    Got a job!

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 05:30 PM PDT

    So, I just received my offer letter for my first accounting position. I wanted to ask a couple of questions and see what input I could get. By way of information it is a job I am incredibly excited about with a local construction company.

    1. What are some pro tips for working as an accountant?
    2. From what I can see online I was offered a median rate, is there a good way to negotiate a higher salary or would it just be best to roll with it?
    3. What do you wish you knew when you first started working as an accountant?

    Any and all input would be great! Thanks in advance.

    Transactions 2 year minimum experience?

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 08:14 PM PDT

    I noticed that every TAS/CMAAS/equivalent job posting notes a 2 year minimum experience requirement.

    Was just curious how strict is this? Do those groups ever hire people after 1 year of audit? Appreciate any insight.

    Got a call today for an interview offer with the IRS. Declined it because I already work another federal job, hope someone else gets it!

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 11:28 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    Hope people are still hanging in there with the IRS job applications! Today I received a call from the IRS regarding the revenue agent position that was posted back in October.

    I applied for the position in Boston. I was given a "C" rating.

    Unfortunately, I had to decline, as I already work for another federal agency, but down in Washington.

    Hope someone else gets the opportunity to interview in Boston! I would have taken this interview if they just got back to me sooner.

    This Job is a Nightmare, but I Kinda Need it?

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 04:50 PM PDT

    There is... so much to unpack with the few months I've been at this job.

    Let me give background first. I'm a CPA and Masters of Accounting graduate of three years. I have never been able to hold down a job for more than a year at a time because... well a variety of reasons. I've dropped the ball on clients that were too complicated to do, I've been reprimanded for taking too much time to do assignments that I've never done or with programs I've never used with no training. Last job, I swear to God, part of why I was fired was lowkey because I wouldn't buy into my boss' essential oil side job that she had gotten the other 3 accountants in the office to get into.

    This job came out of nowhere, turns out it was right down the street, it seemed absolutely perfect. Little did I know, the two locations have been constantly fighting since my location was acquired seven years ago. Office A is very "high-class" (read: elitist, they're so much better than everyone else because they work in the nice part of the city, clients are all extremely wealthy foreigners). Office B is very down to earth, most of our clients are farmers (this area was all farmland until maybe 15 years ago), or small businesses, or elderly couples who know better than to let Shane behind the 7/11 get them the "max refund".

    This was my first tax season with the office (either of them), and it was a complete shitshow. Office A decided that they were going to be more proactive in how Office B runs things so we could "get on the same page"! This included firing the receptionist of 7 years that literally all the clients loved for having a "smart mouth" and offering one day's training to the replacement and then yelling at her whenever she asks what she's supposed to tell clients in X situation (who now also hates this place). This also included overhauling our organization system so that the admins would scan all the paperwork they thought we needed into the system, and keeping the original documents at their desks because "it's easier!! (: " We were also expected to take a 300 page PDF and extract every single page we needed, and then label it and organize it in the computer system. Half of our tax return work involved going to their desks to get the paperwork because the scans were too light, cut off pages, missing pages, etc.

    Less than a month into this, my manager quit. He was supposed to take over for the former partner of Office B, but he couldn't take the partner of Office A constantly harassing him about his time spent. So it's basically myself and the only other accountant in this office doing busy work, an employee of 30+ years that Office A really wants to fire on the sole basis that their personalities clash, but can't, because they can't find people to come work in the area Office B is in. This office used to house FOUR (4) accountants, so we're extremely backlogged between the two of us. On top of everything else, the people at Office A (people who have been there two years vs her 30+) is telling this coworker every five minutes that she's not being a "team player" and reminding her "you're not in charge of this office" every time she points out a contradiction in their instructions or that they have once again failed to tell us of a procedural update.

    So now, the former partner, the retired three-time cancer survivor, has to come out of retirement to take care of his clients, since a lot of them are like, his friends and shit.

    I'm at my wit's end at this place. We have cubicles and not enclosed offices, so I have to hear upset clients yelling at the temp every hour about "I've been coming here for 30 years and we've never done it this way! Why does it take SIX WEEKS to get my stuff done?!" and watching upset clients leave us when we've done everything we could.

