Find a Mentor on TSCPA’s Online Mentor Network
Are you weighing a career move and looking for a little guidance? Do you need advice on resolving a conflict in the office? Since you probably don’t want to discuss these types of issues with your boss, TSCPA has developed a customized database for you to find a CPA mentor. Called Mentor Network, the program is available online at tscpa.org and lets CPA, candidate and student members search for potential mentors via criteria like chapter, years of experience and specialty area.
All you do is enter your desired specifications, choose a mentor from the list of matches, and then e-mail your question. It may be a one-time exchange or it may develop into regular e-mail correspondence. Besides finding a mentor on tscpa.org, you can also volunteer to become one.
