| Found out I failed FAR exam 2019 Posted: 03 Aug 2019 05:52 PM PDT Hi, Just got my FAR exam score and I got a 63. I am devastated. Took the exam early July 2019 and it was my first CPA exam I have ever taken in my life. I study about 200 hours (About 2.5 months), but I think it because my brain wasn't in the state to study as I recently graduated in May, and started studying in the middle of May. I am planing to take AUD in late October or mid October. Any advice on when I should take FAR? I am planning to take it on the last day of Q4 testing window, but I don't want to go through the suffering of studying. Or should I wait til next year? Also any study tips for Audit and motivation?

| Being a Staff Accountant Blows Posted: 03 Aug 2019 07:11 AM PDT Not to be negative, but anyone else fed up with being a Staff Accountant? Low raises, stagnant job duties, and incompetent co-workers without a degree or any experience in accounting. Meanwhile, my boss guilt trips me into never leaving. "I'd hate you to give a two-week notice. I'd be failing as a manager by not retaining good talent." Okay? So why are you paying me a few thousand less than my university's average starting salary for new grads, even though I have two years experience? Why didn't you promote me? I've had it!

| Posted: 03 Aug 2019 06:30 AM PDT I'm hosting an excel workshop for accounting/ finance students and I was wondering what employers/staff want our students to be taught before they enter their internships/jobs. Obviously most of them know how to do very basic excel skills but I was wondering if there was anything else in the nitty gritty that would give them a leg up on their first week.

| What is the best way to get SAP experience if your company does not use SAP? Posted: 03 Aug 2019 04:57 PM PDT I work for a small defense contractor where we use QuickBooks and another software package for accounting. However, I see ads looking for SAP experience and I have none. Do you need a UDEMY class, pay a lot of money for one of those extension classes (that would be UCLA, USC, or Cal State LA where I live), or just wait for an employer that will you give a chance with the software? I have an expert in using accounting software but it seems companies prefer that you have already know the software before you start with them. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 03 Aug 2019 12:32 PM PDT Hello, Education/work background: AA in natural science,+ have worked as a security guard with the homeless population/shelters + an EMT for the past 3 years. Currently I work in substance abuse recovery services. I've also done odd jobs/internships regarding data analysis, decontamination + handling contaminated produce in agriculture. I have a strong passion for finances that I discovered the last year of my AA, learning how to read a balance sheet, calculate compounding interest, APR + other basics. I've put my skills to practice with my partner + I's finances and enjoyed it. I find myself spending my free time learning and studying the market, tax laws, or just listening to finance podcast. Well I took a gap year, + now it's time for me to start applying to schools for my B.S.... I'm torn between accounting or nursing. As an EMT/Security guard I've worked long hours + graves, I've been spat on, pee'd on, exposed to diseases, etc., so difficulty/cons are not a factor in my decision making. TL;DR I want a career that: 1. Possibility of travel for work. 2. Work culture allows ~3-weeks off a year. 3. A job that allows a predominantly (excluding busy-season) healthy time w/ the family. My dad was often away from home, + I don't want to be the same way with my family once I make one. I want to avoid: 1. A stationary position/job. Once I'm older in my mid-30's or 40's I don't want to have to return to school to get a better position. 2. Low pay/overworked combo that's rampant in EMS. [link] [comments]  | ||
| [US] What exit opportunities do I have as a Big 4 Senior Manager in Tax? Posted: 03 Aug 2019 07:50 AM PDT I've been working at Big 4's for about 10 years now and I am currently a Senior Manager working primarily on individual tax - I've reached a point where I'm not sure if I can see myself doing this for much longer and I'm just trying to see what else is out there. Honestly, this was my first job out of college that I kinda fell ass backwards into and I've been doing this ever since. If I keep going at it, there's more than a 50% chance I will make partner in the next 10 years but at the very least, I will make MD. I'm currently in the NYC area but I am open to moving - in fact, I would probably prefer to move out of here. I realize I will be starting from scratch at most other jobs which I think I am OK with but it would be nice if I can leverage any of my skills/experience from working at a Big 4. I have a bachelors degree in accounting and I am not a CPA. My current salary is about 170K (including a joke of a bonus) but I am OK with taking a pay cut - something that pays me over 100K with the possibility of making more as I progress in my career would be ideal. I don't even know where I would start with exploring my options - I'm not looking to do this immediately - likely in the next year or two. One option I have is to basically work on the client side which by my estimate, will pay maybe 40-50K more but that's all I'll be making forever unless like my boss there dies or something. I was looking at maybe doing something in Tech but I don't have very much knowledge about the job market there so any guidance I can get would be much appreciated. What other options do I have?

