Wow, I was waiting to see if anyone said anything at all, but... Silence.

I'm interested to know what your idea of "support for Black accountants" is, OP. What does that look like for you?

a place to support career growth (i.e. offers promotion and has good team structure) and opportunity to build a network...guess I'm describing an imaginary place

We have this at CohnReznick. I would say the team structure depends on your office and practice line (tax, assurance, advisory), but we have a national employee resource group/network that started a year ago, CR BLAC. The board seems interested in connecting employees across offices and providing mentorship and career development to any accountant who requests a mentor within the group. Black people talking to other Black people.

At the top PwC but it depends on the office & group still.

It’s hard to say.. having worked at both KPMG and EY, I can’t say I’ve felt that they are different in how they promote and retain black talent, or any person of color. I would say that I’ve seen more black leaders (partners) at KPMG than I did at EY

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.
