Quick question for everyone who is working or has recently worked at Big 4: What software do you use? I am mainly interested in what specific tax software they are using, but I am also curious about other types (audit software, time keeping/billing software, etc.).
The reason I am asking is because I have recently gotten into software development as a hobby. I would like to have the capability to build custom add-ons to existing software platforms, and I am curious to know what programming language the big 4 use for their software.
If anyone is curious, I am beginning to see that there are many opportunities when you combine a professional skill-set like accounting with a software development skillset. By combining the skillsets, there are many simple programs that you could build that would be inefficient for a pure programmer to create because he or she would not have the requisite accounting knowledge. Plus, learning to code is not that difficult, and rather fun in my opinion (it’s easier than accounting, and I enjoy it so much I do it in my free time while working full time and studying for the CPA exam).
