Kaitlin spent the first years of her public accounting career at a regional firm in Pittsburgh before it was acquired by a large national firm. She stayed at the “new” firm for a couple of years, but ultimately realized it wasn’t right for her when it came to serving her clients the most efficiently and effectively.
When it came time to graduate from Eastern Michigan University just a few short years ago, Pargat was open to all the public accounting world had to offer. He interviewed with a range of firms, from global to regional to smaller organizations. Realizing a small firm wasn’t right for him, he decided to take a chance on a lesser known but larger firm to begin his career. And he’s glad he did.
Alissa’s “plan” was to work in public accounting, then industry, then government — five years each. Then she would head off to teach at a local university. Instead, after working at two global firms for more than a decade, Alissa realized she loved public accounting. But she wanted to forge a slightly different path in the industry, without moving from the city she loved or giving up her time in the community.
Jeffrey took a less-than-traditional path to working at a CPA firm. A lawyer by training with a focus on tax, finance and economics, he decided to work at a regional accounting firm for a few years to gain additional experience before turning to law full time. He ultimately changed course and decided to pursue public accounting instead, but Jeffrey still wanted something different. He wanted to work at a firm that encourages and rewards entrepreneurial employees who help grow the business of the firm.
Like many talented accountants, Mike began his registered funds career at a global firm, as his college advisers made it seem like the only real choice. Eventually, he became the firm’s recruiting champion for his alma mater, Ohio University. And it was one fateful recruiting event that led him to meet up with a former accounting classmate recruiting for Cohen & Co. About a week later, Mike found himself in discussions with a firm he admittedly didn’t know much about.
