Deloitte Reflection

Deloitte is a well-known public accounting firm. It is considered to be one of big four companies in the accounting field with many recognizable achievements. During the presentation we had in a previous accounting class conducted by three Deloitte employees, I was very proud of being an accounting major. The presentation provided a wide range of how accounting is used in real-life and how effective it can be if used properly along with how Deloitte operates. An accountant is a successful profession and one cannot know everything by relying on studying. Having core knowledge of accounting and applying it to real world might be difficult since what is being taught is based on a certain scenario which not always the case in real world. Thus, experience plays a big role on one’s comprehension of accountancy. In addition, Deloitte’s senior manager, Aaron Craft, pointed out an important issue for undergraduate students which is the early looking for a career. Seeking a job is difficult specially if done solo and for that a student should utilize the resources available in an efficient manner. Getting involved with business firms in ASU like “meet the firms” can be beneficial by proving your existence and enthusiasm to the workforce which later on could help you in earning a position in a company such as Deloitte. Once a career is earned in a public accounting firm, a person should take initiative in a project and get whatever help is necessary in order to complete that project. Furthermore, communication in the work area is significant since most of the work related to these kinds of jobs requires a team to get it done. Consequently, one should have excellent person and communication along with core accounting skills in order to succeed in the career and gain the best of it.
