guidance in the readily available way, but its “Knowledge Hub” tab provides current information on the developments important of accounting in Floridian context (FICPA, 2021). While trying to describe every bit of knowledge available on both sides within a single post would be unfeasible, it is safe to say that both sites can serve as a reliable source of information.
