Year End

As the summer comes to an end, the accounting team has been busy finalizing 2007 financial statements for our clients and getting them over to their tax accountants for the returns to be prepared. It has been a great learning experience for me to be able to assist in adjusting entries to close the books for the year. I look forward to seeing how the final financial statement numbers turn out on the tax returns to see the direct connection between the work we perform for clients to their bottom line earnings.

 As a recent college graduate it has been interesting to see the transition between how lessons are taught in school and translated into real life. For instance, at the university we were only examining ideal situations with fake companies, where as in the corporate world decisions are not always black and white. You can see that each company does things differently and it is necessary to deal with them on a per client basis.  This has taught me how to handle a variety of situations, which has ultimately broadened my knowledge and will help me with future situations.
