| Posted: 30 May 2018 03:36 PM PDT So I need to rant to my fellow accountant peeps. Was just having a casual chat with one of my directors, and she proudly told me her son has gotten a job with the ATO (our version of the IRS) as a graduate. Then she starts bragging about how much he gets paid- and it turns out its more than I do with 5 years experience, and having achieved my Chartered Accountant qualification (our peak body). The entire time shes telling me this I'm thinking "You know what I get paid, why on earth are you telling me this???!!!??" Not happy. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Officially landed a big four job with almost zero experience and a 3.0 GPA! There's hope everybody. Posted: 30 May 2018 02:36 AM PDT Just network your absolute ass off. This happened about a month ago and I'm still so excited! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 30 May 2018 09:24 PM PDT A friend just graduated with a degree in accounting & I'm clueless as to what to get her for a graduation gift. She's starting the process to be a CPA & is like to get something that she would use. Tell me what you'd enjoy! Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 30 May 2018 05:45 PM PDT I am in an construction industry internship program, and was wondering if any of you guys had any advice specifically on making most out of my time in it. I have been learning for now these past 2 weeks on how inventory/materials work, but I feel like sometimes I should be asking more questions. Not going to lie, it is a good amount of work they give me, and I have learned, but sometimes I feel as if I am not doing enough. What are some tips or advice you guys can give me? Thanks!

| Curious about the Florida Landscape Posted: 30 May 2018 07:51 PM PDT I was wondering if any of you had insight into what the Public Accounting industry is like in Tampa? There are a few opportunities presenting themselves at the moment and I'd like a little more feedback from the folks who work in the area. I'm going into Tax fwiw. Who seems to the be the front runner/trending in the right direction in terms of national firms that focus on the middle market? How about the Big4? I appreciate the feedback! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Which MS/MACC program? (Texas schools) Posted: 30 May 2018 05:01 PM PDT Only going to graduate school for CPA exam and I need 30 credit hours. But I can't decide what's most important when comparing graduate programs. My goal has always been Big 4, but would be happy in industry. However, corporate and large firm recruiting is still very important to me. Here's my background in case that influences your decision. I have my BBA in accounting, 3.8 GPA, and 3 accounting internships with heavy experience in tax. Would have applied to better schools but scored horribly on GMAT and didn't want to throw money at prep classes. Also this is completely being financed independently by loans and a maybe 5k in grants. TLDR Are recruitment and ideal school location worth it for more than double the program cost? UT Dallas: MS 36 hours (1.5-2 yr completion), 36k+, all the Big 4 & corporate recruiters, where I want to live, harder program TAMU-CC: MACC 30 hours (accelerated, 1 year) 14k+, small town, zero recruiting presence, easier classes (greater chance of high gpa) What do y'all think?

| Anyone leave the office environment entirely? Posted: 30 May 2018 01:09 PM PDT I think I'm going to go nuts sitting at a desk in the same building five days a week, every week, for the next 40+ years. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Has anyone taken advantage of their company's secondment program? How was your experience? Posted: 30 May 2018 11:15 AM PDT All insights are appreciated! Some things that might be of interest: -Where did you go? -How long were you there for? -How was it like coming back? -Did it help you in your career development? -Would you recommend it to others? -Any other insights Thanks!

| Trying to figure out production overhead cost Posted: 30 May 2018 10:13 PM PDT First time here and was wondering on how I get to total production overhead cost in the question (pic 1) that I have linked. I even have the answer here too (pic 2) but it does not show me the calculations and I can't figure it out. Using the absorption costing method I need to figure out how to get to the total production overhead cost figure of £1,825,000 (top line of pic 2) using a labour based overhead cost allocation. I hope I provided enough info and not broken any rules. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 30 May 2018 10:06 PM PDT It's just me asking about 5-8 questions about being an accountant. Thank you [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 30 May 2018 09:56 PM PDT Basically title. At the end of a 3 month internship as a soon-to-be-grad. I've already signed a competing offer and will not be staying at my current internship. My current internship ends in a week and I have not been given a return offer yet (although verbally "promised"). Regardless, they have been scheduling me for past this date and speak as if I am going to accept. What do? [link] [comments]  | ||
| What do you think of this exam question from my Managerial Accounting course? Posted: 30 May 2018 09:32 PM PDT This is basically an intro to managerial. The most basic or beginner accounting course offered is financial, and this one immediately proceeds it. This is a question off our exam, the concepts we have covered so far are:
This is a double-time, partially online course offered at a reputable university in the US. What do you think of this question? Just curious for feedback. I don't plan on presenting a case to the professor or anything like that, just wondering how others would answer and why... partially out of curiosity and partially to help myself understand as I got this question wrong and the professor couldn't explain it in a way that made sense to me.

| To be accountant or not to be accountant.... that is the question Posted: 30 May 2018 06:41 AM PDT So I'm 25 I haven't been to college yet but I was in the Navy right of high school and now that I've done my time drum roll I have..... THE POST 9/11 GI BILL. I can go to school for whatever I want for FREE for 36 months. My parents want me to be a nurse. I was a Corpsman (Nurse's bitch) for my whole time in the Navy. I had a small taste of what it's like. For some reason the Accounting career seems to draw me in. I don't know why exactly. Maybe because I don't do well in chaos or I just don't like juggling people's lives in my hands anymore. A desk job with the same rules and no blood with a predictable schedule seems nice. But money. I have a two year old daughter and husband who is still in the Navy. I want to make good money for my family which makes me happy but everyone keeps telling me accounting is going to ruin my chances of being happy because it's not as prestigious or well paying as Nursing. Along with "Don"t bother with a university just find a trade school blah blah blah" Those people aren't accountants. I want to hear what REAL ACCOUNTANTS think. Are you happy? Are you comfortable? Do you regret anything? Are you stressed beyond belief, perhaps more than a nurse? I'm so curious. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Anyone get their CPA experience requirement without working in public? Posted: 30 May 2018 09:13 PM PDT Gonna start new position soon and found out one of the management has an active CPA license. I am just wondering how if any of you guys managed to get the experience requirement (Cali) and the 500 audit hours. Do the audits have to be from a CPA firm or can it be audits be with the oversight of a CPA? The company I am gonna work for does audits but don't know if the audits count towards the requirement.

