| My respect for the difficulty of accounting. Posted: 29 Jan 2018 11:53 AM PST I would just like to send some praise and admiration to all the accountants out there. I took accounting 1 at my college thinking it would be an easy elective for my associates degree in paralegal studies. Man that was really one of the most challenging classes I've completed(barely) since I've been in school. I just wanted to give a shout out to all of you who make this system work and do it well everyday. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Auditors woes (please help on the verge of breakdown) Posted: 29 Jan 2018 06:29 PM PST I am 25F, working in a Mid Tier audit firm in a tiny country located in South East Asia region. My colleagues love coming late (on the excuse that they worked late last night) and leaving late. Most of them are foreigners so they don't have families here. Or those who are locals try to stay late but all they do is play mobile legends or go into meeting rooms to talk and laugh. We can claim $7 daily OT meal after working to 10-10.30 (hence its lucrative) I am not a night person, I function best in the morning and I do not like to work late unnecessarily in the pretext of 'hardworking'. I'm for for efficiency. If I get it done, I check, I leave, wait for review and clear ASAP. However my 'seniors' (I'm A2, they are A3) are threatening me that if I don't OT, I'm not a team player and my appraisal will be affected and I'll not be liked in the firm. Also, my work speed tend to be fast. So if I OT, I'll be assigned their work, which is really unfair to me (I know the world ain't fair but this is just plain rewarding inefficiency). Leaving is not an option cause I'm on scholarship (scholarshit) bond with the firm with 1 year 9months more. Also, the firm doesn't encourage professional studies since it'll mean we cannot OT as much, and it'll affect our work... I'm planning to take CA but they seem to refuse to give us the training letter. I need some hard knocks or whatever to tell me that audit is like this suck it up, or some assertiveness tips that I could use without jeopardizing my career. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Dear recruiters, I'm sorry your job sucks... Posted: 29 Jan 2018 07:27 AM PST We're trying to hire another GL accountant for our office. My boss called me up and said "Hey allbeefpatties, do you think you could reach out and find some candidates?". I mean, how hard can it be to search LinkedIn? Recruiters do it all day and somehow that works out. I've been through 40 candidates. 3 responses. 2 interviews. 1 hire. And the hire isn't for the position we NEED to fill. I reached out to friends/family on Facebook. I've done posts on LinkedIn. I might just fire up a MySpace account at this rate. It would be one thing if people responded and said "Thanks for thinking of me, but I'm good." And I know what you're thinking. Why don't we just use a real recruiter? 'Cause our CEO doesn't think it's dollars well spent for what we get. TL;DR - I have grossly underestimated how hard it is to recruit. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What are you busy season hours? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 07:56 PM PST Out of curiosity: 1) what are your typical hours during audit busy season? 2) What period do these hours cover? 3) What level are you? 4) What type of company are you at? Ex: Staff 1, mid-sized firm, 60 hours per week during February- mid March [link] [comments]  | ||

| How difficult is it to get into TAS from undergrad? Also how does it compare to IB and Consulting? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 08:42 PM PST How difficult is it actually to get into a Big 4 TS/TAS group straight from college? I'm at a top 20 non Ivy undergrad. Would you say that the difficulty is comparable to recruiting for IB and Consulting? I'm interested in TAS, but if it's equally as hard as IB and Consulting recruiting, I might as well go for the latter two since pay and prestige is higher. Is Big 4 TAS relatively close to IB and Consulting in terms of prestige, exit ops, MBA prospects, salary, intellectual stimulation, and overall happiness? What about any of the other service lines? Also would you say that they have completely different recruiting pools? The IB recruiting pool is basically Ivy and top targets. What's the profile of Big4 recruits? I have seen people a wide range from random state schools to NYU Stern. I definitely don't think that I'm "too good" for big 4, but the environment I'm in makes me feel like I'm being "lazy" or underachieving since most people at my school are trying to get into IB and consulting. I know to each his own and I want to carve my own path, but if I'm at a top 20 semi target, should I at least try to go for IB or consulting even if I'm not a top student at my school?

