Accountancy Student Spotlight: Faith Bruce Hometown: San Antonio, TX Residence Hall: McGlinn Hall What inspired you to pursue a degree in accounting? I chose to study accounting because of the wide variety of career options and industry knowledge that an accounting background can offer. How has your perception of accounting evolved since starting college? Through my studies, I have gained a deep respect for the accounting profession because of its importance in keeping markets fair and transparent. Today, I feel that my love for accounting is not just a career aspiration, but also a vocation. What is your favorite class you've taken and why? I loved taking Data Analytics in Accounting with Laurel Mazur because of how the class broadened my understanding of various useful Excel tools for conducting effective audits, optimizing product mixes, understanding stock options, and evaluating the outcomes of different business decisions. This class inspired me to explore Data Analytics further as a concentration in the MSA so I can gain more expertise in this new, valuable area of accounting before entering the workforce. What did you like best about your summer internship? What was the most important takeaway from such an experience? This past summer, I was an intern for the Payroll Accounting department at H-E-B, a retail grocery chain popular in Texas. In this role, I was responsible for using tools in Excel to streamline the department's processes for conducting the Work Opportunity Tax Credit survey. My favorite part about this experience was working with my team to gain a better understanding of each person's strengths and how they could be best used to help employees at H-E-B. My strengths were my knowledge of Data tools and the way I empowered other members on my team to utilize them, which left me with the takeaway that I can add real value to a firm even with limited knowledge coming in, so long as I am on a team who helps each other along the way. This upcoming summer, I am excited to intern with EY San Antonio in their Assurance practice and learn about the world of public accounting from my future team. What advice do you have for other students aspiring to pursue a career in accounting? My advice for students interested in accounting is to always ask questions. Whether you are confused about a topic in class, or wanting to know more about the role of a Big 4 partner, I would highly encourage taking the initiative to raise any and every curiosity you have. Professionals in the accounting world love talking about what they do, and they will always make time to help you if you are willing to take the first step.

CPA with the 3rd largest CPA firm in Tennessee and #85 on IPAs Top 100 list. I talk Automotive and Tax and a few things in between.
To the 2024 new interns in public accounting - welcome!! This is for all of you, not just those that joined the best firm in the world (HHM - if that needs clarifying). Welcome to an exciting time and the start of your career - you picked a phenomenal industry to go into, but I am sure you already know that. There is a large need for public accountants in the future, so you picked a secure and well-paying future - one that can be customized to your preferences. You can be partner, you can start your own firm, you can work a reduced schedule and focus on yourself, you can work with non-profits, you can become connected to the most powerful and influential people in your city, etc. Some of you have no idea what you are in store for, some of you think you know but will be caught off guard, and some of you will somehow magically already be prepared. Regardless, at the end of April, you will all have a new outlook on what public accounting is as a whole. Some quick advice : - Remain humble, this is the most important rule - Keep a good attitude, never complain about the people you work with, even when you are in a room with others who complain about them. - Take the scary projects - these are the ones you learn from - You will be working with interns who already know they want to make partner, and interns who aren't even sure they want to do public accounting for a living. Focus on yourself and your own path - you do not have to want the same things as each other or the same future. There is still a spot for you, and that spot is valuable - To the point above - focus on yourself!!!! If one intern seems to be getting all the work, don't get discouraged. Don't compare - I promise you - PROMISE YOU - that the standards set while you are an intern do not correspond at all to your full time career. Trust me on this one. Thats all I've got! If you can give any of the new 2024 interns advice - please feel free to add below! 😊

To add to Chelsea O'Shields, CPA list. - You know more and less then you think you do. You will for sure run into scenarios in which you feel like you’re completely lost, relax. You were hired for a reason, you’re smart and you will have time to show what you know in time. If you feel and act like you know everything, you don’t! You’re going to come back with your tail inbetween your legs if you act like you do and lose out on so many learning opportunities. Embrace being in the Tax Trenches and get ready to learn!

Finance Business Partner| Professional Accountant| Data Analyst| QuickBooks Proficient| Financial Modelling & Valuation Analyst
In the accounting profession, there’s a wide gap when it comes to having practical and hands-on experience, and this gap is increasing daily. To excel as an accountant, there’s a high level of knowledge that is required. If you lack this knowledge, it becomes challenging especially if you are a chartered accountant without a paid job. The most common challenges can also arise during interviews. Here, you’re expected to have good and practical knowledge in different areas of accounting. Also, with the high unemployment rate in the country, it has become difficult to close these gaps. And, most times, even when you get the job, there is little or no exposure to open certain areas of accounting. As a chartered accountant with years of experience, here are some things that can help accountants in such challenging situations: 1.) Management can ensure that they rotate staff within the department to enable them to work in different roles. This will greatly increase their exposure on the job. 2.) Training should be done at least once or twice a year to help staff focus on areas that need improvement. This will greatly impact on performance of the staff. 3.) The world has gone global, everything we need is online. Every knowledge we seek is online. Before you get to areas that will need a one-on-one mentorship make the moves with seasoned consultants, and put in the effort. 4.) Engage in personal development activities. Write out areas you need to gain knowledge on every year. 5.) Belong to communities where you can learn from others. More like a peer-to-peer community. 6.) Be ready to part with your funds when you seek knowledge, not everything can be gotten for free. Some knowledge you seek must be paid for. Seek someone to walk you through that path. It’s easier to have someone walk through that path with you because it might take a longer time for you to get there alone. One of the things I want to achieve in the long term is helping accounting professionals to bridge that knowledge gap. I have loads of experiences that can’t be fully written today, both good and bad. I understand it can be difficult at times because of these high expectations. But again, we must do all we can to manage the challenges to improve ourselves. I have created a community where I share my knowledge of accounting topics to help other accountants grow in their careers and add value to their organisation.
