| What is involved in the monthly/quarterly/yearly close in financial reporting? Posted: 07 Jan 2018 02:18 PM PST Hello, I'm relatively new to public accounting and want to get a better understanding of the other side. So, in industry, at the end of the month or quarter or year, you have to close out and finalize the books for that period, yes? What's involved in this? What kind of things are you doing? Why does it sometimes take so long? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Thinking about going to school for accounting. Thoughts? Posted: 07 Jan 2018 09:43 AM PST I'm 22 and I'm thinking about going back to school to get my associates in accounting. I'm working full time and won't be able to do full time school. I'll probably be able to do about one or two classes a semester. I went to community college for a couple of semesters when I was 18 and 19 but quit because I didn't have the motivation. Now I want to go back to school and have been thinking about accounting because I feel like there are always jobs available. Anyway, I'd like your thoughts on if it's worth it in the long run, how much you make on average, and if I'll want to kill myself in a few years from shear boredom. Also any other thoughts you have on the subject. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Advice: New graduate finding it difficult getting a job, no relevant experience and 3.4GPA Posted: 07 Jan 2018 12:56 PM PST Hello, I'm a new graduate from Toronto and have had a bad time getting a staff accountant position. I have over 5 years customer service experience and tutoring experience within the university. Unforutantely, I did not do any networking. I recently accepted a temp role , but would like to transition to an accounting based role. What advice would you provide? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 07 Jan 2018 06:52 PM PST I'm about to graduate in May with all 150 hours and I currently have a 3.6 gpa. I know my social skills are pretty much shit but I'm working on them. I've applied to a number of job postings across the country. My only experience is an internship doing credit analysis for banks. I'm just wondering what the chances are I'll be able to land a decent first job? As a first generation Mexican-American I'm just really excited about being the first person in my family to earn a college degree and looking forward to what life brings my way. I appreciate any tips or advice y'all can give me. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 07 Jan 2018 08:30 PM PST Hello all! I hope everyone is doing well this evening. :) I need to get this off my chest and would like some advice. I'm 23 years old and currently working the healthcare industry in the AP department that pays 40k/yr, and I feel like I'm going nowhere. The work is a lot of data entry. I'm not using anything I learned in school, and the work doesn't challenge me enough. I feel like I'm losing brain cells at this point. To push my career forward, I'm currently trying to pass my CPA. I have the 150 hours, and I've been meaning to get a CPA exam review and finally decided on Roger. I haven't passed any parts yet, but I plan on taking FAR in February. Once I pass the CPA, I would like to try working for the B4. A couple of issues that I'm running into are that I haven't had the opportunity to network with anybody in the B4 except a partner that my dad introduced me to. I talked to him about 3 years ago and haven't spoke with him since (I'm an idiot. I know). Should I reach out him after I pass my CPA or is it a lost cause? I would also like to network more to open myself to more opportunities, but just don't know where to look. What are some effective ways I can network? I also found out this weekend that my wife is pregnant. Now the big question is should I still try to go for the B4 and possibly get a job/the experience that'll allow me to support my family, but not be around for huge parts at a time, or go for a something else to be around my family more? My head is going through so many things at once, and I'm not sure on what to do. Thanks for reading and giving me your time and advice. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Have an internship at private company, feel the work is very boring. Advice? Posted: 07 Jan 2018 07:41 PM PST I'm a finance major hoping to work in investment banking or as an analyst. Managed to get a accounting internship. I do monthly account recs ranging from cash, prepaid accruals, bonuses, benefits, etc. (about 20?) Along with various journal entries (30-40 a month) and a couple other monthly reoccurring tasks. I feel fortunate to have this position at a respectable company but it feels so mundane and boring. I'll have to take a few more accounting classes so I'm trying to see the "excitement" in this role to feel motivated. Am I looking at this wrong? I understand as an intern I can expect "grunt" work but can someone with experience maybe help give me a positive POV? Thank you. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Just starting my accounting degree Posted: 07 Jan 2018 03:45 PM PST Hi everyone! I have some questions about the accounting profession. So for some background I'm currently enrolled in community college and have just started college so this Monday will be the start of my second college semester. I'm planning on working over the summer time and then going back for the fall and winter/spring semesters. After that I'm planning on transferring to a 4 year college. I am right now taking the classes that the 4 year college has planned out that would put me on the right path to get my degree and would give me a bit of a heads start when I get there. I'm currently trying to become a CPA. Alright enough of the backstory ( if it's to vague just let me know and I can go deeper in depth). So here are some of my questions: How long does it usually take in order to get my degree and become a CPA? Are their internships that I could possibly get? Whether it be paid or unpaid. Currently hate my part time job that I'm already doing that will turn to full time in the summer. ( this is my biggest question) How much debt will I end up being in at the end of my time in college if I follow the same path that I am right now? What are the kind of math classes that I need to take? Is it advanced math or a lower level? What is the biggest difference between being a CPA and not being one? And lastly does it matter if the college I go to is known to be a good or bad college when it comes to the job field? That should be the last questions that I have. If there is anymore that I can come up with later on I'll add it on later. Sorry if this post is super long. Thanks for the help and have a great rest of your day and week! