Audit Senior Manager
I am a Senior Manager in the audit practice with a primary focus in Real Estate.
The best part of my job is that every day is different. Some days, I review audit workpapers, some days I’m a planner for the audit, some are surrounded by client service issues, some days I mentor, some days I’m a student, some days I coach and teach, some days I recruit, some days I sell my business, and some days when I utilize my large amounts of PTO, I’m a dad two the coolest two kids in the world! Every day is a different day for me, and I love every role!
Here's the first step for everyone
Be yourself. You never want to get a job pretending to be someone you are not, otherwise they will have hired the wrong person. Act professionally, of course, but if the place you're applying for does not appreciate you for who you are, then that isn't the place for you. We are all so different, and those differences are what make us special, don't lose that by being what you think they want. Be who you are, be proud of who you are, and sell to that company why they need you.
