Rodney, Senior Associate
Assurance & Business Advisory Services
Assignment: Auditing the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Where: New Jersey, with travel to various NBA cities.
Background
"While playing Division II college basketball, I realized I'd never play in the NBA. So I decided that there would be other ways to work with the NBA."
A strong foundation
"I concentrated on accounting, because in business, you need a solid foundation and accounting provides it. I was fortunate enough to get a college scholarship from PwC."
The coolest
"I have audited the NBA for three years, and each year, I enjoy new and exciting experiences. It's the coolest job in accounting."
The perks
"I've gone to two finals and the NBA celebrity all-star events, at which I've been confused for a Hollywood celebrity many times."
Road games
"Two of my favorite NBA cities to visit are San Antonio and Salt Lake City."
He's still got game.
"I'm the captain of the PwC Florham Park basketball team. We've developed a team that's really competitive. We're 22 and 2."
Misperceptions
"People think, 'Oh, it's accounting, you're going to have your head down with numbers. But it's really exciting. I've been exposed to new things and great people."
Full circle
"I'm a member of the PwC Minority Circle. It's essentially a network of African Americans, Hispanics and Asians. It's a way of networking with one another and with mentors."
