Life In Accounting - The Where Accountants Go Podcast

Carl Chilton, one of the founding partners of Long Chilton, LLC, joined us for this week’s episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast From Accounting to Aviation Carl became interested in accounting as a college sophomore when he took an elementary accounting course. He found that he related to the course and thought it made sense. Carl’s intention was to continue to the next level course, but life – specifically World War II – got in the way. Carl joined the military, rising to the rank of Second Lieutenant and becoming a pilot. He was assigned to a bomber crew and deployed to Europe where he flew many missions. Upon his return, he returned to school and decided to re-take that elementary accounting course, and then take numerous other accounting courses. Back to Accounting After graduating, Carl began teaching at Brownsville Junior College (now Texas Southmost College). During this time, he attained his CPA. Bill Long reached out to Carl and asked Carl to do some part-time work for him.
