Audit Associate
I work to ensure that different companies are presenting their financial to capital users fairly and accurately.
As opposed to the typical stereotype of accounting, I do something different nearly every day. Essentially I use different technologies, whether it's Microsoft Office, internal technologies, or otherwise to evaluate different components of companies' financial statements (like cash, accounts receivable, equity, etc). When I have questions, I reach out or meet with the client or internally with my team to get questions answered and make sure we are reaching our goals.
Here's the first step for college students
Reach out to people who have experience. Connect with auditors and accounting professionals on LinkedIn and reach out. Most professionals love to mentor and want you to reach your goals, especially if you are passionate about them. So reach out and ask questions—the only thing it can do is bring you closer to your goals!
