<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>I'm excited to get in there, the next 2 weeks will be long weeks as i finish up my work at my current firm.
At Beers & Cutler, the new job, i'll be moving away from audit and tax (which is basically all the small firm does) and into what B&C call their Outsoucing and Consulting division. Think controller by the hour kinda stuff with also financial statement analysis, systems implementation, and internal controls reworking kind of engagements. I'm glad i got to audit for a little over a year, for the experience, but i wont be sad to leave it behind as i found it kind of boring. There was also little sense of accomplishment since 90% of the time we would sweep in, audit, make no adjustments, and sweep out with basically nothing to show for it besides financial statements that i'm sure people would merely glance at then put aside. Most of our clients only got audits because it was in their bylaws and didnt give a shit one way or the other. Atleast you know with public companies that your statements will get read by investors, but we dont have any public clients; only private ones where the statements would only get read by a board of directors hardly any of which had enough financial schooling to even understand them.
I did like doing taxes, but the quality control procedures at my firm are tedius since we had to do a lot of reconciliations, double checks, and long annoying check lists. It'll be a little sad to not do those anymore, but i figure i can continue to educate myself on the topic.</div>
