Cherry Tong

I am a fresh graduate with a focus in economics and accounting from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have more than five years of studying accounting since my freshman year in Hong Kong and therefore have stronger fundamentals in the accounting area. I have working experience in a small CPA firm as well as one of the big four companies, Deloitte, in the U.S office to gain some real-life experience and receive professional training, for example, preparing tax return documents for clients, maintaining important records for each case, and assisting senior in general audit procedures and process.

While gaining invaluable experience as a student, I’m looking for job opportunities to allow me to become fully immersed in an accounting and business environment.
