| Hi all.....I spent the summer trying to determine where I wanted to go with my career and have finally made a decision. I turned down an offer for partner status within 2 years with an established firm. Even though the money was great I can't see working 80 hours/week and missing my kid's activites which they said I would. I'm used to too much freedom with working from home. I am partnering with another CPA who was to the point of turning down clients.
I need to spend the next few months getting up to speed on auditing & tax since I was mainly doing month ends & consulting. Can someone lead me in the right direction. I got a brochure weeks ago with different courses but can't find it and can't find anything on the web either. Any suggestions would help. | |

| If you want to brush up on tax basics, most of the companies that sell the annual tax manuals (CCH Master Tax Guide, RIA, Kleinrock) offer self-study courses. Also, check the AICPA website. They have webcams and a lot of self-study courses. PPC (Practitioners Publishing Company) is also a good source. I don't know where you are located. I'm in Texas. Texas A&M puts on some good update seminars each year for tax as does a firm out of McAllen TX. Their updates are called "Back to Basics".
Hope this helps a little. I also have 2 kids and wouldn't go back to a firm for the same reason. I don't want to miss them growing up. | |
