会计职业的发展方向

Irene

本人曾在一家CPA Accounting Firm（４个人） 工作了２年，后来又进入一家CA Fim（１０个人） 工作了一年。已经考完了CPA 的所有课程。本人想今年或明年要孩子，感觉在会计事务所工作压力比较大，又要填Timesheet,  所以想转到中大型公司做公司会计。有中介劝我先去大一点的会计事务所做一段时间，再转到公司去。我现在对以后的发展比较困惑。想听听大家的意见。

看你要什么了，在公司确实比firm轻松些

Never worked in firm before. And don't think I will ever work in a firm even big 4. Timesheeting a few minutes will kill me....

Definitely prefer big companies, less pressure relatively speaking. You don't have to work for a 2nd tier firm before entering the commercial world. But it could be hard to get a senior job in big companies given your previous employers are not high profile ones.

我们公司属于中型公司, 一共才80多个人. 不过很轻松, 你做慢点也没关系, 只要你说做不完, 老板也不会说你, 因为老外的动作比你更慢, 他们有理由相信你是由于来不及才不做的, 而不是偷懒, 否则让他自己去做去, 看看到底谁快.

小firm一般去中小公司工作，大firm出来一般去大公司工作。大小公司都有各自好处，没有绝对。

和cygrace有同感:)

Thanks for everyone. I already attend an interview with an Australian manufacture company. But when CFO asked me how to do the Receivable reconciliation, Payable reconciliation and payroll reconciliation, I didn’t know how to answer. Can someone here help to answer this question? Next time, when I meet same question, I know how to answer.

I only do the AR reconcillation, as we are using Oracle, so using the aging report in Oracle compare to the report in trial balance. It's difficult to explain if you are using different software.
