Connecting with Clients: Gaining Control of Your Career

I started as a private accountant in the hotel industry, then went to work at a small firm, which was in turn acquired by a much larger BDO company. At both firms, I gained great experience at being both a specialist and a generalist, tackling international tax and pass-through tax, as well as transaction advisory services and multi-state income taxes.

But after a couple office moves, I didn’t feel in control of my career. I wanted to be closer to my clients and wanted to be with a firm with a more entrepreneurial nature, and I found that at Weiss.

Here, I can contribute technically to our tax expertise while building client relationships, and I have the opportunity to share what I’ve learned, both internally and externally. Not only are there many more touchpoints with clients, there is a lot of diversity and complexity in the work, which is a great advantage.

The workplace is also more flexible and less corporate, so I still have time to tackle home décor projects and travel, or find time to relax outside by the fire.
