client service

How much of Big 4 auditing is client services? Maybe like time spent working with clients versus actual checking accounting accuracy?

This really depends on your level. As a staff associate, I'd say 30% client communication, 70% audit work. As a senior associate, it's 50-50. As a manager, it's 70%-30%, etc.

Kool-Aid alert: This is a perk of staying at the Firms for a while. Things are always changing, and you keep building on your communication skills and learning the art of keeping the client happy.

Communicating with the client is the toughest part of my Big 4 and IA internship by far. Everything else is simple compared to this.

What are the pros/cons of starting at a big 4 audit practice vs. regional/local/medium audit practice? Can you emphasize the ability/chances of getting promoted as well?
