    Being an Accountant At A University

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 02:27 PM PST

    I'm currently a tax staff at a Big 4, and am reconsidering whether or not this line of work is for me. I've been researching jobs and have found numerous postings in my area for accountant positions at different universities. It seems like it would be a manageable and structured job, but I was wondering if anyone could shed more light on what it would be like. Is there any reason why I shouldn't apply?

    Why is Accounting talked about as one of the careers most susceptible to automation, but also as a high-demand, stable career?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 09:48 PM PST

    I have very little accounting knowledge and don't work in the field, but this has always perplexed me.

    Is working long hours because there is just an overabundance of work, or is it because Clients usually send in supporting documents late?

    Econ major with zero tax experience: should I do VITA?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 06:47 PM PST

    Hello! I'm a sophomore economics major who's interested in becoming a VITA first-year tax preparer this year. However, I'm a little worried because I have zero tax filing experience and essentially no tax knowledge at all right now. Do you think I would have to do a lot of additional studying, on top of the existing training program, to be a good VITA volunteer? Should I wait to try to volunteer until I take more tax-related classes? Thanks!

    I have seen some contractor position for Big 4 firms.

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 10:02 PM PST

    I was browsing and saw there were contractor positions for audit in some of the big 4 firm. Are they good to take up just to experience different offices and different work environment? I feel like if someone wants to work with different teams constantly, it would be a good way to jump around.

    Best Ops from Public seems to be: 2 N' Done, F1000 CFO/Contr or Partner.

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 09:32 PM PST

    Was looking at job postings across several sites, and most Controller/CFO pay in Los Angeles is absolutely horrible. Positions that require progressive experience of about 10 years, average around 150-170k. That's director pay at a mid-tier PA firm.

    You might as well jump ship as a senior to get an edge in industry and better hours, or stay in public until you get a F500-1000 controller/CFO offer or become Partner. There doesn't seem to be any worthwhile opportunities available for anything in-between.

    Does your performance on inventories affect your overall performance evaluation?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 05:29 PM PST

    First-year from the green dot here. I was wondering if your performance at inventories is at all ranked by the requester or affects the your standing in the scatterplot? Does the requester give any feedback about your timeliness, quality of work, etc.?

    VBOA doesn't have any record of me passing AUD?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 11:29 AM PST

    So I just recently passed both AUD and BEC. I passed AUD the last testing window and BEC this window. When I got my AUD score, it was 80. When I went to apply for my NTSs for the next sections, my VBOA checklist has me as having passed BEC, but doesn't even list a sitting date or score for AUD. Obviously I did sit and have a record of sitting by Prometric, but I'm worried anything beyond that somehow got lost or something bizarre.

    I wish I printed my score. I emailed NASBA, but I'm worried about having to take AUD again because of some mess up. There's no way I could have misinterpreted the score. Does having to retake seem likely to you guys? Is there some other way to find a record of my score or something?

    My mind is jumping to the worst case scenario right now. I don't want to do AUD again.

    How much did your CPA study materials cost?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 05:16 PM PST

    I'm planning to start studying for the CPA exam soon and I've heard study materials for the CPA can run you $1000+. I've never been one to spend so much on study materials for standardized tests. I remember people used to attend classes dedicated to studying for the SAT/ACT and that was never me. I always went in to the exam barely studying and still doing very well. That being said, I DO plan on studying for the CPA exam but I wanted to know if anyone has gotten by with some basic books or online review/prep questions rather than those the expensive exam study materials like Becker.

    Thanks for the help!

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 11:16 AM PST

    I am having some trouble deciding on which classes to take this spring semester and also deciding how many credit hours would be too much. I am currently using the GI Bill so I am trying to take as many credit as possible so it can pay for some of grad school. Please let me know if you think the following schedule would be doable!

    State college:

    - Business stats

    - Marketing

    - Intro to managerial accounting

    - Law of organizations

    ​

    Community college:

    - Bio and lab

    - Microeconomics

    All together it comes to 19 credit hours. Also, working 16-20 hours per week.

    Which firm is the Audit REIT Leader in So-Cal?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 04:47 PM PST

    I know that Ernest & Young is the global Reit leader, but that doesn't always translate to local market dominance.

    I also would greatly appreciate anecdotes.

    Thanks and Happy Holidays!

    Sorry folks (and sorry if a repost!)... Have a great festive season with your loved ones.

    Auditors: How do custom applications impact your assessment of control and inherent risk? What audit procedures might be employed relating to these systems?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 03:23 PM PST

    I'm about to start offering custom accounting software solutions. I'm starting with exporting the back end data tables from QuickBooks or Sage 50 into a database management application. In the database application, I will design custom forms, queries, reports, and user interfaces. I will then write the data back to the accounting software data file. I plan to code in an audit trail to any database applications.

    ​

    I'm wondering what the audit implications of such a system would be. Would it significantly increase control risk, resulting in a higher audit bill due to more substantive procedures? Would the code itself be audited? Would technical staff be assigned to the audit increasing cost? I've taken the auditing course in uni, and have dealt with many audits during my industry accounting career, but have no knowledge of real world audit planning. Any insight to help me get a better understanding of the total cost of ownership for my clients would be appreciated.

    What would you have done differently when you first began your path to your career? (In college, first job/internships, etc.)

    Posted: 25 Dec 2018 10:20 AM PST

    First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone. This is my first time posting on this sub but I've pretty much creeping in it earlier this year.

    I'm currently in my first year of community college, deciding I want to go into a career in accounting during my high school senior year. My first semester went well. I finished with a B+ in my Financial Accounting class, and next semester I'll be taking managerial.

    I have a basic idea of what I need to do, but most of it comes from Google. I haven't actually spoken to any accountants yet. That's why I'm here. Like the title asks, I want to know what you would have done back when you were in my position. Obviously check out internships—what else? Note, I am going to a community college..so not a lot of opportunities to "network" or whatever..they pretty much only offer chances to intern which I haven't even had a chance to check out yet. Thanks guys.
