Experience
Job security is what attracted me to public accounting, but the reason I stayed in public accounting is because of the variety of opportunities, professional culture and the incredible work relationships that I have built throughout my career.
Specifically, being able to help multiple clients in different industries in a way that’s impactful is a gratifying experience that allows me to continue to grow professionally and provide more value to a greater number of clients.
I really enjoy listening to our clients’ issues and problems and figuring out how to solve them.
Because property tax is administered at the local level, it is a huge administrative burden. It’s so rewarding to be able to streamline the work effort, build in the appropriate checks and balances and minimize our clients’ tax burden along the way.
