Christian here, and aspiring accountant (maybe). I absolutely love the content and the fact that you both show me a good idea of what the life is like, but you also talk about your faith and what you're reading in the Bible! Awesome to see, and you've gained a new subscriber!

@KatrinaKwong Год назад

Aww I’m so happy to hear! Thank you so much for your support and I hope my content continues to be relatable for you :)

@teytey166 Год назад

I hope to see this type of Vlog in the future ❤ I love to see you managing time when busy season is coming and day to day work ❤ it helps me to be more productive as a future auditor 💪🏻😀

@Abcddef1516 Год назад

I'm so surprised how well you manage your time during peak season. Compared to myself, I would prefer to sleep if I had more time during the year-end period. You're so inspiring. Love it!

@KatrinaKwong Год назад

Thank God 🙏🏼

i love ur videos. you have such a calm aura

@kitkats04 Год назад

Just found your channel and I love the accounting content! I'm graduating in a few months and am so excited to get into this field. (:

@jayhawk328 Год назад

Excellent video, Kat!! I used to work in public accounting, so it's interesting to see what other people's busy seasons are like. I don't miss the hours, but I do miss fun engagement teams and connecting with clients. If you're in your 1st year as an auditor, then I'm sure you will have lots of fun with your SURL testing and confirmation (among other things, of course). Good luck to you!!

@Carly_Zimmerman Год назад

Love it

@KatrinaKwong Год назад

Yay, thank you! I appreciate your support ☺️

@nikla1837 Год назад

As a senior professional in big four, this is so good to see! Looking at the comments, there are so many of you interested in accounting…Come onboard!! Also seeing you hold fast to your faith is just encouraging. May God strengthen you and bless you with knowledge, wisdom and understanding to do the work you have been given.

Im glad I avoided busy season by going into state and local government audit instead of industry. GASB is a bit tough with all the different funds and having different materiality thresholds for each fund but we only work like 40-50 hours per week all year instead of the long hours others have to put in.

I really enjoyed this video! I am about to finish my 2nd internship with my firm (1 audit, 1 tax) and start full-time after graduating this spring. What's some advice you would give to a first year staff accountant?

@josephsy Месяц назад

her workday starts at 9:00 - thank you! I'm recently getting into the field myself, really useful to know what tasks actually goes into 'auditing'

@aguitarist4u Месяц назад

Man, I thought you meant her work day started at 9am, not the 9 minute mark. This was more of a Get Ready With Me video. Haha. Not knocking it, I'm sure there is only so much that can be recorded during a workday at a Big4, but the title definitely seems a little misleading.

@hn5898 Год назад

yeah , it is very thankyou for recording your life as an accountant btw if your content conclude more about your work or add more description about the task then it will be very helpful ,

@alfonsosalinas3026 Год назад

How often do you have to go to meetings and talk with clients? I'm currently in my Junior year of Accounting.

@rioguz23 Год назад

I miss my audit life 😂, hello from indonesia 🇲🇨, been work at accounting firm for 1 years and half, such a memorable and challenging experiences

@TheAmbrosia1996 Год назад

My busy season is like: 8:30am getup 9:30am work 11pm finish work 11:30pm arrive home 1am sleep and repeat Now I'm jealous of your work hours.

@amberliwentee402 Год назад

Thank you. 1) Explanation on why under Deferred Tax Asset, Asset ( Tax Base > Carrying Value ); Liability ( Carrying Value > Tax Base ) 2) Explanation on why under Deferred Tax Liability; Asset ( Carrying Value > Tax Base ); Liability ( Tax Base > Carrying Value )

@KemiKnowsTravel Год назад

I've always wondered what accounts do. I don't know most words, but I now know busy season is Jan - April 😅

@hanah-maycauan7606 Год назад

I'm inspired by you so much. ☺️✨ New subscriber here. ❤️

@cieliacasaway745 Год назад

To be able to work out at 6am, what time do you have to go to bed?

@thinhphamhoang4407 Год назад

Hello, it would be great that you can share the information of the mouse you're using, it really looks fantastic :)

@muhammadhassanali1451 Год назад

it's nice watching your videos, I had a question for you, will AI takeover auditors?

@tima9102 Год назад

Are you an Army? 😊…. Also, I’m torn between working for the big 4 or a midsized firm… any thoughts?

@MisoHungrie Год назад

Hi Katrina! I was looking up Toronto accountants on RU-vid and ran into your channel. Shot in the dark but I was wondering, do you or anyone you know offer tax filing services? I have a RU-vid channel myself and this is my first year of making pretty decent income and I'm looking for help in how to tackle the tax side of things. From your content it looks like you're super busy so I understand if you can't help but if you have any helpful resources or referrals I would so greatly appreciate it. Keep up the great work on your channel!

@KatrinaKwong Год назад

Hey! Unfortunately I don’t do tax services.

@melophile_99 Год назад

Hi Katrina! Wanna know your thoughts since you experienced both tech risk consulting and assurance. Whats more interesting, difficult, challenging for you.. etc..

@KatrinaKwong Год назад

Hey! I find assurance way more interesting because I personally don’t find IT systems very fascinating. I like learning about how businesses operate rather than IT systems. The things we audit are also different. In assurance, you are auditing financial statement numbers (eg. revenue, expense testing) and in tech risk you might be auditing things like user access control (eg. Testing if passwords work etc etc). Both are very stable and needed fields but I think in assurance you will get to learn more about different businesses (eg. How companies generate revenue) but you may not get that same learning experience in tech risk because IT systems and the ways they get tested don’t vary too too much from company to company (eg how many ways can you set up password configurations?…not many)

@melophile_99 Год назад

@@KatrinaKwongoh wow thank you for your insights! all the best this busy season! 😉❤️

@domnavarro816 Год назад

Why am I watching this? It’s like reliving a nightmare.
