    Internal Controls? We don't need no steenkeeng iNtErNaL cOnTrOLs

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 06:21 PM PDT

    So my kid bought an expensive piece of tech the other day, and he managed to convince his mother to "gladly pay us Tuesday for two hamburgers today". When I saw the charge on my credit card I asked for an explanation. And the whole time I'm sitting there listening to the story of why it needed to be purchased now, and why he couldn't just use his own money from his savings, I couldn't stop thinking, "I have ZERO internal controls in my house!"

    RBC CPA 30 Month Rotational Program

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 09:40 PM PDT

    Wondering if anyone has experience applying to, or working through this program at RBC. I go to university in Canada and the vast majority of recruiting that is pushed on us is B4 focused so i'm trying to figure out what else is out there.

    Mostly curious about how career trajectories would differ going into a CPA accounting position at a RBC or comparable bank VS big four accounting in audit. Any other comments and insights are also welcome!

    Slimy Partner

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 02:48 PM PDT

    Anyone ever feel like some of the partners are just slimy? I have a partner that I've been working with for the past few months and I feel like he is a used car salesman. All he can ever talk about Billings and how to get more out of a client.

    We are a smaller firm and do a lot of tax work. A He'll say to charge one client say $500 for a 1040 that took 30 minutes to prep then turn around and tell you to increase the fee to $750 because he thinks they'll pay it. I don't like that sh*t.

    There are incentives to bring in new clients and that makes me not want to do it. Get them in and then there is no control over how they are treated. I feel like that is going to end up making me look bad eventually.

    Reddit explains fund accounting

    Actively trying to automate myself out of a job

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 10:42 AM PDT

    tl;dr at the bottom because this is just going to be a stupid rant

    Okay, let me preface with something here. I'm ABSOLUTELY not even close to being an amazing coder or computer science wizard. I am minoring in MIS (woooo how cool) and might go to grad school for CS if I don't off myself before I finish undergrad in December, but we'll see.

    Anyway...

    I work in Corp accounting for a large utility (now owned by an extremely large energy company). The people I work around are all, on average, at LEAST 10-15 years older than I am and I'm 27. I'm genuinely the best Excel user in the entire finance department. There's one older dude who's better with formulas and such, but that's where his knowledge stops.

    Recently I've been getting really into trying to make my job easier. I started as an intern (still am) doing interny shit and since being acquired causing mass turnover, retirements, etc., I've had an insane amount of shit dumped on me. Fine, I like the experience. I'd much rather browse reddit all day than do the wide array of mindless tasks that I now have, though. Okay, it's not all mindless, but the people who've taught me how to do things really just love to do it the hard way. Here's where I've been dabbling.

    I've realized that with some basic macro's and a very intermediate level of VBA knowledge, even the most labor intensive tasks (such as creating particular financial statements) can be taken from several hours down to mere minutes. Every few weeks, I watch this older dude next to me prepare a set of financial statements for a monthly meeting. He literally takes several hours copying/pasting/formatting/changing formulas (aka adding the same formula on top of an already existing one to account for month updates), etc. I was thinking about it today and all this process needs is maybe 2-3 macros and it could be done in a few minutes plus the time it takes to cross reference the data with data given from other departments. Perhaps update the macros every year. I told the guy this and he looked at me like I was a complete idiot. He also seemed to get a bit upset and said he'd not have much to do if I took over the function. Lol. I get it, he doesn't even understand vlookup, but cmon dude.

    Anyway, so now I'm on a roll. Created my own macro workbook with some random shit in it like file formatting for upload and boring stuff like that. Lady next to me was shocked when I showed her. My goal is to automate so much shit that I can score a job as a business analyst or consultant or something and never have to do another month end close again.

    tl;dr With excel, even an idiot like me can save time at work to waste time on Reddit! Probably gotta be in industry, though. No one knows how to do anything here.

    Do you ever have to convince people that looking like you are making money is different than actually making money?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 07:24 AM PDT

    Especially with non-owners like department heads and the like?

    Edit: I was talking about looking at financial statements and P&L s and the like. I see how people could see this as a completely different question now. My situation is more like people being blissful in thier ignorance as long as it makes thier department look good.

    [CPA CAN] - For those working in Industry - how much time-off did you feel was adequate to prepare for CFE?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 11:14 AM PDT

    May 2020 writer here - who just submitted time-off for 5 weeks (this includes the week of the CFE).

    I know its a little trickier to negotiate time off in industry compared to Public Accounting, but is this typically enough time to feel prepared enough to tackle everything the exam will be throwing at us?

    Going back to school to become a lawyer after getting CPA.

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 06:12 AM PDT

    Anyone have experience with going to law school after working for a few years? I just recently passed my last CPA exam and I have been considering going to law school. It's something I've always been interested in but now I'm 3 years into my career and I don't know if it's worth going back to school part time. It's also pretty expensive.

    And advice/input/experience would be appreciated!

    Am I applying for positions way above my experience?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2019 04:57 PM PDT

    A bit of my background: I finished my BS degree in accounting in July and I've been working as a Junior Accountant/Accounting Clerk on the GL team at a large company since January. I've been searching for a entry Staff Accountant/Accountant I position for about two months now and I've gotten one interview that entire time. Do I need more experience? Should I just apply for "lower" accounting positions such as AP/AR clerks and accounting associate positions?
