| Just came back from my first networking event. It was a pretty terrible experience. Posted: 22 Nov 2018 08:26 PM PST So I posted a thread a few hours ago asking if I should go to this networking event as a first year. Well I mustered up some courage and went. Now I have some serious doubt on whether or not I will succeed in this career. The whole event was very overwhelming. I am not someone who is naturally a smooth talker. I had so many times where I felt like I was appearing as very awkward. I blanked out a few times and the conversation went silent. I couldn't think of any question to ask when it was my turn to ask. Also, everything felt just... uncomfortable. Lining up to talk to firms, not being sure where to be, etc. Also, the fact that I could barely hear people and myself because everything was so loud made it impossible for me to actually be engaged in a conversation. I felt like I was just an observer even when I was talking to firm reps. Thankfully, I only spoke to small firms from other cities and private companies that aren't really in my interest. So I don't have to worry about the bad impressions I made. But still. Now I am worried. Now I know why people say networking>everything else. And I am honestly having doubts on whether or not I will be able to secure a job through networking. With the way I networked tonight, I probably wont be accepted to big 4 janitor positions. How does one improve? [link] [comments]  | ||
| [Advice] B4 IT Risk Advisory - First year, trying to move to a new city Posted: 22 Nov 2018 10:05 PM PST Hello everyone, I'm a first year in B4 IT Risk Advisory, as an MIS major, and I was wondering how likely it would be for me to request to be transferred to an office in a city successfully? The city I'm currently in is where I grew up, in the Midwest, and long story short, I'm finding I'm having a great deal of issues with my mental health. Currently living with my parents and was planning to move to a new city after a few years of saving money, which is why I haven't moved already, but I'm having a lot of issues attributed to people around me at home, and in my social circle, and it's getting bad enough that I am starting to want to move sooner than previously anticipated. I've been working for about 6 months so far, and I'm wondering how likely a transfer to a bigger office in a bigger city would be able to happen for me. Thanks for any advice in advance, hopefully people have been in similar positions. Just desperate to get a fresh start somewhere else and leave things behind here. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Senior Manager Salary? Is it worth staying? Posted: 22 Nov 2018 07:46 PM PST How much do Senior Managers make in Risk or Assurance in Chicago? I'm trying to comprehend the jump from Senior Manager to Partner. Is the salary jump significant to a Partner 1? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 10:58 AM PST Does anyone in here do anything to earn extra income on the side relevant to your skill set? I'm currently looking for something to bring in extra money. I'm 26, single, have my CPA, put in 3 years in B4 audit and now work at a retirement planning company making around $80k. Have a house with two roommates covering mortgage taxes insurance. But looking for something more i can leverage my skill set to earn another 20k or so per year Interested in any ideas [link] [comments]  | ||
| Please advice: Staff takes absolutely zero initiative on any work Posted: 22 Nov 2018 04:28 AM PST I work in one of the big 4. My engagement team consist of two staffs, senior, manager, and a senior manager. My manager and senior manager are pretty hands off, so the work is done by me (staff), another staff and my senior. The other staff has a family obligations (picking up kids/ going to school), but the hours she is in the office, she takes absolutely zero initiatives. Me and my senior would work 65+ hours a week, but the staff barely works 40. She even says that one of the things she likes about working at this big 4 is the "great work life balance".. oblivious to her that her "great work life balance" comes at the expense of me and my senior. She comes to work around 10am and leaves around 4pm... My senior is very non-confrontational and never calls her out on it (I guess given that she is a mother). My senior is on vacation this week and my manager gave us few action items. I basically did EVERYTHING and I waited for her to volunteer for something, but that never happened. I don't even know what she does during the time she's suppose to be working. The only way to have her do stuff is to sit down with her (which takes forever since she has no hussle) and go over the line items like we are in grade school. Crazy thing about all of this is that we are both "staff" level. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Finance Leadership Development Program (FLDP) Posted: 22 Nov 2018 01:58 PM PST Anyone here currently employed in this type of program? Can someone weigh in the pros and cons of their program as well as list the company they are with ? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Tax Accountants/Specialists that work in [CAN] B4 Posted: 22 Nov 2018 11:51 AM PST Can you comment on what you do day-to-day? (i.e. calculate tax provisions). What does the bulk of your busy season look like and what are your biggest peeves of being in this group? Ideally looking for responses from major cities in [CAN], less personal tax and more corporate big picture. Whether it's for different industries i.e. international, mining, energy, M&A, etc. Thinking of switching from audit. [link] [comments]  | ||
| REG (R4) Corporate Formation - Lecture vs Homework Problems Posted: 22 Nov 2018 10:12 PM PST A week out from REG, which is my last exam and my FAR and AUD expire in Feb/March. Definitely feeling stressed to pass before busy season. Was hoping I could receive some clarification as it seems like I'm not understanding the material or Becker is doing a poor job explaining gains the shareholder receives and the basis of the Corporation. Based on what I've read in the chapter, a shareholder (who does not own more than 80% of the corp and receives no boot) recognizes a gain to the lower of the boot received or realizable gain. Also, the corp's basis is the greater of the adjusted basis + recognized gain by the transferor or the debt assumed. However, I'm confused after going through the MC problems where the shareholder is recognizing income on the transfer (FMV>adjusted basis) and the corp's basis is the FMV of property transferred. Sorry for the long post, but I'd really appreciate some help since I'm struggling to fully understand this. [link] [comments]  | ||
