I graduated with bachelor's and a master's in accounting a little over six years ago, did three years in Big 4 audit and I've spent the last three doing corporate accounting in industry. <br /><br />My .02, accounting is a noble profession, it's the language of business and it pays the bills. If I could go back and change anything about the path I took, I would probably put considerably more thought into my choice to pursue specialization in the audit/GAAP/corporate accounting path over the tax path. <br /><br />"I want people to come to me for help, and I want to be able to sit down with a tax return, or ledger and just let the number flow much like my words seem to do in satisfactory ways while writing about poker."<br /><br />This will absolutely happen for you if you want it to. Because I chose the GAAP world over the tax world I'm a tax idiot (I use turbotax do my personal return) but place a set of financial statements or a sales contract in front of me and I can dissect the sh*t out of it. <br /><br />I also get a strange satisfaction from severely tilting car salesman and mortgage brokers by knowing the numbers better than they do.<br /><br />Good luck with the degree.mrwiizrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870679410835863432noreply@blogger.com
