      NKSF does NOT perform financial statement audits, only payroll compliance audits of entertainment companies.

      Pros

      Rarely work overtime. Option to work 4, 10 hours days per week, so you have permanent Fridays off work. Everyone is very friendly. Staff is mostly straight out of school. Staff is about 22-25 years old.

      Cons

      WARNING: NKSF does not perform financial statement audits. NKSF only performs payroll compliance audits. The audits they perform are of entertainment companies to ensure that the companies have made the proper pension and health contributions on behalf of the performers to the respective trust funds (WGA, DGA, AFTRA, etc.). The CPA license that they offer are general licenses. NKSF does not offer attesting experience. Very little career growth unless you leave quickly and go work in real public accounting. If you stay here longer than a few years, you will have a VERY tough time finding another job as the experience you gain working here is very specialized and cannot be applied to general accounting. Pay is low with small raises.

      Pros

      Great work location, plenty of restaurants in Westwood, very close to the freeway. Decent benefits and there are plenty of activities such as ice cream socials, bowling nights, etc The job is really what you make and what you give to it

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the favoritism statements are true. Your success is directly linked to the partner you work for. Additionally lots of gossiping (worst than go school) Several employees (at all levels) are completely unqualified for their position. Makes it almost exhausting to work with some people. The politics are kind of depressing

      Pros

      Working in Audit gives you the flexibility of a 4 day/week, 10 hour/day schedule. Friendly environment, everyone is around the same age group on the staff level which makes it easy to relate to one another. Award winning office, good location (Westwood) Not too much micro-management, good exposure to niche market of entertainment and production accounting/audits. Opportunity to network and come in direct contact with professionals from entertainment studios (Disney, Fox, Warner Bros, etc....). Overall, decent pay for entry level accountants/recent college grads.

      Cons

      Too much nepotism and people promoted to job/titles that they do not deserve with people under them doing all the work. No management or partner involvement which trickles down and shows itself with lack of proper training, management, help. Noticeable politics involved, as well as favoritism. Not everyone receives the same treatment in terms of training and staff are often given projects without any guidance. Expectations are never clear which results in confusion. Though initial pay is on par with mid-tier market level salary, raises are very low. Also, the company does not perform financial statement audits which limits exit opportunities. CPA's are given "general" licenses (as opposed to attested ones)
