As a follow-up to something I posted in here recently, today my employer - who hired me in part because I had ENEB on my resume - offered me a substantial hourly raise and more hours per week if I complete the Surgent Chartered Tax Professional Program (currently around $1,045 USD with a coupon) before March 2025. Link is here: https://www.theincometaxschool.com/begin...beginners/
During or after that they want me to pass the Enrolled Agent (EA) exam, which costs $777. Note that my employer is not reimbursing me for these, or at least if they will they haven't said so.
They have had issues with people who were unable to complete self-paced online education in the past, and with ENEB I proved I can do it so they're very excited about me. They don't care about accreditation as their field is tax and most tax & business schools aren't "accredited" in the way colleges are.
After the EA exam I would then aim to take the CPA exam in 2026 or 2027. ENEB will be used as the college credit qualification required to take the CPA exam, and it has been confirmed in another thread that this is possible. That will come with another pay raise.
Considering how good my current job is compared to my old one (in wages, work environment and the potential to get promoted), ENEB has already paid for itself many times over. And I got this job just a few months after getting the ENEB degrees in hand.
