I started working at a small CPA firm just this past week (will be doing mostly tax work). Basically, my training from day 1 & 2 was read pdf tutorials and watch videos of the programs I will be using. Then after, I was already given work to do — for an actual client! I sat for 2 hours looking at all the “workpapers” and not knowing where to start. I am just so frustrated and already feel like quitting. Any advice on how to better overcome the first weeks/months of public accounting? I honestly feel so incompetent and feel “out of place” surrounded by these smart CPAs…. I don’t know if it’s because I’m doing tax work (which I’m not good at to begin with) or I’m just not really fit for this public accounting world….. ANy advice is appreciated
