I have about 4 year sof public accounting background.

Unless you dealt with financial services related consulting/advisory service in Big 4, I highly doubt that will qualify you in big programs.

In fact, even with such experience, i think it's a long shot.

MSF/MSFE degrees are derivatives of applied mathematics degree. You need strong math background on the transcript (at least intermediate level math courses) plus high GRE Math score.

Be advised that many MS in Taxation courses does not meet state CPA 150 hr requirement.

Make sure you check with the school.

I'll get the 150 hours during undergrad. If I hopefully get a job in the big 4 or some decent firm i'll try to get my masters in taxation or finance (if I'm lucky), if not I will work like 4 years then just go for an MBA but before anything else is becoming a CPA.

I don't know if this is any help, but I just got accepted to Bentley University's Quantitative MSF program.. I got my undergrad in Mathematics and took some finance/econ classes as well. They have an MSF and a Quantitative MSF and are more lenient with math requirements for the basic MSF. For the Quant MSF, they wanted at least calc 3 and a calculus based stats class. I have taken calc 1-3, real analysis, linear algebra 1 and 2, a few stats courses, diff eq's, and a bunch of other rigorous math classes. My GMAT score and math background probably helped me with my acceptance since I have no work experience and no internships...
