Accounting Conversations
With Chayton Farlee
Center for Accounting Transformation
For many accounting students, the profession appears to offer two primary destinations: tax or audit.
But what if that’s only part of the story?
In the latest episode of Accounting Conversations, host Chayton Farlee, an assurance associate at CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA), welcomes Kaden Cook, CPA, CMA, a virtual CFO with Anders, for a conversation that challenges many of the assumptions students have about accounting careers.
Cook’s own career follows a path that many students may not realize exists. He begins with bookkeeping, gains experience in accounts receivable and accounts payable, discovers outsourced accounting and eventually finds his way into advisory services, where he helps business owners make financial decisions rather than simply report financial results.
That distinction becomes one of the central themes of the conversation.