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Transferring Big4 offices (international tax) Posted: 07 Jan 2018 01:10 PM PST There have been plenty of audit/BTS threads, but I havent seen any international tax transfer threads. So basically, wanted to see if anyone had experience in how easy it is. I've been at big4 6 months - came in out of law school. For personal and professional reasons, I want to transfer to SF. Anyone have insights on best way to do so within the next 9 months. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to go from Technology/IT to Accounting/Finance? Posted: 07 Jan 2018 06:23 PM PST Currently a student in university pursuing a Bachelors in Business Administration and Mathematics. I have completed two co-op internships in the IT/Technology sectors (business analysts) at two well known banks in Canada in the past. However, the skills I've gotten from these positions amounts to some finance knowledge, but mostly handling testing and test case writing (back office processes supporting middle office and traders). I'd really like to try getting into finance and trying it out, but I'm having trouble trying to tailor my skills to be worthy of getting a co-op/internship for an accounting or finance focused job since i haven't done anything directly related with accounting on a professional level. Anyone ever have technology CM experience and use it to break into a finance/accounting career? [link] [comments]  | ||
| [CAN] CPA Tax Elective - Help with Cases Posted: 07 Jan 2018 05:13 PM PST What is the best way to approach the cases in the tax elective? I am trying to practice by re-writing the Practice Cases but I never know how to approach these cases since the technical requirement seems so heavy. Would someone be able to provide some insight? I really want to improve on writing these cases. I'm trying to do Week 1 and I forgot how bad this elective was. :/ Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 07 Jan 2018 08:25 AM PST I am interviewing very soon for a seasonal senior tax associate role (presumably through busy season) as I am currently between jobs. I've had a stint in Big Four, local CPA firm, and have spent the last few years in industry. Currently I am favoring switching to the contract/consultant career path as opposed to committing to one company or industry for a permanent position. Does anyone have experience doing this type of work? I left public accounting due to the inflexibility and work load, so it's not the most appealing position to pursue. But overtime pay during tax season may very well add up quickly. Does anyone know what an appropriate hourly wage would be for a senior tax associate in a mid-sized market? I (perhaps foolishly) mentioned to the recruiter over the phone that I'm targeting a contract rate of $35-40/hr, but I haven't really found much data to back those numbers up; does this seem reasonable? Too high? Too low? Are big firms' expectations for contractors in terms of hours held to the same standards as salaried employees (i.e. should I expect them to demand 55-70 hours per week even if they have to pay time-and-a-half)? I've been wavering between picking up a contract and just trying a new permanent role in industry. If anyone has advice on pursuing the consultant career path over permanent employment, I'd greatly appreciate the wisdom. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Tell me about being a government bank examiner Posted: 07 Jan 2018 05:05 PM PST I understand frequent travel is involved. Is a business vehicle provided or are transportation costs are reimbursed? How does it compare with other accounting jobs? Any other pros and cons worth noting? I graduate in December and it seems like these jobs are abundant in my area. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 07 Jan 2018 05:00 PM PST I took the first part of the accounting series at my community college and feel like I know absolutely nothing. I didn't do that well in the class and felt like I didn't know what I was doing. I would ask my professor what I should remember or understand really well for the second class but she said just look in the book. Im nervous because I have three more accounting classes to take and feel like I know nothing. It takes me a long time to do the homework because I always have to refer back to the book. What things should I know by heart? Any tips and tricks that I should know? I really want to do well in accounting but I'm a bit lost and scared for my next two accounting classes this term.

| What should I do with my career? Posted: 07 Jan 2018 05:00 PM PST Hi guys, I graduated from a private college for accounting (they have a good reputation, but really only in my city) with just about a 3.0 GPA. I am extremely smart, great with technology overall, and learn quickly. My GPA was low due to not wanting to go to class as much as I should have and teachers in our program giving out low final grades to 85% of the students. I am however satisfied with the education I got, it was hard and expensive, but I usually know more than someone in a similar situation from a different school. I have a bachelors, not sure If I want to take the CPA, I'm very good at taking tests and studying for them, but not sure if it's possible as I work full time and don't want to give up my social life. I started a job as a staff accountant at a small company in October (took 3 months out of school to find it - didn't look until graduation). I only make 40k, but I only work 40 hours. I could work overtime if I wanted but even during busy weeks I seem to get all my work done just fine in 40 hours. I want to make more money and realize I should use this job for a couple years to build up my resume. There isn't much room for growing at the company as quickly as I would like to. So how long do you guys think I should stay and what kind of jobs I should look for going forward? Is taking the CPA worth it if I never intend on working in public accounting? I would really like to get into consulting as an end game goal. Any advice and tips are greatly appreciated, I'm financially doing fine with what I make but would like to accelerate it over the next 5-10 years of my career. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 07 Jan 2018 04:52 PM PST Hey guys, I'm in a very confused stage right now. I have a BA in accounting, work in AR as an accounting clerk (shitty job) which was very difficult to find because I didn't do any internships. I want to become a CPA and get a better job. I plan on getting a MS degree (considering computer science). How should I prioritize the stuff below? I will be working full time while I do whatever is below.
I have 137 credits. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
