This week on Conversations with Goodman, <\/em>Jeremy Doan (BAcc \u201904, Macc \u201905) talks to host Susan LeBlanc about his career path in the accounting field.<\/p>\n

Doan, who has gone from co-op student to co-op employer, is now a partner at DJB<\/a>, a long-time co-op employer at Brock\u2019s Goodman School of Business.<\/p>\n

Doan has strong ties to the School, having graduated from Goodman with two accounting degrees and having taught part-time for nine years in the accounting department.<\/p>\n

He explains that he sees co-op work terms as a lengthy job interview process because as an employer, he is able to get to know co-op students and work with them to mold them into career-ready professionals who are able to use their accounting knowledge and experience to handle the demands of the job.<\/p>\n

Following a traditional public accounting career, Doan explains that it\u2019s not all number crunching.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t just sit there and deal with numbers \u2013 it\u2019s a big part of it, but a lot of it is creative thinking and tax planning and meeting with clients and trying to determine what their goals and objectives are,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This podcast is the latest in the\u00a0Conversations with Goodman<\/em>\u00a0series which is produced by the Goodman Marketing, Communications and Alumni Relations team and features guests from the Goodman community.
