Hey there! I'm Jake.
Meet Jacob D Frey, CPA
I asked Jacob a list of questions to find out how he passed the CPA Exam. Read on to get a fresh perspective of the CPA Exams other than my own!
First and foremost, who is Jacob Frey?
“I am a Staff Accountant at Wipfli LLP. I enjoy the outdoors and traveling around as much I can. I also enjoy spending time with friends and watching sports, particularly football. I went to college at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and majored in Accounting and Finance with a Financial Planning Emphasis. Initially I was interested in financial planning, however I found that I was better at accounting and enjoyed accounting more. I was not determined to pick tax or audit when I started in public accounting, but as time went on, I was drawn more to tax work. I have prepared returns in a handful of industries but have been drawn more toward Manufacturing and related industries.”

When studying for the CPA Exams, what was your life like? (Family, kids, working full time, didn’t work at all, etc.) And then, how did you juggle it all and still find time to study?
