A former NFL player who influences CPA – Journal of Accountancy

If you want to learn what it really is like to be a professional football player, ask a professional football player. If you want to know what it really is to be CPA, ask CPA.

Or you can just ask Richie Brockel.

“These three letters at the end of my name help to trust who I am and what I do,” said Brosce, who became CPA in 2016.

Previously, Brosce had three different letters related to his name: NFL.

Since 2010-2015, Brosha has played a narrow end and a full back, mainly for Carolina Panthers, with his play days ending a few months before Panthers playing in the Super Bowl 50 (Super Bowl Lix starts on Sunday). Previously, he participated in Boise State University. A brokel was on the field for a pair of unforgettable plays – one still refers to the fans of the College of Football every day and one, which is being held in a special tribute by NFL fans who love trick plays and football movies.

Brookly returned to Boyz, Idaho, after his play days, won his CPA license and now bends in his origin to distinguish himself with real estate mediation in Amherst Madison and in a football commentary with his Alma Mater.

Past guest in a podcast (Accounting) Host a pair of Boise accounting professors, recently brockel contacted Jofa Let’s talk about his favorite three -letter abbreviations.

First of all, Richie, can you tell us what you do when you don’t go to the football show at Boyz?

Brockery: The bigger part of what I am doing right now is real estate sales. Mostly residential, some commercial transactions. I also have a little tax practice where I use my license and it goes hand in hand because many people make 1031 exchanges, many people have property rental and short -term rentals. Most of my real estate customers are ultimately my tax customers. With real estate, the availability of CPA credentials gives you more reliability.

How exactly does your CPA license help?

Brockery: There is a lot of confidence that goes with this seal for obvious reasons. People see this and say, “This man is obviously intelligent. They were able to pass the CPA exam. They are definitely reliable so that they can keep these letters at the end of their name, so they will probably do the right thing. I think this automatically puts you on many other people. Now other people have these characteristics, but mine just happens to be in the title with my name. It just stands out.

In a very different field – or more recently on a different field – the letters “NFL” also give you a certain cache, would you not say?

Brockery: Oh, 100%. The play of professional sports has this intrigue around him. Not many people get this opportunity, but everyone grew up, dreaming of it. Everyone wants to know what it is.

With the Super Bowl on us and the first 12-team college football playoff just behind us-Playoff, which includes your Alma Mater-Bi, could you put on the cap of your commentator and share your thoughts about the seemingly irresistible power that is football?

Brockery: NFL has created a more exciting product than other professional leagues. There is so much parity as the average victory margin in recent years is moving around a once press. The league has been set for this type of competition with a firm salary limit, profit sharing, a return project and non -nursery contracts – all of which work to distribute the talent and make a franchise turn out with a great extra -season. Fans are attracted to this level of competition.

Boise was electric this year. It was so fun. They have done such a good job, they just create a great experience of fans and this hope for a playoff place all year just did everything so exciting. People went crazy and we were talking about the city all the time. I would like to see football in college just to continue and expand the playoff to 16 [teams]S I think they could even just get rid of the conference championship, just take one to 16, start the playoff as soon as the regular season is over and just roll.

Brokel’s allegations of glory: “so special”

In NFL, Richie Brockel play in 47 career games mainly as a blocker and associate in special teams, catching or carrying the ball only eight times. One of his touch, however, was one touch of his touch, a trick game gently called “Annexation of Puerto Rico” in connection with his similarities with a 1994 movie play. Small giantsS

And in the first season of BroCkel in Boise, he was on the field for one of the three incredible plays of Broncos, which helped them demolish Juggernaut Oklahoma 43-42 in the still-exploded Fiesta Bowl since 2007.
