Some people say that "accounting isn't sexy" and that it's hard to get people to become accountants. AdvertisementDuring my sophomore and junior years, I interned with a tax firm and a CPA firm doing bookkeeping and tax work. I joined a national firm doing tax work in 2018.

Fixing the culture at some accounting firms and modernizing pay incentives would go a long way toward changing the profession's image.
