Professional Practice Partner / IFRS Americas Leader
I help teams with accounting issues under US GAAP and IFRS and manage our relationship with accounting standard setters.
I would have to say that I am not sure I have a typical day. Our profession is very cyclical based on financial reporting time frames. In any one day I can be reviewing a publication on accounting, meeting with the FASB on an accounting standard setting issue or helping an engagement team on a complex accounting matter. I think this is one of the things that attracts me to the profession.

The first step is to just start talking to people, whether it's college professors or professionals at career fairs. Professors in particular can help provide you with ideas on who to reach out to.
