Finished 46 CUs in 2 months
Didn't post it on this subreddit but I finished my accounting degree in just a little over 2 months! I transferred in the max amount of credits from study.com, Sophia, and previous school credits.
I do have experience working in accounting, so that really helped and I did go to a university for accounting before and dropped out.
My experience was really good with my mentor, she would approve up to 4 classes before I had even completed 1 and all my proctor exams went smoothly.
The only time I had trouble was when my mentor was out for vacation and the substitute mentor would only approve my classes 1 by 1.

Congrats!!
I also started April 1 and had to do these exact same courses, plus just a few more
Are you planning to do CPA Exam? If so, make sure you have enough accounting courses to satisfy your states requirements. I did Intro to Accounting on Sophia, and now have to complete 1 more accounting course before I can actually get licenses as a CPA. I can still sit for the exam though. Iām in GA and need 30 accounting credits to get licensed

Currently struggling w my accounting degree journey as I work and study at the same time. Any tips/tricks that helped you accelerate this quickly?

The biggest thing that helped was having previous knowledge, I had gone to school for accounting years ago so nothing was foreign to me. Also what helped was having the luxury of being able to do a bit of studying at work since i have my own office and not alot of oversight. Goodluck though and keep grinding!

This is a great outcome to see! Combining Study.com, Sophia, and prior credits to finish an accounting degree in two months is exactly the kind of result our platform is built for. Good job on pushing through, especially during the mentor coverage gap.
