    Looking advice on my crappy situation as a new hire

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 05:47 PM PST

    I started as an audit new hire at PwC a month ago, I've only been on a client for two weeks. I feel incredibly lost with much of my work, especially when it comes to workpapers that require a lot of client support. My senior just emails me tasks with info where to get the data I need to complete it, but I still get lost. I have to complete two workpapers by Monday, and my team is serious with deadlines, but I'm lost on one of them and my team said not to contact anyone of the weekend. Just an example of how I just don't know what to do. Undoubtedly, my performance is lower than it should be.

    I meet with my team every week day, but the meetings only consist of saying what I'm working on. If I say I need help, my senior says to just email any questions. Emailing really isn't enough for me... It's not even that the work is hard, I just feel like no one has told me how I'm supposed to do things - just where to find the necessary material for my tasks.

    It feels like they're just outsourcing tasks to me, without an ounce of coaching or making me feel like I'm a part of a team. It's not, at all, what I signed up to do.

    Any advice on how I can handle this? Has anyone been here before?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 06:00 PM PST

    Hello,

    I'm majoring in Accounting IS with a minor in business analytics so I could leverage a businesses technology and help businesses see how tech can impact their financial health. Do you think I would need a CPA for technology consulting at an accounting firm like Big4 or mid-tier ? Specifically, ERP implementation.

    BDO vs. Big 4 [Medium Length Read]

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 03:01 PM PST

    So I am going to be graduating after this semester and have received full-time offers from Deloitte and BDO. I did an internship at BDO and had a great time and it appears to be a much more laid back and less cut-throat environment than Deloitte. However, I think Deloitte will prove to look much better on my resume and allow me to compete much more effectively when I decide to eventually leave public accounting.

    With that being said, I think BDO will provide me with a less stressful environment to work in while studying for and eventually taking the CPA exam. BDO is also still a massive firm, but I think it lacks the immediate recognition that Deloitte has.

    Finally, I plan on getting a masters degree while working at either BDO or Deloitte. I will already meet the requirements - 150 hours, 30 upper-level accounting hours - to take the CPA exam so getting a masters is more so that I can specialize once out of public accounting. Again, I think that BDO will provide a better environment for engaging in further education.

    It really comes down to work pacing vs. prestige and I am stuck trying to find which tradeoff will be more worth it for the short, medium and long-term. I would love to hear this subreddits thoughts, as I think it has one of the best professional communities on Reddit.

    ADVICE: Finding employment during leave?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 05:10 PM PST

    Created a throwaway for this question.

    I am currently on a leave to allow myself enough time to study for the CPA as I am on my last one. However during this time, I looked for job opportunities and luckily scored an offer. Is it a requirement to tell the firm that I found a job? What would happen if I did/didn't?

    When sampling for fixed asset disposals testing, do you use net book value of the disposed assets or the cost value?

    What is the difference between a re-hypothecation and re-use of collateral?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 09:00 PM PST

    Rehypothecation is where an intermediary has the legal right to take the ownership of the collateral. In a re-use of collateral, the intermediary does not have the legal right to take the ownership of the collateral.

    For example:

    Rehypothecation

    Bank A takes collateral from a client to cover for a loan. If the client is unable to repay the loan, Bank A can choose to take ownership of the collateral.

    Re-use of collateral

    Bank A takes collateral from a client to cover for a loan. If the client is unable to repay the loan, Bank A cannot take ownership of the collateral.

    Interning this spring, want to be offered a full time position in a different city. When do I ask?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 08:44 PM PST

    Im interning this spring with a top 10 firm (tax) and graduating this fall. My recruiter said I could most likely start full time in January 2022 instead of waiting til fall.

    Thing is, there is another city I want to move to after I graduate. I know the firm has a big office in that city (not NYC). Would it be better to be transparent about this desire near the beginning of the internship or wait til I have an actual offer in hand?

    I guess I'm worried that if I wait, they will tell me that office is full because I waited too long and they wish they had known sooner. But maybe I'll have more leverage waiting to the end, after I've kicked ass, and then they won't want to lose me to another firm. (I've heard accounting firms can get jealous)

    Idk, any guidance on how I should handle this?

    If the business permits were paid for during the previous month(april) and the business and the opening entry in the general journal starts at june 1, how do you insert those expenses made?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 04:57 PM PST

    Its on a practice set and wondering how I should apply these expenses because the transactions were made the month before the business and the accounting period. Are they starting balance? Or is it expenses made by the owner hence it's separated from the company?

    The mythical exit op - non finance

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 04:36 PM PST

    Hey all, throwaway for reasons, but wanted to get some advice from the community. Currently B4 audit, HCOL but working remotely and I've been offered an Operations role in a fund (deliberately vagues). Should be less daily recs and month end closes and more product launches and tech transformation.

    As I've been indocrinated in the B4 ways, I wanted to get some advice on what I should be looking for in the contract. Any red flags from anyone with experience in moving onto the greener grass? Anything you wish you could have done differently?

    Salary bump will be 10%, with 30% bonus (ish) depending on performance. Same location, less likely to WFH but nice office/ perks etc.

    Thanks for the collective wisdom!

    Recent accounting and finance graduate (UK)

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 04:29 PM PST

    I graduated in 2020 and have only started recently taking job searching seriously, I graduated from Brunel University London with a 2:1.

    I've been applying to any and all accounting related roles. I don't have any accounting experience only retail experience.

    The pandemic is making things harder but I'm still determined to get a job. My degree gives me 8 exemptions from ACCA which I plan to pursue.

    I'm looking for any advice to help me get started, thanks.

    Software to file my own taxes?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 07:54 PM PST

    I am a tax intern, but I have never filed my own taxes. This year I would like to file my own taxes considering I've been filing taxes for others. I would like to know what software I should be using to do this. I have dividend income, stock income, and self-employment income I will have to pay taxes on.

    I know TurboTax is free, but do accountants use this program? Correct me if I'm wrong, I feel like TurboTax is for people who don't know what they're doing, or does everybody use it?

    Looking for advice for pursuing a career in accounting

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 03:45 PM PST

    I'm in my final year of a 3 year Business Management degree in the UK at university level. I'm not entirely sure what to do with regards to my career path but someone suggested accounting. I immediately said no way but after thinking about it it's becoming more and more appealing.

    In my first year of university I completed a beginners accounting module, to be completely honest I barely passed that class but mostly because I had zero interest then and didn't apply myself in the class.

    My knowledge of accounting is the very little amount of information I remember from that module and what Jason Bateman has taught me from Ozark on Netflix. As far as my mathematical knowledge goes, I'm a little rusty but when I get back in the swing of things I'm capable of picking up the pace and given enough time I can learn to do a lot of different formulas/ equations etc. If anyone has advice, tips or career advice please let me know
