Self-Introduction
An active CPA sharing the 'reality of audit firms'
Hello, I'm Pit!
I am a female accountant working at a major audit firm in a metropolitan area.
Through my experience in J-GAAP, IFRS, and public sector audits, as well as studying abroad, working overseas, and traveling to 27 countries, I have gained a broad perspective on studies, careers, and language learning.🌏
In this note, I will share the reality of the CPA exam, working at an audit firm, career paths, and overseas experiences based on my own real-life experiences.📚✨
