    Professional Relationships are SO important.

    Posted: 07 Jan 2019 05:57 PM PST

    Just landed an AMAZING new job thanks to a professional contact, a former boss had reached out to me and asked if I'd be interested in applying. I've been working in private industry since 2014 (straight out of college) and hated the current job I'm at. It's a steady 9-5 but there is no room for growth, it's dull and I was beginning to dread going in after only a few months of employment. The new job offered me a 30% increase on my salary with PLENTY of room for growth, better & cheaper health benefit packages, a better work environment, and the ability to work from home once a week. I wish I had understood the gravity a good professional relationship can have on your career earlier. Take advantage and market yourself!

    IRS Confirms Tax Filing Season to Begin January 28

    Posted: 07 Jan 2019 08:15 PM PST

    I got a job!!

    Posted: 07 Jan 2019 07:28 AM PST

    I've been waiting so long to be able to make this post. After 2 Meet & Greets, 3 rounds of speed-dating type group interviews, an on-campus interview, and an interview day at HQ consisting of 2 more interviews, I FINALLY got a job offer with the F100 company I have been wanting to go to!

    I had 1 internship in healthcare earlier this year and then got suckered into a federal government internship. I've been with the federal agency for about 2 months and it has been dreadful. I've never been so bored in my life. 90% of days have just been me pulling up an excel sheet and SQL on my computer and then being on my phone the entire 8 hours of the day.

    Plus, this specific agency has hardly any of the government perks I have heard so much about! We have to come in on the 1st of each month no matter what day it is, because our reporting system can't even specify what dates to run reports. Also, no telework at all.

    However, my new job offered me a full time position starting after I graduate in May. I'll be making over 10% more than all my classmates going public. Then they called to offer me a part-time position in the same department I'm going into, starting at the end of this month!

    I am so excited and I am incredibly blessed. Thank you to everyone in this subreddit for the advice over the years and keeping me sane.

    Am I completely out of line for wanting separate phones?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2019 05:46 PM PST

    Sup accounting killas,

    My firm wants me to use my personal phone for work. From what I know, everyone at the office does the same. I feel uncomfortable doing that. I have no issue with paying for a work phone and I don't mind if I come off like a diva/lazy/paranoid. It just seems like a much bigger risk if I lost my phone and it has work information on it.

    If you have seen this situation before, let me know what happened and if this is a terrible idea or something I'm overthinking.

    Industry accounting, I feel I am not learning anything...

    Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:56 PM PST

    Basically, I do AP,AR/Bank reconc/Tax/quaterly journal entry (prepaid, accrual, amortization, debt then I analyze the P&L to justify any major variation or answer the direction/controller questions.

    Then rince and repeat quaterly.

    I mean I feel anyone could do my job...its basically data entry and justifying why I put this here and there... I feel I could teach my job to a teenager and we would do the same job as me after 2-3years... I also feel that my knowledge is only usefull in my company not really transferable to an other company...

    Is this the same everywhere? I don't feel an expert in anything beside data entry/data reporting/being organized... i don't bring any value beside telling where I put stuff basically...I am a cleaning lady who jsut tell people where I've put my stuff and why...i don't feel I add any value at all...

    I have 2 friends in computer science who develops products and automate stuff and bring ALOT OF value to a company and do super high funy project, while I just classify invoice and justify why i've them there...

    Pay cut for a better title and responsibilities?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2019 09:20 PM PST

    I'm currently working as an Audit Project Manager in industry. I don't have any direct reports, and am only expected to lead one to two audits at a time--tasks I did easily when I was a Sr. Auditor at another company--but the comp is solid ($106k + 6.5% target bonus).

    I'm talking to another company about an Audit Manager role where I would have 1 to 3 direct reports and oversee 2 or 3 audits at a time. The comp, however, is lower--the recruiter specified a $95k base with a 12% bonus target, which puts the total comp right at my current base salary.

    Have any of you taken a pay cut for a "better" role? How did that work out for you?

    --

    ETA: It's worth noting that I just started in my current role two months ago, so a promotion is probably a year or two away. Also, I've already decided it isn't a fit, so I'm definitely looking to leave; I just don't want to be rash.

    AAT to Chartered

    Posted: 07 Jan 2019 05:36 PM PST

    Hi there, I am from the UK and contemplating changing to a career in accounting

    I haven't a degree and as of yet, no previous experience,

    I am wondering if anyone here has become chartered without a degree (in any subject)? Also, within this, has anybody got a chartered training role (ACA, CIMA, etc) off the back of completing AAT?

    I appreciate it's competitive, but unrelated education I don't see as anything more than a way to streamline the application process.

    Thanks in advance!

    5% of all CPAs work at Deloitte?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2019 01:31 PM PST

    I've looked at Accounting Today's Top 100 Firms Publication, and it says around 68,000 professionals work at Deloitte (this is US professionals only). I've heard that there are only around 660,000 CPAs in the entire United States, so to read that around 10% of CPAs work at Deloitte is a bit much. Even if we take into account some of the 68,000 are not CPAs (being Associates who have not yet earned their CPAs or other professionals like lawyers with JDs), at least half of the 68,000 have to be CPAs. So, does anyone have any idea of something I might be forgetting, or do around 5% of all U.S. CPAs work at Deloitte?
