Debra Seefeld, CPA &amp; Partner with Seefeld &amp; Company in Houston, Texas, joined us for this week’s episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast.10 years into her career…Debra’s interview has an interesting start in that she worked in industry under a CPA for about 10 years before deciding to pursue her accounting degree. She had great respect for the individual she worked for and therefore became interested in becoming a CPA herself, which was a major investment of time given that she was about 30 years old and had already started her family.The Business of AccountingThis term comes up several times throughout our interview. Debra has always been interested in the business of accounting itself, such as how firms operate and why they work the way they do internally. It was this interest that led her to accept a position out of college with a local firm over an offer that she had with one of the Big 4 accounting firms. The decision worked out well for her though. She stayed there for about 12 years, with most of that being at the management level.Peer Review, building a practice, &amp; volunteerismAll these topics run together in the interview. Debra has incorporated peer review into their practice as one of their offerings, but that line of business has come from her interest in the ‘business’ of accounting as well has her volunteer efforts at the state level. Whether or not the topic of peer review interests you, I think you will find some of her insights about building a firm very valuable. Also we talk a little at the end about Executive Women’s Alliance, an organization there in Houston comprised of executive ladies that serve the community by providing mentorship to school age girls that are potentially at risk of not being able to perform to the best of their ability in school due to extenuating circumstances.I hope you enjoy this episode. It’s packed with a lot of variety.See you next week!
