Finding Balance and Knowing Your Worth: Allison Quintanilla, Class of 2016. Accounting Major

In this episode of Beyond the Beach, I talk with Allison Quintanilla. Allison was a student in my 2015 Business Strategy class and graduated from COB in 2016 with a degree in accounting. She started her career as a junior accountant at a large manufacturer in the steel industry and now works as accounting integration lead at a growing midsize firm that supplies software to businesses in the home services space. In this episode we talk about the plusses and minuses of taking on additional responsibility at your job, asking for what you are worth, knowing when to move on, finding a place you love, networking and being yourself, and how working well with people matters even in a field like accounting.
