Life In Accounting - The Where Accountants Go Podcast

Erin Daiber, founder of Well Balanced Accountants, a coaching business specifically serving the accounting profession, joined us for this episode of Life In Accounting, the Where Accountants Go podcast. Anything But Accounting This episode started with a little surprise.  Erin told the story of her early decisions that led her to want to become an accountant in the first place.  Interestingly enough, her earliest career decision was that she wanted to become anything OTHER THAN and accountant!  However, it was a very influential professor in an undergraduate course that told her she would make a good accountant, and that she had a natural talent for it, that convinced her to pursue accounting as a profession. Coaching is Important During the first few years of Erin’s accounting career, she realized how important good managers and mentors were to an individual’s development both in her own experience as well as through what she was seeing in the workplace.  Some managers were exceptional, and some not so much.
