Ole Miss Patterson School of Accountancy’s Post

Congratulations to Kaylan Ainsworth for passing all four sections of the CPA exam on the first sitting! Kaylan is a 2024 Bachelor of Accountancy graduate and 2025 Master of Taxation and Data Analytics graduate. She is from Canton and is employed in tax with HORNE in Ridgeland. “The master's program was instrumental in my success on the CPA exam. Especially for REG and TCP, the Master of Taxation and Data Analytics program gave a lot of the background needed for those sections. While additional studying was needed, most of the material on the exams had been covered throughout the program to where studying was not as overwhelming as it would have been with just the bachelor-level education. Most importantly, it was inspiring and motivating to study while being surrounded by peers and teachers who challenged and believed in me.” Kaylan Ainsworth
