Many accounting graduates dream of joining large firms right out of college. That dream became a reality for Dustin Wheeler. However, it didn't last long. 

"Right out of college, I moved to Las Vegas and got a job with the largest local firm," Wheeler explained. "And my job there was pretty much strictly tax."

"After a short stay there, I left for an opportunity with a smaller firm of about 16 people, which was a good change for me. It gave me an opportunity to develop some other talents that I wasn't able to use at the previous firm," he explained.
