Where Accountants Go

Where Accountants Go is the career podcast for Accountants, by Accountants! Whether you work in industry, public accounting, are considering becoming an accounting professor, or have aspirations to start your own business, Where Accountants Go will enlighten you on all the possibilities as our successful accounting guests share their stories of how their career has developed.

Melisa Galasso, the owner of Galasso Learning Solutions, joined us for this episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers Podcast.

Many of us have had the thought that we may like to teach, whether it be at a university or privately for companies and continuing education needs, and most of us feel at some level that we would like to help others.  Melisa has turned these two passions into a new career for herself, building on her original foundation of being an accountant.

Her career started as many do.  Melisa was an auditor in the Big 4.  However, it wasn’t long and she decided that path wasn’t for her, so she ventured into industry.  After trying a few positions outside of public accounting, she still hadn’t quite found her niche, and at the same time she was starting her family.  It was at that point that she decided to try teaching… and her passion was found.
