    Hey

    So I expect in January to start my first ever audit job at a regional accounting firm. Any tips to be a great entry level auditor when I begin the work?

    Pray. I would say from my brother-in-laws experience starting in busy season at CLA it was not good for him. GL!

    Study as much as you can or enjoy life as much as you can, and do not worry about the new job until it starts. You will have plenty of time to worry about your job during busy season.

    Be a sponge and accept any kind of work there is. Also, finish your exams FIRST!!

    I agree with above, get your CPA exams done. Don’t even leave one for when you start working. I suggest you take an Excel course.

    100% agree with finishing the exams.

    IF after you pass your last section in December you have time… look for videos/tutorials on auditing cash, auditing AP, maybe auditing revenue.

    However, you can't really book learn auditing.

    GL!
