Accounting as a Career Choice for Women

August 25, 2021

Q and A with Shira Baum, PCS Accounting graduate

Q: Is a Masters in Accounting a good choice for women?

 

A: There are many opportunities to find flexible jobs within the field so it’s a great choice for women. One can work in either public accounting– either tax or audit or in private as an accountant or controller. You can often find part time or flexible jobs within the field; many firms are trying to give employees more of a work- life balance.

A master’s degree is looked at more prestigiously in the professional world and can open the doors to many more opportunities with higher pay.

 

Q: Please tell us about the PCS MS Accounting Course.

A: It’s a concise one year program where they cover all the classes and credit requirements needed to get your master’s degree, as well as the knowledge needed to sit for the CPA exam. The program covered all the credit requirements that I needed in order to sit for the exam in New Jersey.

I felt that the classes prepared me well and gave me the knowledge that I needed to take the CPA exam.

The program is very well run. The staff was always there for us and they were very accommodating. The course also coincided with the Jewish calendar which was very convenient.

 

Q: Tell us about your current position? How did the PCS accounting course prepare you?

 

A: I’m currently a senior at PKF O’Conner Davies. I started out as an intern in a small public accounting firm and have moved my way up to a larger, midsized firm (which is ranked 29 out of the top 100 firms).

I am currently doing a combination of both tax and audit. The program prepared us in a way to be able to make both tax and/or audit options for the students. I was provided with the background I needed to get started in the field and to move my way up to where I am currently.

The communication classes were very helpful. It prepared the students with the basics of what to expect at an interview. We were taught how to best present ourselves and show what we can offer at an interview.

 

Q: Tell us about the current job market.

A: The market is very good for accountants right now. Accounting is a growing field full of opportunity.

When I was looking for a job, I reached out to the PCS placement director, and within hours she sent my resume to a firm, I had an interview the following week and a job offer two weeks later.

 

Q: For whom would you recommend the field of accounting?

 

A: It’s a good choice for someone who is more organized, structured, and thinks systematically.

M.S. Accounting program, in conjunction with FDU, is a 15-month program that begins in October. Classes are held 1-2 evenings a week and on Sundays. For more information contact: Tova Sapirman at (732) 367-1500 or aps.courses@gmail.com

 

Accounting: Is a Master’s Degree worth It?

August 24, 2021

Q and A with Neal Granick, Tax Manager at Deloitte and PCS M.S. in Accounting Graduate

 Q: Tell us about your current position.

 

A: I am a tax manager for Deloitte in the Parsippany office; I’ve been here for six years. I started with individual tax returns. I currently do real estate and private equity investor reporting.

 

The PCS accounting program is amazing; I highly recommend it. It’s a great education in a short amount of time. The rigorous course sets you up for the CPA exam and gives you the knowledge to really succeed in the field.

When I began working, I felt like I had an advantage over the other entry-level accountants, even the ones from big-name universities. They didn’t have the same technical knowledge and professionalism. The PCS program really prepares its students for the accounting landscape.

Q: What is the advantage of a master’s degree over a bachelor’s?

A: A master’s degree really gives one a leg up over other entry-level candidates in the job hunt. So when you’re competing for an entry-level position, or really any position for that matter, you look better than someone who just has a bachelor’s. In the last few years, the Big 4 have started paying higher entry-level salaries to new hires with a master’s.

Additionally, it really is a different level of education and prepares you much better technically for the job you will be required to do.

Q: Can you tell us about the current job market? How did PCS help you find your first job?

 

A: The current job market is very hot, specifically after the new tax law was passed. All the firms are hiring aggressively. Everyone is looking for qualified candidates; there’s a shortage of good employees. It’s an employee’s market.

 

PCS helped me get my job. They set me up with an internship in a small mom-and-pop shop in Bayside NY; that was my first experience in public accounting. I worked there for a year. My boss there had contacts at Deloitte and got me in.

 

It can be hard to get into the big 4 straight out of college; PCS has contacts to get its graduates in.

 

Q: For whom would you recommend the field of accounting?

 

A: I recommend it to anyone who thinks that it is interesting. It’s a great choice for anyone who likes numbers.

Accounting is a great field. There is a lot of potential to make a lot of money in the long run- either as making partner in public, or opening your own business.

 

 

Q: Please tell us about some of the opportunities within accounting:

A: Really, it’s endless. There’s tax, consulting, audit, mergers, and acquisitions.

From auditing, you can learn the ins and outs of a company; you can really learn how to run a business and what makes a business successful. And from there you can do anything- you can become a controller, CFO, or even CEO.

A lot of successful businessmen have accounting backgrounds.
