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

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
