The Accountant

The father was an accountant who was employed within Fortune 500 financials. Years back, his professional employment was filed within accounting firms such as Cooper-Lybrand and Anderson-Little. Through time he rose to the occasion as CFO.

He mentored his daughter through accountancy career interest areas. This was within internal practicums and work experiences: the departmental accounts receivable, accounts payable, and end-of-year prepping.

One position indeed to be seriously considered.

The other option was a co-ownership within H&R Block, an accounting firm that addressed individual to small
