Financial Management Workshop

What Public Accounting Didn’t Teach You

Every year thousands of professionals transition out of public accounting.  No matter where these aspiring CPAs go, the realization is the same.  They are not fully prepared for “life after the CPA firm”.

Newly transitioned employees want to make an immediate impact on their new organizations and the new organizations want them to contribute immediately.  Economics mandates the efficiency of this process.  Employers and employees alike cannot take their time to let this transition evolve.  They must mutually make it happen as soon as possible.

This seminar will provide answers for accountants attempting to make the transition to the corporate world.  Learn directly from the stories of new CPAs who have recently transitioned from public accounting. 

Topics Include:

  • Understand the most common transitional short-comings.
  • Know the “What and How” of financial management credibility.
  • Conquer the Gen-Y leadership challenge.
  • Understand the basics of financial statement analysis: connecting the dots.
  • Learn from interviews with recently transitioned CPAs.
  • Prepare your own Ten Keys for Transitional Success.

Cases and Group Discussion

This seminar includes four group exercises.  A pre-test and post-test provides immediate reinforcement of newly obtained knowledge.
