Heaven's Audventure I actually began my accounting education at UTC and then I ended up moving down to Huntsville AL and finished my bachelor’s in Accounting here at Athens State University. I will starting my career with the State of Alabama department examiners of public accounts (auditor) on January 2 so your vlogs are very helpful and informative to me 👍🏾

@@jwhardawayjr how do you like accounting so far as a job?

Hello, i just found your channel pretty recently and your videos have been pretty helpful. When did you realize that you wanted to do auditing? I am going to take auditing this summer and right now i have no idea on what type of work i would like to pursue upon graduation. Also, are you using any of the review or CPA prep products to study? I am still aways away from graduation but i know there are several products out there and i didnt know if you recommended one.

Tyler Fletcher I’m glad I am able to help! I took two tax classes in college early on and knew for sure that I did not want to do taxes. So then I was hoping I liked auditing. I took auditing senior year and loved it so it worked out well. There are multiple routes of accounting for sure so don’t feel defined by the two buckets of audit vs. tax. You can do almost anything business-wise with an accounting degree. I am using Becker to study for the CPA mostly because everyone I know has used Becker and has recommended it to me. It is very expensive ($4,000 for all 4 parts) but most employment places will help you finance it. I haven’t tried the other study materials out there to do a fair comparison but I do really like Becker. They are very thorough and teach well. Good luck on your studies!!

What made you want to move to Nashville to do accounting? I live about 45 mins from Nashville. I’m currently in Clarksville.

I was just wondering was it hard to get az state job here in tn? How long did it take you to get the job after applying? And what do they look for in applicants? Sorry for the questions but I'm someone who likes to plan ahead lol

What do you usually take to the office???

[@HeavensAudventure]

lashay kyles my office has cubicles that we reserve before we go in that already has 2 screens, a mouse, keyboard, phone, and a docking station so I only need to bring my laptop. I do have a work bag with everything in it that a normal business person would keep at their desk lol but it’s not all necessary. I do also pack my lunch and bring my personal laptop for studying on my lunch break so going to the office is a hassle lol
