Life In Accounting - The Where Accountants Go Podcast

Joey Tackett, partner with the Big 4 firm Deloitte in Houston, joined us for this episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast. Humility & graciousness You will notice several times in this interview that Joey makes reference to his upbringing and how hard his parents worked to give him a good start in life. I mention it several times near the end of the podcast, but it is worth mentioning here as well… Joey is a very gracious and humble individual and it is apparent throughout the interview. He really does appreciate the opportunities that have been presented to him through his years with Deloitte. Path to Partner Joey’s path to partner started with an internship. He interned twice at Deloitte and decided to accept their offer for full-time employment. He spent 5 years in the New Orleans office, and then had the opportunity to join their national office in Connecticut. After a couple years in Connecticut, he returned to Houston and later was admitted as a partner in their audit practice. D
