accounting<\/a> degree could support a future career in law. But then he started an internship at PBS and became absorbed in his role working for an executive producer affiliated with the station. It was his first exposure to the inner workings of a professional accounting environment. \u201cThe executive producer was working on a biographical piece for the network,\u201d says Khaimov. \u201cWe interns were in the back office working on finances and tax-related items.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cIt was pretty awesome going back and seeing people who had helped prepare me for my career, polishing my r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and interview style, among other things.\u201d Khaimov also received help through the Harvey L. Young \u201959 Family Scholarship in Accounting, graduating magna cum laude in 2006.<\/p>\n
Today, Khaimov is a real estate tax partner at global accounting, tax, and advisory firm EisnerAmper. He also serves as a director-at-large for the Brooklyn College Alumni Association, regularly returning to speak with students and offer the same kind of guidance he once sought.<\/p>\n
When asked what advice he gives prospective business students, he doesn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cHard work matters. Proactiveness matters even more,\u201d says Khaimov. He stresses that, especially in accounting, what students learn in class truly follows them into their careers. He also says that employers can teach technical details, \u201cbut they can\u2019t teach work ethic or initiative.\u201d Those qualities, which he sees consistently in Brooklyn College students, are what set them apart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For a brief time before he was accepted to Brooklyn College, Arthur Khaimov \u201906 thought he might not…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173441,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[18550,70715,98,100,99,70716,70717,70718,9,24,63,36304,62791],"class_list":["post-173440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-accounting","tag-arthur-khaimov","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-brroklyn-college-alumni-association","tag-class-of-2006","tag-harvey-l-young-59-family-scholarship-in-accounting","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-pwc","tag-school-of-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173440\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
