    Why do accounting firms say their people have an "entrepreneurial spirit"?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 10:15 AM PDT

    Working for an accounting firm is like the opposite of entrepreneurship. Working 70 hours a week for someone else while making 50k is NOT entrepreneurial.

    pls stop with this shit

    Personal policy on how I ask for more work. TLDR: be careful

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:14 AM PDT

    For background I am a senior staff with a couple of years experience in public. My productivity and work-life balance have gone thru the roof since I adopted the following rules for myself about asking for new work:

    1. Only ask for new work if I don't have any PTO or have a plan to use all of my current PTO.

    2. Only ask for new work if I am at least slightly ahead on CPE.

    3. Only ask for new work if I have already done at least 1 "fun" webinar /educational training on a unique topic this quarter. Yeah, managers might be irritated if you waste an afternoon learning about blockchain or AI or something, but they can't openly complain about staff trying to improve themselves.

    4. Only ask for new work if you have followed up on each client in your WIP within the last 3 days. Email the clients staff accountants directly if you need to. Yeah the senior manager might not like that but who cares ; it will keep you caught up and not overwhelmed later.

    If I need to ask for new work, I only go about it in the following ways.

    1. Remember that I've been put on multiple month long train wrecks because of speaking up about having availability too soon - be patient and stall a little bit before raising your hand. Don't ask for new work until you are totally caught up with what is assigned to you presently. Don't be like, "I will probably be looking for something in a couple of days," because stuff pops up all the time. If you do that, in a couple of days you could wind up overbooked.

    2. Only ask managers one at a time if they want help - bad rumors about somebody having too much availability happen when you send out the team wide "need work" email.

    3. Always offer to help the first or second year managers first. It makes them feel good to be in charge. They are the ones that supervise small projects and will have the easiest things to delegate. Plus you should really help them out so that they want to help you out later when you wind up in over your head and need help on another engagement.

    4. Never ask for more work after 4 pm outside of busy season.

    5. Never ask for more work on a Thursday or Friday unless you are out of PTO or ahead on CPE.

    The main thing is I remind myself it is better to have a couple hours of downtime each week than to wind up overwhelmed because I am either doing somebody else's job or am working on something that I suck at and have zero experience in - which is why it wasn't assigned to me in the first place. When I first started out I wasted way too much time with the whole "guys I have 40 hours on my schedule and 10 of those might fall through what should I do give me stuff to work on" bs that in retrospect I now realize didn't matter. If "manager" isn't in your job title, it is someone else's job to manage your workflow, so let them.

    Accountants who aren't CPAs?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:53 PM PDT

    I'm currently in my last year taking up Accountancy and would like to hear your thoughts.

    A bit of context. I'm gonna be upfront now and say I don't really like it. I was always iffy when I chose to take up Accounting. I decided to pursue it because 1) my mom told me that I wouldn't have trouble finding work for it when I graduate and 2) I didn't know what else to take at the time. Over the years however, the small amount of passion I had for it had burned out, but given that it's my final year, it was a bit too late to just start over to a new degree.

    Anyways, in order to save myself from unnecessary stress I decided to shift my goal from "passing the board and becoming a CPA" to simply just graduating. Now, here's my question. To those who didn't take the board exam and become a CPA, were you still able to find work for yourself? Was it difficult? What is it like? Also, if you feel like sharing, why did you choose not to become a CPA?

    Career Advice--55k vs 75k

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 04:22 PM PDT

    I have 2 job offers. One is from a big 4 accounting firm for 55,000 and the other is from a small company for $75,000. I could really use the 20,000 haha but I'm worried that choosing the smaller company will be very shortsighted.

    ​

    Any advice will be appreciated

    CPA to Lawyer?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 06:40 PM PDT

    Has anyone shifted from working in public accounting with a CPA license then studied law and shifted to a law career? If so, how was the shift and what were the steps taken?

    Disclaimer: These questions are just out of curiosity, I just find Corporate Law kind of interesting. Also, I am not a CPA yet but I am in the process of taking the CPA Exam, and I will start working full-time next year at a mid-size public acctg firm as a Tax Associate.

    New hires: show up to meetings you accept

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 03:03 PM PDT

    Of course attend your normal client meetings, but also "real talk" discussions with PPMD's and trainings.

    Some might disagree with me here, but I've seen it happen a few times (especially pre-COVID) where the PPMD's want to know who accepted, but didn't show up. Some trainings might also be in limited supply or paid for by the firm and they will want to know who they wasted money on.

    This is not a career ender, but don't put yourself on a bad list just because you decided not to show up to a training or happy hour.

    Declined to interview with for big 4 audit internship?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:21 AM PDT

    I am junior majoring in accounting and I just declined to interview for a big 4 audit internship during the summer of 2021. I declined to interview because I am more interested in going into an fldp rather than public accounting. Did I make a dumb decision?

    Government Auditing

    Has anyone here gone from public accounting in a federal government sector to industry? I'm just wondering what types of opportunities are out there and the kinds of places that would value this background/experience. Other than the government

    Do You Regret Going into Accounting?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 07:57 PM PDT

    Hi! I'm an aspiring accountant going into college next year. I don't have some like crazy passion for a career or direction in life. My business and accounting classes haven't been incredibly interesting but they aren't bad and I do well in them. I think learning about the fraud cases is the most interesting part. I think that business jobs are very versatile and you could go into any industry and wander in any direction. If I pursue business, I would pursue Accounting, Finance, or Information Systems. I would like to know if you regret or don't regret choosing Accounting as your job choice and why so I can learn more about Accounting. Thank you!

    Is there any incentive to perform well in public accounting?

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:52 PM PDT

    I will be starting in a mid-sized firm doing audit next year. I want to do well but is there any incentive to do so? Will I be rewarded for doing well?
