Students from Mr. Ramel's Accounting class attended a guest speaker who is an actual CPA. Jason Treadwell (Treadwell Consulting Group) spoke to the students about possible Accounting careers and the career field as a whole. Students also were able to ask questions to Jason about the curriculum that we have learned so far including journal entries, general ledger entries and cash flow. Jason owns his own Consulting Group and is a CPA in the area. He previously worked for Deloitte, which is considered 1 of the Big 4 Accounting firms in the nation. #hillcresthawkpride
