[@vtztrader1017]

You guys are awesome! Thank you.

[@TheFinancialController]

Thanks for the great question

[@justinstewart7595]

Can you do salary differences based on positions in public accounting versus private. With pathways, work life balance, Experience.

[@chill_nrg5349]

wow 15 years in big 4 tax. it would be great to hear more about that experience. i'm trying to decide if i'm going to specialize in tax. i have 2 years of grad school ahead of me.

[@zakort9331]

I have been working as a GL accountant for J&J for the past 6 months. Do you think I should consider moving into a different role to see new things when I hit the 1 year mark or do you think becoming a senior GL accountant could be better for the future?

[@TheGoldenEagle.oneandonly]

Public accounting sucks! You don’t get paid enough and are expected to work ridiculous hours all year round! I HATE accounting

[@mohamedeassa]

Notification gang.

[@Mel-zd4zg]

what is your advice for someone who worked in industry (as an accountant and financial analyst) for 5 years and wants to move to public accounting at age 28? I'd appreciate tips on how to apply and stand out, tackle the interview..etc.

[@fwangabang]

Does working with the government segment of audit pidgeonhole you into a career with government, or will that translate to a career in industry?

[@mohamedeassa]

A question I have: Is the CMA enough to get a job in industry if my degree is not from America? I was nominated for the IMA's scholarship program during my 4th year of University

[@pennywenny812]

For the first question, what if my end goal isn’t to become a controller? I’m a few months into my tax associate position at a big4 and am heavily considering leaving at the 1 year mark for a “boring” industry position bc I just want a job where I can log off at 5 and not think/stress about it constantly.

[@matthiasrambally1899]

Same question here tbh if you don't mind are you still at a big 4 ?

[@toyamongard5808]

What’s the difference between a Full Charge bookkeeper V.S. An Accountant?

[@dinisurujagodaarachchi1955]

Hey bro,I am from Sri Lanka.I love your videos.I am an advance level student.I study Economics,Accounting and Business Studies.I love these subjects.I want to become a chartered accountant.Is my goal appropriate for the future?

[@robs.8629]

Changing companies often can also lead to higher pay. Especially in this market.

[@TheFinancialController]

Agreed, but do it smartly and look for a good boss and learning good skills

[@mohammadalisaleh9341]

How can i get certificates for my accounting skills? Is there any website that can help?

[@pkey2043]

I just graduated with my Associate Degree in Accounting. What position would you recommend for someone that does not have any work experience in accounting?

[@babblesp1367]

You can get accounts payable or accounts receivable. I’m in AP and I have a bachelor’s degree. However, I was lacking experience. You have to start somewhere, and sometimes you have to start at the bottom.

[@Ana-sp7os]

Hello! I was wondering the advantage if after the cpa license we do a master in accounting? Would that add not much value or it would give advantages in terms of getting hired etc. I was wondering if it was worth it or not. 😊 thanks for the video! Very informative!

[@TheFinancialController]

Great question. Will try to cover it in a video but I like more focus on work experience once you have a cpa

[@hansredgate1]

I am a little lost with my job in FDD big 4 as it’s very niche. I sometimes feel that audit can give a broader background. What do you think about people leaving FDD entering as a controller, FP&A etc.? Am I selling myself short as compared to an auditor

[@TheFinancialController]

Financial Due Diligence is amazing if you take the FP&A CFO route. Audit is the way to go for controller route.

[@7av2]

Have you deal with IRS audit

[@ArshadAlam-bn5ek]

Hello I did MBA after graduation from commerce and worked in printing and packaging company as accountant(ERP) for six years in Saudi Arabia, how can I move to USA?

[@bradz.7164]

At 2:16, you mention that auditing teaches you financial statement analysis. Auditors perform substantive testing of accounts (e.g. reconciling account balances) and perform tests of internal controls. It's misleading to suggest that is financial statement analysis.

[@TheFinancialController]

Brad, auditors perform flux analysis and and inquire regarding changes. These inquires forces them to understand the operations.

[@bradz.7164]

Comparing changes in account balances and inquiring about changes doesn't really meet the commonly accepted definition of financial statement analysis. I think you are correct to say that auditing would give you experience tailoring an audit program, but I think you would have trouble finding former auditors who believed they got any meaningful experience developing their financial statement analysis skills as an auditor.

[@TheFinancialController]

Fair enough, agree that financial analysis is not core to the job

[@londonbyrd5372]

This was really sound!!!

[@Adidas9234]

Request you to upload videos on concepts, practical illustrations rather these useless videos on interviews, should I do this or that??

[@addissondietz5187]

Can I major in accounting with a minor in Criminal justice or is it not good together?

[@TheFinancialController]

I guess only if you love forensic accounting route, FBI, etc, which would be exciting

[@addissondietz5187]

@@TheFinancialController do you know the best way to start in accounting to get to forensic accounting

[@JimGeorgeBaker]

Can a felon become an accountant?

[@Zone7garden]

You can take the classes but people with felonies can not receive fasfa in my state. then even if you pay for your classes in full or take out loans, a board will have to look over all charges. If a board approves you to receive the degree you earned/paid for, you then have to find a employer that will take a chance on you. My tip is if your felony is in theft and over 10 years old, go for nursing. If your felony charges a for drug related charges do not go for nursing. I had a cousin go through this with a nursing degree. I hope it works out for you!
