3.0 out of 5 stars waste of money
I don't understand why people speak so highly of this book.

This book is thin, and is full of useless introductions to the career. It's more like a "Big Four Career for Dummy". Go to any Chinese career development forum and there are so much more nice people sharing their opinions for free and open to discussion. I don't mean this book is useless. But it...

Angela's book is filled with life's gold nuggets, not only for men and women who set their goals for a CPA career, but also for men and women of all ages who want to become or remain successful in the careers of their choices. She is tremendously generous in sharing her experience in intricate details, in her beautifully expressive written words through out her book. I especially treasure her succinct formula for success in chapter 4. It provides a road map that we can follow and act upon whether we want to make it in the CPA profession or in any careers we choose. Way to go, Angela!

This review is from: THE CPA WOMAN (TM): An Insider's Guide to Success in a Global Accounting Career (Mandarin-Chinese Edition) (Paperback)
I am a Chartered Accountant ("CA"). I moved from China to Canada 13 years ago. The experience the author shared in this book is valuable, especially to someone who is new to the country and considering a career in accounting. I can relate lots addressed in this book to my own experience. I wish I would had a book like this when I started a new chapter in my life in Canada 13 years ago.

I am also a CPA woman, originally from Beijing, China, obtained my MBA in Canada and have a US CPA license from Washington State, currently reside in Vancouver. After reading THE CPA WOMAN, I was deeply touched by the level of expertise and guidance from Angela. If I had a book like this years earlier, it would have saved me a lot of unnecessary sweats and hardships in my professional journey in North America.
