While working in accounting or the broader financial field is often centered around numbers, dollars, and other known quantities, there can often be a lot of questions when you step back from the figures and calculations and ask the “why” of doing what you’re doing.

Denise shows you the key things to know, where to get additional resources, and how these apply to working as an accountant or CPA.