| [CAN] Why is it all about experience when it comes to salaries? Posted: 30 May 2018 05:07 PM PDT I work at a big, publicly traded Canadian corporation, and I am a newly designated CPA with 2-3 years of experience and a "Senior Analyst" title. I was hired into this role not too long ago; I was previously an "Analyst" at another big publicly traded Canadian corporation. Today I came across a list of salaries of all employees working at my company. I looked up the salaries of my coworkers (and some former ones - what I was looking at showed full pay for 2017). Here's some interesting insights: -There are some admin staff who make more than some senior analysts -I was hired to replace someone who my boss fired due to poor performance. I found out that she was making 15k/year more than me! Since I started at my job, I've been going through some of her past work (and sorting through her mess). She honestly did not seem that good to me. Yet I think she had more experience than me. -I'm a Senior Analyst, and there's a Junior Analyst in my department who's making the same as me! She has fewer credentials than me, but she's been at the company for a long time (9 years). She told me that she's at the highest end of the pay scale for her level though, and that HR is giving her a hard time with giving her any further raises. Still, it annoys me she's making the same. And her work is not the best (in my opinion - I've gone through her working papers). -There's a number of non-senior financial analysts (not in my area, but with fewer qualifications) who make more than me. -There's a Senior Financial Analyst with an MBA from a pretty good school who's making the same amount as most Financial Analysts with only an undergrad degree. He has 2 years of experience. It really seems like it all comes down to number of years of experience, and not the quality of the candidate's work or educational background. Why is this the case? Somebody who's worked a long time in a field isn't necessarily better than somebody who's worked fewer years in that field. How is this fair? Doesn't it lower people's incentive to work hard? How is one able to overcome this "unfairness" and actually get paid based on quality of work or education? Before I found this salary list, I talked to HR about salaries. They pretty much alluded to the same thing - that at my company, salaries are set based primarily on number of years of experience. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Question for someone considering transitioning to acct/audit Posted: 30 May 2018 08:49 PM PDT Career (currently) military officer here looking for some advice on going into accounting/audit. Data scientist (operations research analyst) by trade. I am considering within next three to four years transitioning to the private sector and pursuing a career in some sort of consulting or business. Serving in the military has thus far been an honor and a rewarding experience but working in acquisition is just plain and simple full of bureaucracy and red tape. A lot of hurry up and wait and fly by seat of pants decision making. If you're the type you wants to be a catalyst for change, you never feel like you have the resources in-house to get the small (but important) projects done because our acquisition system is designed, by law, to force contracting it out. Minimal government personnel, max contractor support. And when you're yanked from, place to place, job to job year to year, it's hard to find that niche of technical expertise you can use to further your career after taking off the uniform unless you plan to go work for the MIC (military industrial complex) major defense companies doing project management work. The services value breadth as opposed to depth. I never thought to pursue accounting as an undergrad b/c quite frankly there was very little to offer in terms of coursework and the closest major (management) only had basics. The Air Force almost discourages acquisition officers from taking accounting coursework as those classes are not sufficient for technical career fields (besides comptroller/finance) and even those careers don't really have much accounting going on, they're still more along the lines of appropriations and processing entitlements/payments. I have a feeling it's something with the way the DoD and Federal Government practice accounting, zero based budgeting, is very different than the private sector. I thought I would get more number crunching and analytical experience with operations research (which is more forward looking/predicting vs. accounting which I hear is more about looking backwards at numbers). Back to my story, I was picked up to go get a Masters of Science in Operations Research (think big data, analytics), and will incur a 3 year service commitment afterwards. This puts me at approximately 8 years service (age 31) when I could transition to do something in on the outside. 1)Can someone explain to me what are the different business sectors at the big four (I've heard tax, advisory, audit) thrown around. Are there others? (IT consulting, strategy, decision analysis, optimization, analytics…)? 2)What (would you say) are growing areas or sectors of consulting? 3) Where would be a good area of consulting to support the federal workforce and the military? I would like to somehow to support the government and the service through this line of work, though not required. 4)For someone with a technical masters, is a CPA or CFA a good idea? What about an MBA? I like working with people, helping them with their financial needs and I can do math. I enjoy doing my taxes (when I can figure out what the IR code actually means… ). I'd be very appreciative to hear your honest feedback. Maybe I could try my hand at consulting and be successful, maybe I'd be better suited in another career. Be brutally honest with me. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 30 May 2018 08:35 PM PDT I am just about to start my junior year at Texas State University so its getting around the time I know I am going to finally start applying to firms for internships and stuff like that and honestly its freaking me out a little. It feels as if there is so much to do and it was so easy to plan all of this out before but now that I am so close to actually applying its giving me huge bouts of anxiety. These thoughts usually come along paired with the fear of not getting an internship or job offer and feeling like a failure. Is there anything that any students here would recommend to help coping with all of this anxiety? [link] [comments]  |
