Do you mean is public accounting, in general, a decent place for lawyers? Or did you mean a specific practice area within accounting?

Yes. It’s a stable industry with interesting work and an immense amount of room for growth and development. Pay is pretty great too after a few years experience. Relatively easy entry for lawyers as well compared to other areas.

I traditionally practiced for a couple years before PA and I will never go back. Tax is home for me.
