Today we learned that CLA has 130 firms across the United States and that they have expanded internationally as well. They focus their work on digital, taxes, audits, and finance. CLA works to build relationships with their clients to best understand their needs and be a one stop shop. CLA also has great benefits for their employees offering career coaching, wellness initiatives, volunteering and networking opportunities. Students learned about public vs private accounting, certifications required, and what educational requirements are needed for a career in accounting. Thank you to Ben and Sterling for a great morning!
