- Summary:
- How can aspiring finance professionals overcome sensory barriers to reach the absolute pinnacle of the accounting world? In this inspiring collection, Michael Edwin Kane explores the personal and professional triumphs of eighteen elite accounting experts. Through detailed interviews, Michael documents the journeys of five deaf CPAs in the USA, ten international Chartered Accountants, and three hearing CPAs raised by deaf parents (CODAs). The book delves into their unique educational backgrounds, the communication strategies they utilized to pass grueling licensing exams, and the ways their identities have shaped their success. By highlighting these remarkable achievements, Michael provides a roadmap for overcoming sensory barriers in high-stakes corporate environments. This book is an essential resource for deaf and hard-of-hearing students pursuing careers in business, accounting candidates seeking motivation for their certification exams, and career counsellors looking for inclusive success stories. It is also a compelling read for CODAs and the broader finance community interested in diversity, equity, and the power of resilience in the workplace
