Lawrence Ballard is a partner at PriceWaterhouse Coopers, a 'Big four' accounting firm.
As a partner for the 'Big four' accounting firm, his core responsibilities are managing his clients and staff members. Currently, he has 19 personal clients and supervises about 80 staff members.
Ballard also takes on recruitment efforts for the company, typically spending two to three hours a month working with the lead recruiting manager to coordinate events at his alma mater, Howard University. He helps with fundraising, community events, and faculty events. In the spring and fall, he even goes on campus to conduct interviews.
