Black Professionals In Accounting

No posts in two weeks? Are we just posting in other bowls but nothing for “us”?

Momma we made it. Out of the four of “us” who started with my group, one quit and one was fired and the remaining two (including myself) are now seniors. #cheers ....

Has anyone been promoted to senior 1 Tax in atl? What was your salary?

Has anyone ever had to go to ethics and compliance because of discrimination? What was that process like and what was the outcome? I’m thinking about it for a situation I’m in

Hi anyone know how I can switch from private to public accounting? I’ve been applying but keep getting denied and I have 2 years of experience in private industry

What's everyone doing for a summer break?
(sad that I have to reach out to here to even have small talk with another black person in our professional world).

Anybody work in ethics and compliance? If so, what’s your current role and previous experience? I’m curious what my career path could look like in this area. I previously was in public accounting

Happy Juneteenth!

Does anyone work in Valuation? I’m trying to transfer. I’m open to relocating.

Has anyone moved from tax to audit because of the exit opportunities?

Thinking of leaving PwC and applying at another big 4 for the group I actually want to be in (individual tax return) I am a first year. Any advice?

How do you guys cover your ass ?

Any Seniors heading to Discover the week of May 21?

Curious, how many of us are Greek? I would say the greater majority I've met here are part of the D9

Anyone else get “advice” or “opinions” on how to dress when you literally wear the same thing as 90% of your colleagues?

Casual dress code doesn’t apply to us I guess....

Yo had no idea this shit existed can’t wait to vent! Wakanda!!!!!!

Just changed groups and realizing that to be successful with this team I’m going to have to be in the sunken place quite often. Starting to hit my limit with corporate America. It’s so draining.

How did everyone do in their exams?

Anyone in AZ?

Why don’t more people go to black events? Like today was Chinese New Year lunch and the wholeeee office came but for Black history month lunch not many came out that weren’t apart of the group

Anybody else get their name misspelled on the reg?

Did anyone notice a little increase in their paychecks? I guess # 45 is good for something my tax rate drop which gave me an extra $119.00 this pay period.

Does anyone have a side hustle, if so, what is it?

If you can drop $18+ on Robyn's products or $15+ on Kiehl's products, yall can get yall advanced tickets to Black Panther! Idc about any rebuttals, don't let BP get treated like Proud Mary… more

Anyone else get their Black Panther opening night/weekend tickets yet? Got mine!

Are there any locations that feel like their offices are diverse beyond just having a few black individuals? Like asians, hispanics, indians etc? For me diversity is beyond just black & white...

Hi ladies what do you think about me rocking dread twist??? It’s such a good easy protective style especially if it’s crotchet

Out of my whole start class maybe 3 were diverse staff 1s in my office. There is no black leadership and it seems like no matter what i do no one wants to connect with me, it’s very discouraging.

thoughts on diversity and inclusiveness?

Over the last year I’ve noticed a lot of black people leaving the firm and I can’t help but think the political climate has something to do with it. Anyone else notice a similar trend in their office?