    I want to leave, but is any accounting firm really going to take me when my resume shows "1 year, 1 year, 1 year, 6 months" at all my jobs? Is every job just going to get consecutively worse? My mom is constantly pushing me to go to law school instead and become a real estate lawyer, which, I've seen Law School Memes for Edgy L14s, they don't have it that great either! Do I really need that extra $40k of debt to maybe get hired for a year or so? I love the work that I do at this office, but management has made it impossible to want to stay.

    I don't really know where I'm going with this post, but can someone like... advise me?

    Not getting it

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 07:07 PM PDT

    Does anyone else feel like they just aren't getting it?

    I've been at a small firm since July 2018 and my boss says I am "almost there" at completing returns 100% correct. I'm just not getting it. Especially partnership allocations, my boss has explained them so many times to me.... His explanations of things don't make sense either.

    I worked at another small firm for 5 years before this one but half of it was admin and the other half my boss gave no review notes and just fixed my work. I left because I wanted to learn more.

    My current firm offers mostly negative feedback, but I have received a raise since being there... I just feel overwhelmed and like it's not clicking.

    Is this normal? I'm starting to feel like tax accounting just isn't for me. I can't seem to grasp the rules. 😕 I don't know if it's me or if it's just bad training and lack of resources.

    Big 4 Financial Services Tax

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 09:16 PM PDT

    Hello fellow accountants!

    Just wondering what kind of work you can expect as a senior in Financial Services Tax at a Big 4 firm. Did you experience any tax consulting opportunities? What's the bread and butter of this position?

    What are the hours like and when are the busy times?

    What are the exit opportunities like for someone who has previous audit and tax experience?

    Thanks in advance for your insight!

    Hero of Audit

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 05:51 PM PDT

    To the tune of Hero of War by Rise Against

    He said son, have you seen the world?

    Well, what would you say if I said that you could

    Just carry this 10 key, you'll even get paid

    I said that sounds pretty good

    Black heroine tar,

    bagged up so bright

    They cut off my social life but it was alright

    We marched and we sang

    We all became friends

    As we learned how to account…

    A hero of Audit,

    Yeah that's what I'll be

    And when I come home

    They'll be damn proud of me

    I'll carry this Laptop

    To the grave if I must

    Cause it's a laptop that I love

    And a laptop that I trust

    I kicked in the door

    I yelled my requests

    The controllers, they cried

    But I got my PBC's

    We took him away

    A visor over his face

    From his family and his friends

    They took off his holidays

    They assigned him some work

    I told them to stop

    But then I joined in

    We beat him with Spreadsheets

    And PDF's not just once

    But again and again

    A hero of Audit,

    Yeah that's what I'll be

    And when I come home

    They'll be damn proud of me

    I'll carry this Laptop

    To the grave if I must

    Cause it's a laptop that I love

    And a laptop that I trust

    She walked through offices and halls

    I asked her to stop

    I begged her to stay

    But she pressed on

    So I lifted my 10 key

    And I typed away

    And the PBCs jumped through the smoke

    And into the inbox

    That the server now had soaked

    She collapsed with a 10 key in her hand

    A financial statement white as snow

    A hero of Audit

    Is that what they see?

    Just designations and sleep depravity

    So damn proud of me

    And I brought home that CPA

    Now it gathers dust

    But it's a CPA that I love

    The only CPA that I trust

    He said, son, have you seen the world?

    Well what would you say, if I said that you could?

    I think i need to amend my taxes, please help

    Posted: 16 Apr 2019 10:45 PM PDT

    So here's the situation:

    I live in New Jersey and work solely in New York City. I worked as a 1099 independent contractor courier solely in NYC. I also had a regular job in NYC

    The error I made was taking some deductions in my New York nonresident tax return that I shouldn't have I think .

    These are the questions I need to fix on my New York State nonresident tax form

    Question 1 - For the Income Interest I entered "$375" in box "New York source portion". I think it should be zero instead

    Question 2 - for the Self-Employment Tax I entered $627 in box "New York source portion". I think that's correct and should remain the same

    Question 3 - is for the "student loan interest" below "self-employment tax". I think that should be zero but I'm not sure.
