I’m a CPA that got into IB. I think it shows a strong work ethic and ability to grind. It helped get interviews and I didn’t really get grilled on accounting technicals in interviews. No real benefit other than that. I don’t tell a soul about my CPA because then I will be expected to know accounting which I do not. I will pass on researching the S-corp election impact on the tax step up NPV.
