What kinds of problems do you work on in your job? 

Currently working with a small privately held biotech that has some really promising drugs for people suffering from rare diseases. In order to raise funding for their research, my client is seeking a reverse merger into a public company biotech (whose own drug failed trials). The merger of these companies will allow my client access to more funds, while also providing a more promising investment outlook for the shareholders of the public company. It is an atypical deal structure but in this profession we have to be part of the solution!

What are some common misconceptions about accounting?
That it's just debits and credits and number crunching. That is very far from the reality. It is a profession that requires the right mix of analytical, creative and persuasive skills.
