    As much as Big4 sucks, the internship money is incredible

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 02:19 PM PDT

    I saved about 60% of my internship money and I've already been on an international vacation, have another one scheduled, and have been spending a ton of money during my senior year. And I still have tons left. Plus I'm about to get a fat tax return in the winter. Shoutout big4, they really made my senior year special.

    I made a playlist called Soul Study Rap. Perfect for working. Filled with soul RnB/Rap that is energetic enough to not make you sleepy but not enough to be distracting.

    Big 4 Work-Life

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 04:10 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I am starting at a Big 4 Firm in the Bay Area in the coming months (busy season). I just wanted to know what I can expect. For instance since public accounting doesn't really follow "9-5", how do you know when it is okay to leave? What are some do's and dont's and just general tips.

    Thanks folks. Kinda nervous.

    Getting a CPA to open up doors

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 01:07 PM PDT

    So I'm currently working in a job that is somewhat accounting oriented but also has some financial forecasting/management aspects to it and then has some administrative responsibilities tied in as well. I double majored in accounting and finance in my undergrad (graduated 2 years ago) and have been at my current job for a little over a year. My plan has always been to get my CPA but I've been putting it off to make sure it's something I actually want to do.

    My question is, since I'm not really in a traditional accounting job, if I were to get my CPA, what kind of doors would that open up for me? Would I just be able to get only accounting jobs at accounting firms or would I be able to other things?

    Is it just me, or are firm training sessions a complete waste of time?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 07:02 PM PDT

    I know I probably sound like a dick, but after sitting through a few over the past two months, I can't help but feel like every official "training" session has been a huge waste of time. Every session so far has had a similar theme: the subject matter has either been on overly vague AICPA standards, which for the most part don't apply to the job functions of a staff, or super specific firm processes, which are usually explained in an unorganized and poor manner. Hell, most of the lessons have been given by seniors or experienced staff, and seem like they were thrown together the hour before (it's also funny watching them explain AICPA standards to us, when I know for a fact that quite a few of them have failed/are struggling to pass AUD.

    Again, I apologize if I'm being a dick, but I've noticed that even after these training sessions (and vigorous note taking) none of my class knows WTF is going on.

    Idk... I expected more from a firm with $2b+ revenue ... It's just crazy that if we billed a client for one of our "training" sessions, it would cost $30k+, and yet it feels like nothing gets done.

    Please help me (crying face)

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 04:43 PM PDT

    After browsing this subreddit, it looks like public accounting is the way to go. I graduated with my BS in accounting 4 years ago and only did private accounting. I'm currently a Revenue Accountant making $55/year in Nebraska. Is my pay and job title okay or bad progress? I'm currently doing an dual MBA/MSA to advance my career. Can people like me still get into public or too late? Should I go public if there is a chance? Thanks!!!

    I work at a small firm as an auditor and I absolutely love it. B4 auditors who think so, tell me if/why I’m wrong. B4 or large national auditors who want to know more, AMA.

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 10:08 PM PDT

    As I said in the title, I'm at a small firm. I'm about a year and a half in. It's got about 60 employees in a major metropolitan area. We specialize in private clients that range in revenue from anywhere between 5 and 200 or so million dollars a year. I love my job, I love my pay, and while I don't always love my clients, I think all of the experience I've gotten thus far is extremely valuable. I can't think of anywhere else I'd like to work. If you think I'm wrong, tell me why. If you want to know more. I'll tell you what I can without revealing either mine or my firm's identity.

    How can you tell if you are doing your job well/meeting expectations?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 10:03 PM PDT

    10 months in at a local firm doing audit and tax work here.

    How can you tell if you are doing well/getting a good reputation? Does the fact that nobody has told me I suck or that there is a problem mean that I am doing well (no news is good news)?

    The reason I ask is that I kinda figured I'd suck at the job coming into it. I graduated school in 2016 but never had a job in my life before this one. I couldn't even remember if an expense was a debit or credit when I started.

    Is there a chance I'm doing well or do all the negatives get stored up for an ass reaming at the annual review?

    Future of GT?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 02:04 PM PDT

    I took a winter internship with GT and I'm really excited to start and learn more about audit....but I'm nervous about the future of the company. I'm trying to do what I didn't do in undergrad and think farther ahead. I think it'll be a great experience regardless, but should I be wary of accepting a full-time offer if I receive one?

    I want to be an accountant but I don't have a relevant degree and no money to get a accounting degree. What should I do?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:11 PM PDT

    Hey guys

    I have a business admin/communications BA degree because I wanted to work in marketing / project management. I experienced plenty and I figured I didn't like it. In recent years, I worked at a law firm as a legal assistant/paralegal that handles general laws as I had a connection with an attorney. Luckily, knowing labor law and tax law got me a job in HR where I handle policy development and hiring people. I found HR field not so bad to stay in also I think it could be a good experience working in HR to become an accountant in the future. However, I really want to be an accountant ASAP. I was good at accounting courses while in school. My dad is an accountant/ consultant at a bank, I think it was always in me.

    But I live in one of the major cities in US, seems like all the accountant jobs that I like requires accounting major. Of course, I want to work at B4 in the future.

    Problem is I have no money so all I can do is to take courses online or go to night school and take the test & get CPA instead of going to grad school. I'm confident I can pass the exam, I will study hard and pass the test. But I feel like just getting CPA won't really get me to the B4. Since I'm not a "traditional route" I might need get some accounting degree somewhere.

    I'm 24, not sure I'm too late to be an accountant, my friends who majored in accounting while in school seem happy.. am I too late? Is getting CPA and not going to grad school bad? What are the cheap ways to solve this? I regret not choosing accounting earlier in my life. I hope to settle in my career soon..

    Left Public, thanks r/Accounting

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 01:57 AM PDT

    Since I've utilized this great sub-reddit from my wee consultant I days all the way to my senior 2 days in pwc, I wanted to share my fucking excitement and sheer raw joy of leaving.

    Thanks all, you guys were great fun, and just made some shit easier to handle.

    Best of luck to those still in the grind.

    Do I even want to be partner?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 01:39 PM PDT

    Maybe I'm missing something because I work for a little guy but why would I want to pay $50k to be a minority partner in a firm with people I don't like? Would be easier to just start my own firm. I should probably just go back to private accounting...

    Has anyone successfully made the transition from accounting to recruiting of accountants?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 01:31 PM PDT

    Have some questions on how that transition was and how to get started. Did you start your own agency or join another? What were the biggest challenges and surprises?
