Same as any other B4; long hours, average pay, lots of politics. Personally, I’d take Deloitte over any other B4

In terms of onboarding as a new employee - what do they do in terms of reference checks ?

like

@Finance1 - are you meaning more on the criminal background part or are you talking specifically about asking past employers how your work performance was? Full criminal background check and prior employment and education are verified. As for actually calling references to get a sense of how well you performed your job? Not officially - BUT - Tax people know each other - and know colleagues at other firms so getting the low down details is done behind the scenes if there's any red flags to check into.

It’s really going to depend on your service line. I’m guessing you’re BTS given you didn’t specify beyond tax. BTS M&A Transfer Pricing etc are all tax but could be totally different within LA. It really depends on the group you work with. That said I love it here. Come join D tax!!

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
