The Best Places to Launch a Career
The surprise in BusinessWeek’s second annual ranking: Accounting firms have raced
to the head of the pack. BusinessWeek September 13, 2007
Why? Enormous demand. Tremendous opportunities. Exciting appeal. Excellent
pay. More flexible work culture. Bringing value.
________________________________________________________________
A recent report from the AICPA (The American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants): “Today there are unlimited career opportunities for CPAs. In fact,
the choices are so vast, and so varied, that choosing a career path can become a
major challenge.”

“Having started out as an engineering major I never really explored the field of
accounting until I took my first class. To my surprise I found accounting to be very
similar to engineering – both based on the application of logic and reasoning to analyze
complex problems within a rules-based context. What made accounting the clear
choice for me was my realization that accounting was the true insider’s guide to
business and the economy.”
Adam Feld
Partner
Barnes Dennig & Co., Ltd.
“In my own career I started as a staff accountant at a large CPA firm, advanced to
manager within that firm, then branched out into consulting. I left the firm to become
CFO of a manufacturing company, and have since moved into an operations role. I
firmly believe my degree in accounting provided the foundation from which to build
skills leading to this diverse career path.”
Drew Bachman
Vice President
PVC Product Manager
Chase Industries
“Today I serve a variety of professional service firms to help them succeed from a
financial perspective and from a people perspective. I simply would not have been
able to do this effectively had I not become a ‘business doctor’ via my major in
accounting.”
Diane Brown

“Majoring in accounting and obtaining my CPA has proven extremely valuable in my
corporate business practice. Regardless of the projects I work on from time-to-time
(mergers and acquisitions, venture capital investments), I always feel that I have a leg
up in terms of analyzing financial statements and advising my clients as to financial
aspects of the transactions.”
