@itsgettingreal17 actually big 4 and accounting firms generally prefer masters for a few reasons. Mainly they have more classes that provide a more detailed skillset. Many of these classes are in essence CPA exam prep which takes the risk away from the firms. Back when I got my CPA and got a masters in accounting, you did get paid more for a masters. Not sure today though. It can be done either way though. Most undergrad accounting majors don’t go to CPA firms and never sit for the CPA. They are accountants for industry and that is fine.
