    I quit!

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 12:47 PM PST

    I quit today. I am done with audit, I am done with the insane workload, I am done with being a no lifer. I can wash all my dirty laundry now, because I have enough time!

    Well, I still need to wait for my notice period but yeah I'm free.

    Ps: I will most likely get bored from lack of chaos and come back to audit but it feels good for now.

    World War III affect on job outlook

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 08:35 PM PST

    Do you guys think that the coming world war in Iran will affect my chances at getting into Big 4? I've been dreaming about being an auditor since I was only 3' tall and now I worry if there's gonna be a war I might not be able to to that. I have a 5.0 GPA and am president of an accounting club you've never heard of where we kinda just fuck around and bullshit with each other to call it a resume booster and con other students out of $90 each semester.

    What do you guys think my chances are at getting into big 4??

    Dating a coworker gone professional

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 10:26 AM PST

    I've met this girl several months ago. We were both new audit hires at the same B4 company, but she ended up in another office (different city, several hundred miles away from here). About a month ago due to some staffing problems, some of the employees from her office (including her) were assigned to the engagements in my city for several weeks. I thought we wouldn't be coworkers permanently and initially we were getting along pretty well so I asked her out.

    That day after work I left my laptop at her hotel room and we decided to grab some food and drinks, we danced a little bit, I showed her around the city. We had a great time and she asked me to stay. I jokingly replied that I will have to get up earlier than usually, because the it was after 11 PM already and I had to finish some paper early in the morning, which somehow led to a conversation about the quantity of work on our current engagements and about work in general. We both reached for our laptops to compare our schedules.

    So… we found ourselves at 2 AM in the Hilton room doing unpaid overtime on a date. After spending two hours ticking invoices, we kinda both realized that… it was initially meant to be a date, not a goddamn coworking event. It got a little bit uncomfortable and awkward. We decided to call it a night; I took an Uber and returned home.

    Damn, have you ever been cockblocked by the amount of work? Please, don't tell me I was the only one. The date was fun and our seniors were happy that the engagement went smoothly, though.

    Why is it so hard to find a job after graduation?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 08:01 PM PST

    Recent college graduate here (fall 19) with an Accounting degree here with a 3.43 GPA and interested in auditing. I'm wondering why is it so hard to find employment after graduation even with 2 internship experiences and a treasury position for an on-campus club. I've been applying to open accounting (be it clerk, AR, AP, Audit, and staff acc.) positions for the past couple of months and most of the companies either ghosts me or they'd move on from my application (end rant lmao).

    Does anyone have any advice/suggestions on the ways that I can improve my application techniques or such as I've been getting zilch lately.

    Thank you in advance!

    [CAN]Would you leave low $70's/year job for $80k/year job with upgraded title?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 05:09 PM PST

    The question is in the title. LCOL area in Canada.

    I work in a mining company as a recently promoted Senior Accountant. Been there almost 18 months. Salary is in the low $70s/year. Salary is supposed to be changed but I don't know the figure as boss boss hasn't approved it and the paperwork hasn't been submitted yet.

    I went for an interview at an REIT company as an Assistant Controller and they are interested in me. Duties include:

    • Responsible for supporting the Controller in preparing monthly financial reports for company's real estate portfolio

    • Interface with property management on monthly financial reporting

    • Preparation and/or review of monthly closing journal entries and account reconciliations

    • Responsible for monthly reporting to joint venture partners including financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cash flow projections

    • Ensure compliance with monthly HST reporting

    • Assistance with preparation of annual operating budgets and financial forecasting

    • Manage and monitor financial practices, policies and procedures to maintain strong systems of internal control and assistance in the completion of internal audit procedures

    • Work to increase efficiencies by streamlining reporting processes and enhancing financial analysis

    I want to grow my career and I feel like being at the operations level might limited my growth options compared to corporate where I have to take a more "big-pictured" view. Work is OK...my bosses are good, co-workers aren't very talented, distribution of work is poor (I feel like I have been doing the heavy lifting on month end), and I have seen some co-workers on same level as me get paid more ($10-$15k). Commute time would be cut in half from 1 hour to 30 mins.

    Part of me says yes, but I am a little worried of the unknown. It's not like my job is bad per se, just feel like I am underpaid compared to peers. There has been some upheaval at my work -- the bad performer management are getting pushed out slowly. But I think getting close to the corporate action will help me grow.

    What do you think? Would you do it? Or, despite being frustrated, keep waiting?

    Should I start going to recruiting events now? New student starting Monday in a post-degree accounting diploma

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 06:15 PM PST

    Hi everyone!

    Was just hoping to get some advice as I'm new to all of this. I'm starting a post degree diploma in accounting this coming Monday, which I plan to be done by the end of summer 2021, and would mostly likely go into CPA PEP if all goes well. Our program suggests going through recruitment a year in advance, so does that mean I should start attending recruitment and networking events as soon as I can? The big recruitment period is in the fall, but there seems to be a lot of events throughout the year. The reason I'm hesitant is that I don't really have a background in business or accounting (I have a BA and a BEd, and worked as a teacher for four years) and didn't have good grades with my other degrees (my education degree was a pass/fail system, and my undergrad degree gpa is nothing to be proud of). Should I wait until I've done a few courses and workshops, or should I just go for it, and if so, what advice would you give to someone with my background? I'm in Canada and currently work as an admin assistant for a non-profit, which I'll continue to do while studying. Thanks!

    Bulking season during busy season:

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 10:55 AM PST

    I'm a skinny guy and for the past several months I've been trying to work out and eat a lot to put on muscle. It's been pretty easy since spring graduation and the first two months of work to maintain.

    Any advice on busy season? I'll be at hotels most of winter so going out to eat most nights

    What accounting path to work in foreign country as a fresh graduate ?(Japan)

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 09:43 PM PST

    Internship is coming in a couple of months and I wanna know what area of expertise I should be looking into to work straight as a fresh graduate in a japan big 4 firm. Tax? Audit? Etc? Are these skills transferable to Japan?

    NB: My Japanese will be N2 by the time I graduate but my conversational skills and general Japanese is significantly better than my test taking skills so I will manage working and getting used to work Japanese if there we be a need to.

    First time keeping books need help

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 02:39 PM PST

    So my dad runs a small remodeling business and his way of accounting is throwing all his receipts into his console of his truck... he started this in April after he got his new truck, so there are no receipts from Jan-March. Also he runs a lot of personal stuff through his business checking. I told him I would get him setup on quick books and put his 2019 stuff in and then get him setup for 2020. My question is, is it going to be possible to do a bank rec? Or is it even necessary since it's really just for Tax purposes and job profitability?

    Pursuing an accounting degree with a bad credit history?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2020 07:39 PM PST

    Hi, I'm 24 years old, wanting to go back to school and make a future for myself. I was just weighing my major options and I'm curious about accounting. I've had some credit issues in the past (missed payments, collections, etc). I almost have everything paid off, but I'm just curious if that kind of history would make pursuing accounting a waste of time? Thanks for any advice!
