Thank you for your videos. You are one of my top accounting KZread influencers! Do you have a recommendation on the best first job out of college for new accountants at a public accounting firm? Do you think Auditing is the best first job or consulting? The consulting opportunity is a Finance and Accounting Outsourcing role (big focus on AP/AR, NetSuite, technology, accounting lifecycle, etc.). For long-term career goals, I think Financial Analyst, Assistant Controller, or Audit Manager. Which first job do you think gives new graduates the best foundation? Thank YOU!

Both opportunities are fabulous and will set you up nicely. The only distinction is that if you want to become a CPA audit is going to be the route to go. But even still, you can ask the hiring team in consulting whether the experience will qualify you for CPA

​@@TheFinancialController Is it better to go into tax or audit straight out of college? I am leaning for tax, but which one gives better accounting foundation?

100% agree with all of them. Improving upon these three skills earned me a 2.5X salary increase within 12 months amidst the cost of living crisis. I also used strategy within my career but these three skills helped me demonstrate my worth.

I agreed. 100% communication is the key. Being articulate makes you stands out from the crowd.

+1 for communication! Every role in accounting deals with customer service, team work, and the ability to communicate complicated information in a meaningful way. A few years in auditing will take you far and be a springboard for your career. Good luck to you all!

Take a role as an auditor for a few years! I worked at a local firm and had roughly 40 clients a year. That forced me to become comfortable talking with strangers, asking tough questions, and remembering names. I'm still so so with the last one, but my communication skills have landed me a great job as a senior accountant at one of the largest companies in the world! 😁 Big 4 is great too but leverage the skills you have to fill the role you want!

What an excellent video great job in breaking down and being specific on what it is that makes an accountant most valuable!

Attention to detail, high accuracy, analytical, and organization are also very valuable in all levels of accounting.

From 0 to 1, always the most challenging but also most rewarding one for sure!

Please more make informational video Sir ....

Being a good manager is important too. There are two many accountants who are poor managers. There are those who still think it's appropriate to threaten people with their jobs, are very agressive, humiliate people, even in front of others. Set impossible tasks even without agreeing/informing a team member beforehand, then, repeatedly hassle them remind them. Also the advent of new software, is at risk of leaving the younger generation not knowing how to fix an issue, or how to do it in alternative ways, as they are reliant on data sources and methods such as queries.

Hello, I appreciate for your videos. May I ask you one simple question? If you are on 3~5 years of your career and in a senior accountant position of mid-sized firm, will you take an offer from small company (like 15~20 employees) as accounting manager with higher salary? or will you stay, learn more and make a move to bigger company's manager level? More general question will be, is it beneficial to be in charge of accounting department in small company where they don't receive audit, or learn several parts of accounting in mid sized company? Thank you!

@TheFinancialController

Smaller companies are lots of fun, but I am afraid 15-20 headcount is too small. I prefer you go to a 50+ headcount company. Unless that 15-20 one has a killer product and will be a rocketship ride. If Money is the bigger motivator, don't go to small companies (sub 100 employees). But if you want to combine money with a bit of fun engaging work, you pickup a couple of ~50 HC along the way

What is ERP?

Those aren't highest paid, they're what you look for most in a candidate. 1 and 3 are fine, 2 is so when you fire them you have everything documented to teach the next guy how to replace them.

Do employers as small as Mom and Pop shops to Big 4 firms care about whether your accounting school AACSB vs ACBSP accredited? What about online programs like WGU that aren't just diploma mills? I cannot find any videos on this topic.

Actually, there is a accountant with a 4 years degree...she is working as a covid tracer...she stated accounting only paid 16/hr ....covid tracing paid 18/hr...why would a person spend 4 yrs to get an accounting degree just to work as a temporary covid tracer?