| California, graduating December with 136 units Posted: 22 Nov 2018 09:11 PM PST I'm in California, and finishing my undergrad degree in accountancy this December. My question is after earning bachelor's, can I take community college classes for the remaining 14 units? I am thinking of courses like accounting ethics, quickbook, excel. I meet the requirements such as 24 units each in accounting and business courses, and 10 units in ethics. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 08:44 PM PST Hey guys, I am about to go to an internship interview at BDOO so I wanted to ask whether some of you could give me some tips on what to focus mostly for the interview, what kind of questions they ask during the selection process and so on. I appreciate it. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Not getting a promo twice - leave or stay Posted: 22 Nov 2018 04:53 AM PST Hi everyone, I'm debating if I should move on to a new company or stay here. Here are quick descriptions of what I was told:
On one hand I feel like I should stay and improve on the interpersonal skills that they mentioned. Try to joke less, watch what I say etc. Having a good interpersonal skill will improve my career development in a long run. On the other hand, it's hard to change the way people see me. Since my team believes that I am competent to be promoted, should I just leave and get another job in a new company? What would you do? [link] [comments]  | ||

| [CAN]Need advice for switching from industry to public practice Posted: 22 Nov 2018 07:50 AM PST Hi. My background: I have 3 years of experience as a bookkeeper in industry and passed the CFE last year. Right now I'm really passionate about switching over to public practice. I actually took both assurance and tax electives during PEP because I had a feeling this might happen. I understand that without experience I will have to take a pay cut and start as a newbie. I've thought long and hard and am very enthusiastic about everything that public practice offers (yes, including the long hours). I truly believe that this is best for my long term career development and goals. I feel that with my background I should be able to excel (pun intended) at any entry level position at any public practice firm. Ideally, I want to join a firm that's a good fit and that I can be loyal to for at least 3 years while I learn the ropes. The problem is that I want to start working immediately and it doesn't seem like anyone is hiring? Obviously the big firms hire "new grads" well in advance. But I was expecting at least some mid-sized firms would be looking to bring aboard a new recruit in time for busy season. However, after searching various job ad boards and 50+ company websites I only found a handful (~5) of small (<30 employees) firms with positions available. I applied to them all last week and haven't heard back. Not sure what next steps to take besides maybe just sending my resume to every firm in my city (Vancouver) regardless if they have positions open or not and hope for the best? Any advice is appreciated, including but not limited to any advice about finding a job today in public without exp, any advice on switching from industry to public and any general advice on anything.... Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 06:20 AM PST So I'm a CPA that works with e-commerce clients. I was recently made aware of this and I have found zero support for it. The guy on the podcast basically states that inventory can now be expensed in the year purchased. Is that right or did I miss something?? Tl:dr inventory can be expenses in the year purchased. True or false? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Should I go to this networking event? Posted: 22 Nov 2018 12:50 PM PST I am a first year and I signed up for an industry networking event happening tomorrow. I know I am not eligible for internships yet but I thought I would go just to see what networking is like. But I am having second thoughts. The first reason is that I feel super under prepared. I have no idea what I am going to say when talking to recruiters. I just made my linkedin page yesterday and it doesn't have a photo or anything. So even if I make "connections" in the event, they will all just forget me a week later. The second reason is that I feel nervous. The third reason is that I feel lazy. Should I go? Will I even get anything out of it? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Pursuing a career in Accounting with a relative Criminal Record - questions. Posted: 22 Nov 2018 10:28 AM PST First off, I'm Australian, but any advice from any Region is gladly welcome, as I've come to a crux point as to whether I should pursue this career or not. I have perused the subreddit but found no information truly relevant to my case. I'm 25, at the age of 20 I was charged with Aggravated Burglary (no weapons, just people home), due to being in an incredibly inebriated state (not pre-meditated nor in regular character). I was given a suspended sentence (1 year good behaviour bond and 10 year "unspent record") due to the circumstances. I've been reading extensively about my conviction being related to theft and; the policies of firms and screening processes. A lot of suggestions seem to be based on discretion but others seem to tell that my offence being related to money and Accounting being all about money, that this will heavily impact, even impede my ability to acquire a job in the industry. This being the case because some organisations have the authority to review records after they have been spent (passed the 10 year mark) due to the relevance to the nature of work. I know it's not fraud, but it's something. No need for advice about other career choices, hunches you may have or convictions unrelated to money and security. I know thus far that I absolutely should be honest with my case whenever applicable, but that's about all I have in relation to making this work. So my questions are: - How difficult will it be to acquire internship and what can I do to better my chances? - If you work in the industry, how likely is it that the record, even if spent, will affect my chances at a job? (Please state type and size of organisation if willing) - Will any and all extra effort to make this career choice a reality really help in the end? - What specific pathways and career choices within the industry will make this ambition somewhat easier? My main concern is wasting my time studying and having to spend far too much energy for very little gain in the industry. I'm willing to go far, but I obviously have a limit. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 22 Nov 2018 04:36 AM PST Aside from the usual "It's accrual world", are there any other (cheesy) puns you guys can think of? I was having a class on consolidation and I thought of one: "Hey girl, do you want to consolidate in bed tonight? I can be your parent and you can be my subsidiary." Perhaps it's not the best - but you get the idea! [link] [comments]  |
