Description:
Accounting can be one of the most interesting and rewarding career paths. Every business or organization, from Fortune 500 companies in any industry to venture capital backed start-ups, family businesses, and nonprofit organizations, needs the help and expertise of accountants. And in Advice for a Successful Career in the Accounting Profession, Jerry Maginnis, CPA, delivers invaluable guidance and wisdom for anyone considering--or already pursuing--opportunities in the field of accounting.
Originally conceived and designed to provide helpful advice to college and university accounting majors and early-career professionals, this book evolved into a valuable resource for those groups as well as others who may be further along in their accounting careers. It contains many practical examples and real-life experiences from a long and successful career in the profession that you won't find in any accounting, auditing, or tax textbook. And it is written in a fun and engaging style with a simple goal in mind: to share lessons learned and insights that will help accountants of all ages optimize their career opportunities!
Loaded with "real world" tips and techniques, the book concludes with a list of fifty questions that challenge the listener to consider how they can best achieve their potential.
