I have a couple of questions regarding side jobs that an auditor can do. I was wondering if it is possible for an auditor to perform part-time bookkeeping services for a non-client but that operates on the same industry that I audit?
Also, is it possible for me to get into a part time tax service job knowing that my firm also perform tax returns/forms? I am afraid this could be a conflict of interest and affect my license.
If I were to look for another CPA firm and I do not disclose my part-time jobs on the resume or forms, can potential employers do full check of my employment history and find out of my side jobs?
I do not want to sacrifice my audit career, but I want to make extra money before making it to manager at my firm, and senior auditor salary does nothing else but to pay the bills.

Thank you,

Money aside, why do you want to do this? Maybe your bills being too high is the problem. Try making cuts in your budget and then reassess.

Passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam!

Aside from money, I feel like I could learn something new. I have never done accounting nor taxes, so I believe it could be good exposure, but I really dont want to give up on my audit career just yet.
