Meet Morgan Bielert – CTCPA Women's Awards Winner – Aspiring CPA

What inspired you to pursue the CPA career path?
My coworkers inspired me to pursue the CPA career path. When I began my career as an intern with Marcum LLP, I wasn’t sure if becoming a CPA was the right direction for me. However, after hearing my colleagues share their experiences and describe the opportunities the CPA designation has provided them, I was motivated to pursue it myself. Since then, I’ve received unwavering support from all of my colleagues.

What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?
I am most proud of completing my Bachelor’s degree in just three years and my Master’s in Accounting in one additional year at Nichols College, all while interning part-time at my first firm and holding other jobs. Balancing these commitments was challenging, but I wouldn’t have done it any other way.

What is your next major goal?
After I obtain my CPA, I would like to pursue the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) certification. Exploring forensic accounting has been a goal of mine since college.

What is your favorite thing to do outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, reading, spending time with my loved ones, and traveling. Last winter, I was able to explore Sweden for the first time and experience a traditional Swedish Christmas!
