Careers in public accounting
tax or audit? it’s a big decision
don’t choose your career

fits your life, your goals,
your dreams
what is your work style?
are you:
flexible
a good writer
willing to travel
precise
a big picture person
an excel guru
comfortable with change you may like audit
are you:
consistent
analytical
precise
in love with data
an information junkie
a creative thinker
good at finding solutions you may like tax
how do you define your business relationships?
tax accountants work individually.
they interact with their peers in the office.
their schedule is flexible which can be easier
on their personal relationships.
Auditors work as a team.
They interact with their clients at their
offices.
their schedule changes all the time which
can make for an exciting life.
tax accountants grow very close to their clients and eventually become their advocates and advisors
the relationship is about trust and competence.
auditors interact with clients constantly. They learn all about their business but must maintain the distance necessary to ensure impartiality.
the relationship is about balance and knowledge.
and what if you don’t make partner?
audit offers a path toward becoming
a comptroller, CFO or CEO
tax offers a path toward becoming a tax director
or starting your own firm
what if you still don’t know?
try both
