Hello all,

I spent a good deal of time yesterday digging through the internet to try and get an answer but I think I overloaded myself with information and am now just confused. I am 25 years old and recently just sold my business and am looking for something else now. While running it for the past few years I fell in love with the accounting aspects of it, especially during tax season, and self taught quite a bit thanks to the internet. My issue now is that because I started a business at a young age I never ended up going to school, but to be able to sit for the CPA exam you basically need the most school possible. So my question is what is the fastest, most efficient way to get the credentials to sit for the CPA exams? Taking a full course load would not be an issue for me as I have some time these days lol. I have seen some of these regionally accredited online schools, and the idea of an accelerated degree seems very appealing. But does having a CPA trump what school you went to since everyone had to take and pass the same tests?
