Cool CPAs - Alberto Cohen, CPA

When you're not at work, what are you likely to be doing?
My time outside work is shared between spending time with my family (wife and 2 kids), sportriding (motorcycles), soccer, bicycling, hiking and home repair/building projects.

I have a fascination with motorcycles, mainly sports motorcycles. I ride it 10 months of the year and I frequently commute to work with it. I have had the opportunity to take it to the New Hampshire International Speedway located in Loudon, NH to practice sportriding techniques within a racing track environment. However, I have not participated in races

Why did you decide to become a CPA?
I decided to become a CPA because it is a well regarded and prestigious profession that demands high standards of professionalism within the industry. It is also a very marketable and well paid profession.

What's your favorite thing about being a CPA?
As a CPA, I have the ability to experience a wide spectrum of clients within all different industries; consequently, I feel constantly challenged and interested in what I do. I also have the opportunity to meet with many different and interesting business owners and get to see what they do, how they do it, how they got there, and what they are thinking.
