Christian here, and aspiring accountant (maybe). I absolutely love the content and the fact that you both show me a good idea of what the life is like, but you also talk about your faith and what you're reading in the Bible! Awesome to see, and you've gained a new subscriber!

Aww I’m so happy to hear! Thank you so much for your support and I hope my content continues to be relatable for you :)

I hope to see this type of Vlog in the future ❤ I love to see you managing time when busy season is coming and day to day work ❤ it helps me to be more productive as a future auditor 💪🏻😀

Excellent video, Kat!! I used to work in public accounting, so it's interesting to see what other people's busy seasons are like. I don't miss the hours, but I do miss fun engagement teams and connecting with clients. If you're in your 1st year as an auditor, then I'm sure you will have lots of fun with your SURL testing and confirmation (among other things, of course). Good luck to you!!

I'm so surprised how well you manage your time during peak season. Compared to myself, I would prefer to sleep if I had more time during the year-end period. You're so inspiring. Love it!

Thank God 🙏🏼

As a senior professional in big four, this is so good to see! Looking at the comments, there are so many of you interested in accounting…Come onboard!! Also seeing you hold fast to your faith is just encouraging. May God strengthen you and bless you with knowledge, wisdom and understanding to do the work you have been given.

i love ur videos. you have such a calm aura

Just found your channel and I love the accounting content! I'm graduating in a few months and am so excited to get into this field. (:

Im glad I avoided busy season by going into state and local government audit instead of industry. GASB is a bit tough with all the different funds and having different materiality thresholds for each fund but we only work like 40-50 hours per week all year instead of the long hours others have to put in.

Love it

My busy season is like: 8:30am getup 9:30am work 11pm finish work 11:30pm arrive home 1am sleep and repeat Now I'm jealous of your work hours.

I really enjoyed this video! I am about to finish my 2nd internship with my firm (1 audit, 1 tax) and start full-time after graduating this spring. What's some advice you would give to a first year staff accountant?

I miss my audit life 😂, hello from indonesia 🇲🇨, been work at accounting firm for 1 years and half, such a memorable and challenging experiences

yeah , it is very thankyou for recording your life as an accountant btw if your content conclude more about your work or add more description about the task then it will be very helpful ,

How often do you have to go to meetings and talk with clients? I'm currently in my Junior year of Accounting.

her workday starts at 9:00 - thank you! I'm recently getting into the field myself, really useful to know what tasks actually goes into 'auditing'

Man, I thought you meant her work day started at 9am, not the 9 minute mark. This was more of a Get Ready With Me video. Haha. Not knocking it, I'm sure there is only so much that can be recorded during a workday at a Big4, but the title definitely seems a little misleading.

To be able to work out at 6am, what time do you have to go to bed?

What qualifications do you need to be in the big four firms?

I've always wondered what accounts do. I don't know most words, but I now know busy season is Jan - April 😅

Hi Katrina, was confused with below topics was wondering if you could help, pls. Thank you. 1) Explanation on why under Deferred Tax Asset, Asset ( Tax Base > Carrying Value ); Liability ( Carrying Value > Tax Base ) 2) Explanation on why under Deferred Tax Liability; Asset ( Carrying Value > Tax Base ); Liability ( Tax Base > Carrying Value )

I'm inspired by you so much. ☺️✨ New subscriber here. ❤️

it's nice watching your videos, I had a question for you, will AI takeover auditors?

Why am I watching this? It’s like reliving a nightmare.

Hello, it would be great that you can share the information of the mouse you're using, it really looks fantastic :)

Hi Katrina! I was looking up Toronto accountants on KZread and ran into your channel. Shot in the dark but I was wondering, do you or anyone you know offer tax filing services? I have a KZread channel myself and this is my first year of making pretty decent income and I'm looking for help in how to tackle the tax side of things. From your content it looks like you're super busy so I understand if you can't help but if you have any helpful resources or referrals I would so greatly appreciate it. Keep up the great work on your channel!

Hey! Unfortunately I don’t do tax services.

Are you an Army? 😊…. Also, I’m torn between working for the big 4 or a midsized firm… any thoughts?

Hi Katrina! Wanna know your thoughts since you experienced both tech risk consulting and assurance. Whats more interesting, difficult, challenging for you.. etc..

@KatrinaKwong

Жыл бұрын

Hey! I find assurance way more interesting because I personally don’t find IT systems very fascinating. I like learning about how businesses operate rather than IT systems. The things we audit are also different. In assurance, you are auditing financial statement numbers (eg. revenue, expense testing) and in tech risk you might be auditing things like user access control (eg. Testing if passwords work etc etc). Both are very stable and needed fields but I think in assurance you will get to learn more about different businesses (eg. How companies generate revenue) but you may not get that same learning experience in tech risk because IT systems and the ways they get tested don’t vary too too much from company to company (eg how many ways can you set up password configurations?…not many)
