Chelsey Buck, a third-year associate at Lathrop GPM, says experience crunching numbers and creating spreadsheets as a certified public accountant is benefiting her mergers-and-acquisitions practice and legal career.
Buck worked in public accounting for two years before pursuing her other long-held interest, the law.
“The biggest way that my accounting experience benefits my practice today is being able read and understand financial statements and reports and also just understanding general accounting and tax concepts and principles,” Buck said. “That’s been a big value add to my practice.”
