Down to Business (pt. 1)


This is the kickoff post for an exciting new series that will document my journey to graduate school, with highlights from my adventures in the accounting realm, plus anything else that tickles my toes. Here we'll address all the exciting functions of debits and credits, but also cover more generally the student/working life with all of its complications. Stay tuned...


We know that a subscription to the WSJ is a must have for any B-school student. But here's something you may not know about: CFO Magazine. This is quality reading for any aspiring accountant, or business student for that matter. I've been scanning the pages of CFO magazine since my undergrad days at UGA. You'll gain some solid, behind-the-scenes exposure to the business decisions that are shaping the landscape of our country.

Quick example. Do you know of a Morris Trust tax transaction? How about a Reverse Morris Trust (RMT)? If you are going into tax you need to know this, and you can read about it here. And take a look at the six cardinal rules of resume writing, compliments of Wendy Enelow.

Cheers.
