I'm a CPA who's been at a small public firm for 9 years, doing mostly audit work. Since having kids, I've been working 30 hours a week, and I'm on track for management. I'm thinking about making the jump to internal audit, though. Do I need to get my CIA if I already have my CPA? And how stable is internal audit compared to what I'm doing now?

You’d be surprised how many internal auditors don’t have their CIA, especially if they already have a CPA. It can help you stand out, but it’s not always required, especially if you’re bringing solid public audit experience. And in terms of stability, internal audit tends to be pretty steady unless a company is going through major restructuring.

Hello all, I have an offer from Quantiphi and another famous travel company which is building a technical arm for themselves. Both the companies are offering same compensation. HRs are calling for offer acceptance. I am leaning towards Quantiphi as the culture is well known to me.
But I have to decide soon. Should I accept both the offers and then decline one at the time of joining. I am new to this and find this a little unethical. Can someone help?

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners.

It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.
