If you want to know why Steven Voynich, Jr. became a CPA, look no further than his father.

“My dad is a CPA, and he always had time for us, from family time to sports and vacations,” he says. Steven thought those factors were important to him to so he gave accounting a look.

Today, Steven enjoys the same flexibility his father always had. “I’m an independent advisor, so I have control over my own schedule,” he says. “I spend about half my time outside of the office at job sites and client offices interacting with them learning about their industries and business models, and testing the accuracy of their financial records.”

Outside the office, Steven has the flexibility to enjoy time with his family. “I spend a lot of time outdoors with my family. I just finished up competing in an amateur tennis league, and now I’m on to soccer.”

For Steven, being a CPA is like being fluent in another language. “Accounting is the language of business,” he says. Just like Spanish, or French, once you’ve learned something like that, you can pursue a wider range of interests. In Steven’s case, he’s able to pursue his interest in business.

Makes sense in every language.
