I’m in Phoenix. Different firms dominate different industries- Deloitte has a lot of construction/real estate from what I’ve heard, kpmg has a lot of healthcare, not sure what EY does but they’re pretty big, and pwc is super small (50 people ish). GT is pretty big. Regional firms mainly compete with each other, with RSM and CBIZ seeming to dominate. Smaller firms like Moss, CLA and REDW undercut prices and take business in that manner. Also my title is staff but fishbowl never updates I’m actually a senior who is pretty close with a senior manager and he tells me most of this stuff

I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

How am I supposed to get it though? I can’t go to lower ranked firms bc my clients are all “big.” … any suggestions appreciated!

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
