Senior Accountant
Office Depot
I was promoted out of audit and into accounting. My group accounted for about $1 billion in rebates annually and my team's pile averaged $400M a year. I learned to do the bread and butter of accountants: doing monthly journal entries in Oracle, doing reconciliations, supervising a junior accountant, and pulling data from various systems to forecast rebates from manufacturers negotiated by Office Depot's buyers. I gained international exposure to operations by completing accounting controls testing in Holland, France, and the UK. My area of accounting was very close to the merchandising aspect of Office Depot so I learned about private branded products, various rebate schemes, and getting…

Internal Auditor
Office Depot
I left public accounting so I could spend less time studying for the CPA in airports. I assisted the Internal Audit team, led by Office Depot stalwart Robert Brewer, and he quickly sent me to Mexico City to review site selection and logistics at Office Depot's Mexican joint venture with the uber-wealthy Alverde family. I led several technology and operational audits in one year, including online marketing and the Project Simplify Oracle implementation review. In my down time, I ensured the numbers on quarterly SEC reports and the CEO's earnings call with analysts were correct. Office Depot's rebate accounting "re-statement" and my work on the vendor programs review led me to my next job at…
