Accounting Career Question?

What's the difference between working at an accounting firm helping people with taxes vs working as an accountant for a single company to help the company out with business deals and things like that? Salary difference? Stress? Work Hours? Career security?

Suggestion:

In general, your have job skills working for a corporation than for taxes. Corporations your also have more upward mobility can will have different job functions every week. Month end for a corporation can be stressful. Many companies have month end closing for accounting and need to double check the work for instance for General ledger or sales amounts.

I would say your have more job security for a corporation. Taxes you may get laid off at the end of tax season or have slow periods. Working for a corporation your salary should be higher as you move up the ladder. Also work for a company that gives stock options and bonuses and your be on top again. Most corporation accountants or finance majors work 40 hours per week sometimes more with month ends. Good luck!
