I AM THE VSCPA

A YOUNG PRO >> Two minutes with April Jung, CPA

April Jung, CPA, is a forensic accountant

with PricewaterhouseCoopers in Tysons Corner. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia’s McIntire School of Commerce and the 2015 VSCPA Leadership Academy. She enjoys traveling for business or leisure and visiting any of Virginia’s beautiful wineries.

I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT... Learning foreign languages. My first language is Korean, and I learned Spanish in school and some Mandarin during college. I often worry about forgetting them, so I try to find every opportunity to practice them.

PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THIS BUT… I used to be left-handed as a child. My parents, who are Korean, considered left-handedness a superstition and discouraged me until I finally became dominant in my right hand. Ironically, my dad is left-handed. MY ADVICE TO FELLOW CPAs IS… To always invest in people.

IF I WEREN’T AN ACCOUNTANT, I WOULD… Work with a refugee program, as I did as an intern in college. I worked mainly with Somali refugees who were employed by one of the college dining halls and were paid for two hours a week to learn English through the program.

I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT… Lip balm, and one last check of the weather.

I WISH CPAs KNEW… There is a lot more work ahead after taking the CPA Exam. It’s easy to get burned out.

I’M A CPA BECAUSE… It is a well-respected and multifaceted profession. I’ve wanted to be an accountant since high school, when I took my first accounting class and got my first job as a teller at a credit union. n
