    Worked at PwC for 4 years in audit, then Disney for 2, now at Warner Bros. for the last 4. So that means I have been in accounting for 7 years.:spy:








    Wait, why does my calculator say that adds up to 10? Hmm, good thing for calculators.

    I'm a mutual fund wholesaler for BlackRock. If anyone on here wants to talk funds/investments, I'm all for it. My brother in law is a auditor for PwC, works like a dog and I totally feel for the guy. Not sure how he does it!

    Which agency and position, if you don't mind me asking?


    Funny, my first B.A. is in Hotel & Rest Mngt. During the second week of my 400 hrs internship I realized that the hotel business was not for me!

    In short, excel bitch while I work towards my CPCU and CPAs :cool:

    lol, analyzing losses, collateral and lines of credit for the insurance side, and generating business interruption and extra expense reports for business interruption property claims.

    Basically, if your factory burns down, we determine how much revenue you are losing and how much extra expense you are incurring to be indemnified by the insurance company.

    I'm a "Branch Manager" of a sub prime lending finance company...I oversee financial, insurance and collection services. It pays the bills and the hours aren't bad but definitely not a job I want to do for the rest of my life.

    Oh my bad ashley, I meant which agency were you with and in which capacity, with the State of Colorado!

    Like I posted earlier, I'm an Auditor/Revenue Agent for the U.S. Dept of Interior. As I came from the private sector after a short stint with the IRS, I find it ammusing that you went state govt to private sector!

    Does your job includes any travel? It still sounds like a cool gig!
