Life In Accounting - The Where Accountants Go Podcast

Our guest for this week’s episode of Life In Accounting was none other than Bruce Howard, Career Advisor at Texas State University… and a former Accountant! A humble beginning in Accounting Bruce has come full-circle in that he originally graduated from Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University) with his accounting degree. He started his career at Tesoro in a ‘rotational program’ where he was able to try out several different departments, and ended up choosing to work in corporate accounting.  Similar to our previous guest Bill Schneider that has built his career at AT&T by continuing to grow internally, Bruce worked his way through approximately 10-12 different roles in his 21 years at Tesoro and much enjoyed the experience. Developing the Accounting Workforce After his tenure at Tesoro, he changed the direction of his career and moved into the workforce development field. Since then he has worked in marketing and recruiting for a CPA firm, worked as an Associate Director in Career Service