| Posted: 29 Jan 2018 06:16 PM PST I know this role is a goal for a lot of you but just a warning that it's a thankless, hamster wheel of a role where you'll be at the beckon call of all sorts of stakeholders. Sure, there are the diamond in the rough roles, but I hear FP&A constantly glorified...it's nothing great. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Those with Accounting degrees and unrelated jobs Posted: 29 Jan 2018 08:07 AM PST I'm curious to see what everyone is doing--those who went to school for accounting but ended up not working in accounting. Personally, I chose to go into Data Analytics and Risk while working towards my CPA and I actually find that the analytics knowledge is beneficial and will be applicable in a number of other settings. I chose to deviate from the majority of my "traditional" accounting peers. Anyone else? edit: I graduated < 1 year ago [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is it possible to still struggle with a job search as a CPA? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 12:38 PM PST I recently got a B.S. in Accounting and I haven't had much luck searching for a better job this past year. I'm currently working as an accounting clerk and beginning to work on becoming a CPA soon. I was just curious if anyone has had a hard time finding a job as a CPA or after passing sections and looking to get their 1 year of experience with a CPA? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 29 Jan 2018 06:13 PM PST I am fixing to chg my job and wanted to know if this is a mistake. My 1st job out of college I stayed for 7 years, my 2nd & 3rd was for 8 months each, my 4th job I been in it for a year and 1 month. Fixing to leave my current 4th job for a new opportunity. I am in a accounting field. My 2nd & 3rd job was not challenging with alot of downtime. My 4th job is more account management then accounting which was not told to me before I took my 4th jobs. Should I stick with my 4th job longer before switching? I am just afraid my employment history will looks really bad if I decide to change jobs in the future. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Start my first day as a Recon Specialist Tm Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:41 PM PST So I landed a job at one of the big investment banks. I'll be doing reconciliation for cash and derivatives using TLM and RMS....If anybody has any tips for me I'd greatly appreciate it. [link] [comments]  | ||
| client site vs working from office vs from home Posted: 29 Jan 2018 05:32 PM PST how many days are you at the client site vs. the office vs. home? Non busy season and busy season. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Will firm see my CPA section scores when I send them my proof of passing? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:07 PM PST I passed FAR after my second try with a 76. However, my first try I got a low score in the 50s. Once I pass the rest of the sections, I need to send confirmation that I passed. It would suck if they saw my low scoring attempt... Does anyone know, when I send my proof of passing, whether or not the scores show? Or will it only show that I passed without showing the scores? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to account got revenue generated from subleasing part of our office space? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 05:20 PM PST We are a SaaS company- no way related to real estate, and are about to sublease part of our office space. Lets say for round numbers, our rent is 30k and we are going to sublease 8k of that to another company. Do we record this as "other revenue" when it comes to our P&L or do we apply that to a credit of our rent expense? I understand there are tax implications and want to make sure we are doing the right thing in respect to GAAP. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What does it take to start your own accounting practice? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 12:12 PM PST Hi everyone, I've recently found myself wondering what practical steps would be needed for someone to open up their own accounting firm. I work as a Big 4 auditor and will be receiving my CPA license in a month or 2 (board willing). I've been with my company for about 2 years. The idea of opening my own accounting practice has always been appealing to me. I am guessing that providing tax filing services would be the most lucrative service to provide. Obviously, my work as an auditor has taught me nothing about taxes. My question is: What steps would one hypothetically take to gain the necessary udnerstanding skills needed to open a tax practice? Is this something that will require 5 years working for someone else's tax practice? Are there resources online? I am very new to this clearly but would really appreciate being pointed in the right direction! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is anyone familiar with the salary for people coming right out of college in the Northeast??? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 02:55 PM PST I'm currently a junior, just wondering what the pay rate is for new college graduates. I am currently in central New Jersey area if that helps at all.

| Hiring during non-hiring season? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 08:50 PM PST How do people find jobs at places like B4 or other big PA firms when it is not hiring season? I am networking a good amount and looking at Indeed, but nothing seems to be coming up. Anyone have any advice?? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Please help me with summer leadership and relocation advice Posted: 29 Jan 2018 08:44 PM PST I've applied to summer leadership positions at every big and mid-size firm in my current city. I'm planning to move across the country after school. Should I tell the recruiters that right now or should I do the summer leaderships where I'm at right now and then tell them I changed my location preference in the fall when it comes time for internships? I would kind of be deceiving them, but it might be what's best for me. Would they even pay for flight and hotel at my dream city anyways? I'm not sure what to do and would appreciate any advice.

| Posted: 29 Jan 2018 11:55 AM PST Hi guys, I need some advice on which first step to take towards becoming fully ACA qualified. From what I have searched the first few levels of AAT mean you dont have to do the first of ACA, but you don't need to do AAT to do ACA etc. I'm wondering what the cheapest and quickest (I am ofcourse aware it will take many years regardless) way (I'll be paying myself as a teenager on low income) is to become fully chartered. I have applied for a lot of the big firms in the UK like EY, despite passing all necessary tests and being told I have made it through I have then been cancelled on as they fill the positions (because it's who you know in the company). I don't necessarily need to do the most well advised way to get the best understanding as I am a very quick learner and good with numbers. Tldr; Quickest/cheapest way to become fully chartered starting from nothing. [link] [comments]  |
