。在找工作的过程中感觉有public accounting 经验的较受欢迎,本人也逐渐对到
accounting firm 有了热情。但因没有accounting firm 的经验觉得去有些规模的firm
有困难。
马上税季开始,有个很小的CPA firm 的part time 的机会:tax 和bookkeeping,

几个月小CPA firm 的tax & bookkeeping (closing, adjusting entries etc. ) 的

C****3 发帖数: 41 | 5 你还是不要把自己框进去, 我的情况和你差不多,一直想进public accounting firm,
投了好久都没人要,firm一般entry 要一点工作经验没有的graduate 或者是有相关税
和审计的工作经验,从industry 到firm 比较难,但也不是不可能。如果你不介意薪水
的话,有小的Local firm在税季招做税的,你可以试下,还是有很大机会去上firm的。
我之前也很想去firm,硬是没去上,CPA 考完后,找到一个很好的company, 工资待遇也
不错,离家又近,公司规模也很好。即便没有firm 的工作经验也会有很好的工作机会
。我当时觉得如果不进public accounting firm 以后就没啥发展了,其实这样想是不
正确的,而且自己天天会很不开心。 我觉得你不要局限于firm,要多项选择,有很多大
公司并不是让你天天只做AR 或 AP, 还是能学到很多东西。 |

c******g 发帖数: 25 | 8 最近比较郁闷,目前在CPA firm 做第3年senior了,可是升职好像还没什么希望,我有
一个孩子,觉得CPA firm真的是很辛苦的工作,经济不好,公司也很艰难.但我喜欢tax
,喜欢做return, 很有成就感。看了很多前辈的贴,说转industry是大部分人的选择,
想想也是,partners一个公司只能那么几个,CPA firm 本来就是一个金字塔的结构,
而且对我们来讲,语言文化差异会是一个很大的障碍.
我不知道做到什么时候转industry是比较合适的时候,是越迟转越好吗?我也担心转了
industry后,知识水平就没有在CPA firm更新提高那么快了,因为CPA firm是接触各种
各样的case,更不容易被淘汰.你们有这些考虑吗?
另一方面,不知道CPA firm and industry 哪个工作比较稳定,在经济不好的时候容易
度过.我的想法是,在CPA firm,你是赚钱的主力,在industry like IT,你只是个公
司admin部门的一块.CPA firm似乎稳定些,但真的也说不定,裁员一来也挡不住。

d*******5 发帖数: 32 | 13 谢谢大家的回复和讨论。
CPA license 有些州只要有CPA(甚至不是CPA也可)sign off experience 就可以了,
我所在的州就是。但觉得如果没有过public accounting 的经验,这个license 可能作
用不大。
2年前毕业时firm都在裁人,那时motivation 也不够,觉得进公司也可以。后来公司不
景气,再找工作,发现很多都倾向有public accounting 的经验,而且只在corporate
accounting,感觉上升较慢。这才决意去考CPA,但问题是:没有public accounting
的经验,通过exprienced hire 进firm, 很难。
我倒是不介意以entry level进firm,但有点规模的firm 不要啊。上面有同学说的对,
如能去有审计业务的local firm 比较好,我这个firm 是太小了点。
有同学知道没有public accounting 经验怎样进稍有点规模,有审计业务的local firm
吗?有positive 的经验分享一下吗? |

我原为stay at home mom,读了一个accounting的本科,这是我的第一个面试。感觉这
个firm和大家常说的CPA FIRM不太一样。在我们这个local的这家,基本不做审计,到

I left my prior small 20+ people local firm in 2006 with less than 2 year
experience and without a cpa license. I joined a Big Four firm as a staff 2
in its corporate tax group. Since then, I have learned so much. Although i
felt bored from time to time, but I do feel lucky considering what I would

(one of big 4) hired several people from small firms as senior level back in
2005. and they are all referred by the same person and all from the same

c*v 发帖数: 53 | 50 前几年才拿了个CPA,但是因为生了孩子,没有时间和精力去FIRM,也工作过几个
小公司,做的都是BOOKKEEPER的工作吧,最近找了一个工作,人家听说我是CPA,
就让我做CONTROLLER,我每天都拼命的干活,研究原来的CONTROLLER怎么做的,
但是我还是因为经验有限,不能给人家MONTH END,后来老板又找了一个CONTROLLER
这个人在所谓的大公司做了15年的ENTRY LEVEL CLERK, 后来被提拔做了3年的INTERNAL
AUDITOR,她仗着在这里行业比我懂的多啊,就很欺负我,其实她连个
ACCOUNTING DEGREE都没有,更别说CPA了,她做的一些GV也是错的,她根本不教我任何
东西,就会那么点东西,教了我她吃什么啊。
我下一步真的不知道该怎么办?我是不是还是有必要去FIRM里去锻炼锻炼啊,怎么
感觉INDUSTRY里没有什么有本事的人,如果这样从职员混着,早晚还是让人欺负。
似乎大家都觉得CPA应该去FIRM,但是我给很多FIRM发过简历,人家似乎也不愿意
要咱这半大不小的大妈啊!这年头想学点东西怎么这么难啊? |
