Hello, my name is Jack Barsley, I am currently a Graduate student at Iowa State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Accounting in May 2023 Magna Cum Laude, and will graduate from Iowa State in December of 2023 with my Master of Accounting Degree. I have been interested in accounting since my Junior year of High School. On several occasions in my academic career, I have been lucky enough to be a Teacher's Assistant, as well as a Graduate Assistant for the accounting program. I am now 22, but since I was 15 I have held several different jobs. Whether that is a Summer job as a Head Lifeguard at Steeple Run Pool, a Lot Attendant at Home Depot, or working my first professional job at Clifton Larson Allen as an audit intern. I would also like to note that I was a Teacher's Assistant my Senior year of High School for my accounting teacher, as well as a Graduate Assistant for the accounting program at Iowa State. I have gone into more detail about my jobs in the Work Experience section of my profile. After I completed my internship with CLA I received an offer to return as a fulltime Audit Associate in the Manufacturing and Distribution sector in Minneapolis, where I will be returning to after I finish school. Through my internship I was able to realize that I had much more to learn and enrolled in the concurrent masters program at the end of 2022 at Iowa State. I did so, so that I could finish my undergrad and graduate degrees earlier than expected. Since receiving my B.S in May of 2023, I have begun studying for the CPA exams and am starting with BEC. My goal for after receiving my Master of Accounting degree is to become a CPA and work as an Auditor. Through all of my different experiences in life, I have gained necessary skills to set myself on a good path. In all of my different jobs, I have learned that being able to work hard and efficiently will be the thing that sets you out from the rest. I've gained great time management skills, skills to help me be a better leader, and the ability to communicate when I need assistance in something, which is always crucial. Through my years of schooling I've learned crucial computer skills such as proficiency in all Microsoft products, being able to write code in SQL and Python, as well as interpreting data through the use of product like Power Bi and Tableau. For the last six years I have been involved in accounting course that have helped expand my knowledge on the subject that I love.If you wish to reach me, you can email me at jmbarsley@gmail.com.