| Posted: 03 Aug 2019 09:49 PM PDT Does anyone have any good recommendations for good cpe website for the 80 hour ce requirement? I've done some research and a lot of the websites I've seen look kind of dates or scammy. I prefer self study and would take some excel courses for ce hours. My work will probably pay for it but don't want anything crazy expensive. I've done Becker courses before and liked them but there's might be too much. Any suggestions appreciated.

| Can i complete the PER for both ACCA and CIMA at the same time? Has anyone done this? Posted: 03 Aug 2019 09:46 PM PDT If so, do you guys recommend medium/small sized businesses or large firms? and in which industry? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 03 Aug 2019 09:25 PM PDT I'm mainly minoring in it because while I am doing well in my courses, I primarily want to focus on the business and managerial side of things. I know I won't be happy in an accounting position but I still want to learn about how things work. If I can afford both, I'll be doing both but since I have no interest in being a CPA, which one would you recommend I prioritize if I can only take one? I already took managerial accounting and I will be doing an internship in the next year or so. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is the accountant in charge of my grandma’s estate wasting time/money? Posted: 03 Aug 2019 08:46 PM PDT Edit: sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Not sure where to go. Thank you for reading I don't trust the accountant or attorney in charge of my grandmother's estate after her passing last year. While my grandma was sick and unable to think/make decisions, make aunt (bad person) managed to get lawyers and accountants fired if they wouldn't let my aunt get the money she wanted. For this reason, I have suspicions regarding the people she hired to handle that rather large estate. The accountant is regularly sending me mail to my physical address that is unnecessary and I feel like he is just finding bs reasons to charge billable hours. He will send letters that essentially say, "no new updates", at least once a month. I asked him to please direct future correspondence to my email as I see the physical mail to be a waste. He said he won't do that because he wouldn't be "properly" documenting his responsibilities. As someone who used to work for accountants and lawyers, I don't see why he can't use email. I just don't want to be taken advantage of if they're looking for easy ways to get more money out of the estate. Any insight/advice? I might pull my personal lawyer in and have the account and estate attorney cc my lawyer on all documents so they know I'm keeping tabs. Am I overthinking? Is the excessive mail a non issue?

| Comparing two jobs; my current job vs. a job offer - Input Kindly Requested Posted: 03 Aug 2019 08:25 PM PDT Please provide your experience, feedback, thoughts and what you may suggest in this situation. I'm definitely undecided. Is this a good career move? I currently work at a small public accounting firm in a major metro area. We have 20ish employees total with both tax and audit, mostly tax. I work on the tax side and have for 3 busy seasons, my only Tax Accounting experience. I also have my CPA and have had it for nearly a year. In January of this year I was promoted to Senior. The perceived feeling I got when I interviewed with larger firms is that they do not value my work experience at a smaller firm, and do not think it will translate to larger clients. I now think there is a stigma associated with smaller firms. I have experience, but perhaps it isn't the right kind of experience. I applied to around ten places within a one week's timespan and had 6 phone interviews which led to 4 in-person interviews. Three of the four firms I interviewed with in person did not offer me a job. Again I feel like it is because of the small firm stigma either perceived or real, or I did not present myself well. I am now considering taking a new position at a top 15 public accounting firm (not Big4). The one that did offer me a job. I want to make sure I am making the right choice for myself, my wife, and our future family. Here are the details, I will answer anything else in the comments.

| Question about CPA test requirements/exam in Texas Posted: 03 Aug 2019 08:09 PM PDT I'm considering getting a master's degree in accounting and need advice. The requirements to take the CPA exam in Texas (where I live) seem pretty rigid--e.g., 15 out of 30 hours of accounting courses must be taken in a classroom, plus you have to take 21 additional hours in other business courses. I don't have an accounting or business background, but I have years of work experience that is similar to accounting-type work; hence my interest. One of the things I'm considering is an online degree--the University of Texas at Dallas offers an accounting masters--but given that half of my accounting courses would need to be taken in a classroom and *not* online, this doesn't seem to actually be an option if I want to take the CPA exam in Texas. Here's my question: Since other states have less rigid requirements, could I complete an online master's in Texas, take the CPA exam in another state, then transfer my license to Texas to work here? I have no idea if this is kosher or not or if it would be completely impractical for reasons I'm not aware of. My goal here isn't to cheat the system; it's to figure out if an online program is an option for me or if I would be better off pursuing a traditional (in-class) program. It would seem that if the CPA test requirements needed to be that stringent, all states would have the same requirements. If anyone can shed any light on what's up with Texas's requirements, that would also be appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 03 Aug 2019 07:53 PM PDT I start work as an accountant at a local CPA firm on Monday. I graduated in May with my masters. So far I've passed the AUD section of the CPA exam. I'm pretty nervous because I have no accounting experience and I've never had a full time job. I'll be doing mainly audit work at first. Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
