I am a public accountant, makeup and beauty enthusiast, and love to share my knowledge and skills with anyone willing to listen. Most importantly, I am a young Christian sharing Jesus to the world in my own way. I graduated with a B.S. in Accounting in 2017 from Penn State and decided to document my journey as a first-year staff in public accounting. I love sharing my love for accounting (and more) with you all and am super excited to document my growth journey in my public accounting career, document me becoming a CPA, and obtaining my master's degree with you all.

I just had this comvo with my brother, he talking about he doesn't care about long hours if he was making my salary he would be happy, im like "...yEah OkkKKaaYYY" lol
Lol let him have his share
“Having free food is not enough compensation to over work me”👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 YES, yes and a thousand times yes!
I'm a high schooler and I want to become an accountant. Thanks for giving me advice and stuff that I need to know
You can do it! Happy to be of help with any questions you have.
Hello. I have just watched your most recent video about such things you wish you knew before you have gotten into the Accounting field.
There were some things I, myself, wasn't taught when I took up Accounting. I had to find out about it on TH-cam.
Also, I was also taught such things as Basic and Financial Bookkeeping and Accounting. I also heard about Cost Accounting and Tax Accounting; but, I wasn't taught that.
So, I know what you mean from what you said in the video.
I hope and pray you will keep up the good work in what you are doing. I beseech your prayers as well about this. Thank you for sharing this video. I look forward to your response, and also look forward to more of your upcoming videos if you will have any. Thank you so much again. Take care, and God bless you.
Thank God for your channel!
I wish I knew anything about accounting 😔 I’m in secondary with no life and has dreams on getting big salary but I don’t even know how investments work 😦
Me too you’re not alone but we will learn it’s easy 👍🏼
This sounded so real!!! Would love to hear an update. Have you made senior ? Any further advise ?
Thank you. What would you like to know exactly? And no I did not make Senior yet 😫
Could a bachelors degree in accounting be done online? Thinking about doing the accounting degree online at Penn State?
I am a penn state alum so yasss! It can be done online for sure but I’d recommend being very disciplined. Or do a hybrid
Yes capella and maybe western governors University
Hello New Friend. Cool Video 😎
Wow the first person that actually kept it allllll the way real when it comes to these kinds of questions !!!!! Thanks so much. I have one year left with school and that was the thing, i was concerned with the income. Is there any difference once you earn your CPA license? Like can you start off with more? How often do raises come around if so , is it a huge jump or maybe a dollar or so more?
Thank you. Glad this was helpful. Salary does increase significantly the more you move up. (More só from senior to manager and to partner/director). The income is good but it could be better. I started off making a certain amount and when I went to industry I got around $10K increase. So it helped when I had to come back to public accounting leverage my salary even though I’m not yet a senior. When you earn your cpa you get a bonus if you complete it within a certain time frame but you do get good pay as a manager and above with a cpa. Raises depend on firm and performance but typically everyone gets an annual increase if the firm is not operating at a loss.
I am a third year first generation accounting student and I do not have any one in my life that has a career in a professional field and it has been very difficult and trying to navigate corporate America and this video was a great help thank you so much. I need help setting up my LinkedIn profile to find internships is there anyway you can do a video on that?
hajiyo_ enow I have a blog post coming out today at 8am est on this. Checkout my website.
hey, would you be interested in creating an “accounting lingo” video? this would explain woulda like engagements & the different position on you team. love your videos!
I definitely noticed there are not many African Americans working in accounting. I noticed that in undergrad as well. My experience has been different in that I have encountered more women than men in the accounting profession (private sector)
Thank you! Yes there were 5 of us total in my accounting program who graduated my year of which were all Africans. I have African American friends in public accounting but it is few. And yes I also experienced when I left public more women in accounting than men. But public is a different world lol. What type of accounting do you do?
@@corporatelynicole It was intimidating at first but I've gotten used to it. I work as a Staff Accountant; processing a/p & a/r, payroll & some light cost accounting. I'd like to focus more on Tax if I ever decide give public accounting a try.
Low-balled is an understatement. Mentally its alot, the concentration and attention to detail, analytics etc. They never pay you what your worth.
so true sis.
Are there periods during the month or year when its not busy
Yes. Usually between April - August
Nicole, what are some things you think you would've pursued besides accounting?
I would’ve pursued a degree in engineering or IT industry. I am considering shifting gears to that sector soon.
Nicole P Do you mean being an accountant in those sectors or changing your profession entirely?
Changing profession entirely.
Nicole, have you got a video to do with you deciding to change careers and if not can you make one?
thanks
Nicole, how are you making the jump? Im currently studying accounting, but something tells me I wont be happy.
The trips that u take are they paid for or do u pay
mkananu candykananu it’s paid for by the company
Where did you get your bachelors?
