    How to Get Ahead in Finance & Accounting: The Strategy to Build Visibility with Christine Chang

    In this episode of the How To Get a Job Podcast, Daniel Botero sits down with Christine Chang, founder and career coach at Your Next Chapter Coach, former CPA, and former talent acquisition professional, to explore how finance and accounting professionals can break out of career stagnation, get promoted, and find a career path that actually aligns with their strengths. Drawing from her 18 years of experience in accounting and finance, including running her own CPA firm, as well as her experience in recruiting and talent acquisition, Christine explains why technical expertise alone is not enough to reach the highest levels of the profession. Daniel and Christine discuss the “golden handcuffs” that can keep finance and accounting professionals feeling stuck, how to identify transferable skills when pivoting into a new career, and what it really takes to become a partner at a CPA firm. They also explore why visibility, communication, leadership, networking, business development, and client relationships become increasingly important as professionals climb the corporate ladder, and how accountants can demonstrate their financial impact rather than simply listing the tasks they completed. Christine also breaks down how to approach recruiter interviews differently from hiring manager or partner interviews, why cultural fit and communication skills are becoming even more important as AI handles more technical work, and how investing in yourself can dramatically change your career trajectory. This episode is a must listen for anyone in finance or accounting who feels stuck, wants to become a partner, is looking to increase their visibility and career opportunities, or is considering a pivot into a completely new career path.
