Is accounting a great business to start? Assuming... (alien.top)

Assuming:

A) your goal is to reach 8-figure net worth within 7-8 years

B) you're willing to work your ass off (obviously!)

C) you're able to be one of the best out there AND adapt to new technology

In other words: with the above criteria and a strong desire to learn and apply a valuable analytical skill set as you become an entrepreneur, is accounting a particularly good choice?

Hot takes welcome!

If you are considering starting a CPA firm, you might consider specializing in SOC2 audits. Cybersecurity is hot and will continue to be. SOC2 audits are becoming the standard (in the US at least) for companies to look to as a 3rd party attestation for Vendor Risk Management. You could definitely build out a CPA firm specializing in these audits to reach your financial goals.
