    I am at my breaking point with audit

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 03:50 PM PDT

    3.5 years in, senior for 1.5. I've become completely numb to this work. I thought it would get better or more interesting as a senior but it only got worse and I don't think covid did me any favors.

    I'm so fucking bored of everything that I'm falling behind on work and can't keep up. I can't get myself to care about anything work related for more than like 4 or 5 hours a day. Some days just 2 hours. I probably should be billing around 10 a day.

    It's not only the boredom that is demotivating, it's the fact that I know this work is a meaningless check of a box. Mostly everything isn't tangible. If some of the work is, clients barely fucking care. Not to mention the constant babysitting of clients that are twice as old as you who will make sure that you are always at the bottom of their priority list.

    Everyday for the past two months I've contemplated quitting, some days a immediate resignation. Paychecks are what have kept me here as quitting isn't financially responsible and the job hunt has been so slow with covid. I've never been so fucking miserable in my life.

    I can't wait for the day I can say I'm a recovering auditor. To those people who stay till manager and above, bless you. I don't know how you do it without tearing your eyes out to be blind to the fuckery of which I personally have experienced.

    Edit: Also to add, friends around my age all seem to have jobs that END when work time is over. None of them complain about their job as much as I do. Granted I probably make the more, but I can't believe it's by much and it's definitely not worth the additional pay. Public is a pyramid scheme where you are the product who will be paid the same no matter how much you work.

    Me explaining to my manager that I’m over budget because there was no test

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 05:27 PM PDT

    It's such a slap in the face to the people laid off when your firm turns around months later and advertises an immediate need for people across the board.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 01:36 PM PDT

    Firm is in desperate need of bodies now when we laid off 20+ staff/seniors/managers (some really good performers too) just a few months ago. If I was laid off I'd be pissed.

    What are the most significant differences between Big 4 firms vs other Top 10 or 20 firms such as Grant Thornton & RSM for interns and new graduates?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 02:14 PM PDT

    My question isn't what sets B4 apart in terms of revenue or clientele. I know Deloitte, PwC, EY, & KPMG are leaps and bounds ahead of the other firms in those areas. Rather, I would like to know if there are any other factors that distinguish Big 4 firms from the rest of the pack for young professionals beginning their accounting careers.

    taking BEC in 10 days - how much easier relative to other 3

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 10:24 PM PDT

    Have been going through lectures and doing MCQ's on Becker. Have passed REG (79) & FAR (81) but failed AUD (74)

    Are there Task based simulations that are more unique to BEC and what is this writing portion about and is it something you should practice much of or at all?

    I'm 30 and been in Finance/Accounting with a masters in Accounting 2018 and B.B.A. In Econ in 2012. Thinking I have the Econ section down well. Anything stuck out taking this for anyone or clearly overlooked areas?

    Certainly don't want to screw up this "gimme" section so insight would be much appreciated!

    Internship interview coming up this week any suggestions!

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 10:13 PM PDT

    Hi,

    Just got emailed for a personal phone interview with an accounting firm. I have never had a formal job interview. Any suggestions of how I should prepare?

    Cheers

    Any finance majors that managed to get into accounting here?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 08:01 PM PDT

    Basically, when I was a stupid, clueless college freshman who was straight out of high school, I narrowed my choice of major down to two choices: Finance or Accounting. Finance seemed like the "sexier" option, so I went with that one. Stupid 18-year-old me failed to consider the fact that I was attending an average state school, and that most of the "sexier" finance jobs are easier to get if you go to a target school (I don't think my dumbass even knew wtf a target school was at the time I declared finance as my major).

    I'm still in undergrad, but I'm worried about my job prospects after graduation. I do have some accounting classes under my belt, and can maybe mention that if recruiters ask me why I want to go into accounting as a finance major? I'm not under any illusions about how tough being an accounting major can be, and as a finance major, I know that I'm not gonna have the hard skills that accounting majors do.

    Has anyone here managed to get into accounting despite being a finance major? I'd hate to think that I'm gonna be condemned to selling life insurance or some shit because I made some bad life choices straight out of high school.

    Boring is underrated and the grass isn't always greener - rant

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 09:09 AM PDT

    Left an industry bookkeeping job that was operationally run like clockwork, everything balanced always, no big dramas, absolute snooze fest.

    Wanted more of a challenge and more money so took the exact same role at a different company.

    New job had some red flags in the interview but I was naive and probably greedy (new job is $20k more) and took it. Now I'm 4 months in and it's a disaster. It's operationally run as a giant clusterfuck, nothing has been reconciled for months on end, everything is permanently on fire, I'm inundated with emails, about 80-100 a day that if I don't respond/do the task quick enough to then I get complaints which partners hear about. Zero training given. The entire team has been here less than 6 months as turnover is so high, several of them had never worked on this accounting system before.

    I feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells, I've never been more stressed in my life. it's starting to affect my health.

    But I can't quit now; 1-it's only been 4 months, that looks pretty bad on resumes and 2-we're gonna be in the middle of a recession v soon and no-one is going to be hiring, 3-i won't qualify for aid if I leave voluntarily.

    This really sucks, I wish I'd stayed at the other job and not though the grass is greener elsewhere.

    Why do an auditor need to be onsite with their clients?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 05:56 PM PDT

    Why can't they work from the office 100% of the time?

    How many of you actually enjoy accounting

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 07:31 AM PDT

    My brother is in his last year of his accounting program and has just told me he hates accounting now. This scares me as I'm in the same program. This might be because of course load or the pandemic so I was wondering if there is anyone here who grew to dislike the profession. I know there's good money and security so there are definitely some people that only became accountants for that and to them I want to ask if it was worth it.
