Eric Lee Manager ShannonAssociates CPA Kent WA

How has working at Shannon & Associates helped you grow?
I’ve experienced tremendous personal and technical growth while working at Shannon & Associates. School can’t completely prepare you for public accounting, but a workplace with great culture and leadership can. Learning how to make decisions with limited information and understanding the consequences of each possible outcome is a crucial skill to have in public accounting. And I credit my personal growth in that to the Shannon culture.
