I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Jerry Maginnis, a former KPMG managing partner, on my podcast. We discussed career advice for young accounting professionals. Given Jerry's wealth of experience, I summarized his insights in an article on Going Concern.
In short - patience and grit go a long way. Develop intellectual curiosity about client businesses and soft skills. Don't be afraid to speak up and advocate for your needs.
Jerry also debunks some myths about the accounting field while noting exciting specialties on the rise. His decades of wisdom can guide up-and-comers.
I encourage you to read the article for more details on Jerry's tips and stories. Let me know your key takeaways! I think you'll find it a worthwhile read.
