I got prizewinner for Case Study ACA and i’m so happy! Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:31 AM PDT Hi guys just thought I'd share this achievement with you as I'm so super overwhelmed I passed my final 3 ACA exams and got the highest mark in the world case study (86). None of my friends get accounting really so won't understand how cool this is for me so I thought I'd share with you all too as I genuinely still can't process it. I've never had anything great like this happen to me before so I'm just so so happy. Hope everyone else getting ACA results on Friday got what you were hoping for!!!! For those of you yet to do finals I can confirm the wait is worth it! Stay strong! [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:30 AM PDT I need some advice or just a listening ear... I have been at my regional firm for a year. In that time no one has really tried to get to know me. I feel the girls in my department (audit) are very cliquey. I thought it was because they have known each other for a few years, but this girl started a few months after me and fit right in with them. I have tried to ask them together and individually with no luck. They say they can't and will let me know when is a good time and never follow up. I am friends with one girl that almost no one likes at the firm. I have autism spectrum disorder (low end of the spectrum) and this girl lets me be 100% myself, so I appreciate her friendship despite her flaws. However, I feel like I have been blacklisted from the other girls because I am friends with this one girl. I have literally found out about "audit happy hours" that literally everyone is invited to but me and this other girl. I don't know what to do. I am not comfortable ditching this one girl just to get people to like me. I have brought up the issue to my partner in charge but this stuff is so petty I don't want to bother him anymore about it. Any suggestions? Should I just move on and worry about myself? [link] [comments] | ||
What advice would you give to accounting students as the 2021 fall semester starts? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:13 AM PDT What is something you wish you knew in college, regret doing or not doing, wish you had done more of, or any underrated/overshadowed info? Any advice at all is appreciated! [link] [comments] | ||
Any advice for a 1st year auditor at a smaller CPA firm? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 06:53 PM PDT Just completed my masters, beginning to study for FAR and starting as a first year auditor at a smaller CPA firm. I have no prior internship experience because it got cancelled due to covid. Any advice welcome! Much appreciated! [link] [comments] | ||
Have to be careful of people who talk a lot about teamwork. Posted: 29 Aug 2021 05:22 PM PDT | ||
I want to start finding clients for bookkeeping, but my lack of tax skills worries me Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:38 PM PDT I'm a CPA and have several years of complex accounting experience. I feel totally comfortable on the accounting side but I have zero professional experience in tax. I barely do my own taxes. I want to grow a bookkeeping practice for small businesses while I work my full-time job alongside, but I'm worried about my tax knowledge. I figure I can just sell my service as bookkeeping only but if I was a small business owner, it would make more sense to have a bookkeeper who will also help with their tax? It just seems logical. I don't mind research tax codes all day if that's what it takes but I just don't have the confidence to answer even the simple questions on the spot regarding tax. Can I do this? Are there better ideas? Goal is to ditch the W-2 job in the next 5-10 years [link] [comments] | ||
HR reading all my IMs and Emails? Or am I just losing my mind? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 10:13 AM PDT I've been here a full year at this point. Is it possible that a partner (or someone in HR?) is reading all my IMs and emails? I feel like I'm being monitored. I keep getting put on terrible projects as well. As soon as I have a week under 50 hours, I'm transferred to another project with 60+ hours. I don't know anyone else who is working these types of hours in our department. I have aspergers and my sarcasm sometimes comes off wrong. I know that I accidentally offended a recruiter the year before I started full time and since then I feel like there's a target on me. The people I chat with also hate this job and are looking for other jobs, so I am confident they aren't selling me out. I've also known them since college so I can trust them. Things I said on chat are being repeated back to me passive-aggressively.
I can go on and on - things like this keep happening constantly. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Are the long hours getting to me? Or is it possible that someone is actually reading everything I write in chat and email? [link] [comments] | ||
When pwc offices reopen sept 13, would teams make you go in on select days? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:49 PM PDT Or is it more so that we have the option to go in the office to work? [link] [comments] | ||
Industry Accountants: Would you rather… Posted: 29 Aug 2021 02:53 PM PDT Go back to public, or take your ex back? But seriously, what are pro/cons of industry. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 29 Aug 2021 11:25 AM PDT Anyone else feel like me 2 weeks out? With the cap 2 cases basically done, I've accepted that I'm never going to feel completely "prepared" for this exam and keep telling myself I've done what I can to prepare. I feel pretty OK with my case writing. I am just so over this now, think I'm just gonna focus on technical review (use densmore workbook) and also taking a few days off for labour day to get out of town to avoid burn out… Does anyone else feel the same way where they are just so over preparing for the cfe now?

My Next Move: Big 4 vs. Industry Accounting (CPA) Posted: 29 Aug 2021 04:22 PM PDT Hey everyone! Here's some quick info about me. I'm currently in Canada, and I want to get a CPA. I'm going to graduate from my undergrad in 2022. As I'm entering into my last year in university, I have two full time options for myself: a full time position at a telecom company with a pre-approved CPA rotational program, or a full time position at a Big 4 company. Here are the starting salaries:
My main objective is to determine that after 5 years, if I was potentially a manager at the Big 4, would I be earning more than what I would be making at a telecom company? We all know that the promotions are great at Big 4, while limited at industry firms whereas you would have to wait until a senior position opens up. I have a good idea of how promotions and pay raises work in Big 4, but I do not know how they are for industry firms. My less prioritized objective is to leverage my CPA with tech companies, preferably in the US. I believe it's a given that working at Big 4 gives you a better exit opportunity in this case, but what about working from a telecom company, and then going to a somewhat similar role at Google, for example? Would really like some advice on this, as I have read a lot of posts on Reddit, and talked to many people, but the candid conversations for specific questions asked on here would probably be the most valuable for me at this point.

Can anyone explain how to decide if a transaction is debit or credit? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 05:41 PM PDT From my understanding, debit is an increase in assets or a decrease in liabilities and credit is a decrease in assets or an increase in owner's equity/liabilities. My issue is all transactions have to have the opposite effect on the other side of the income statement. For example, you make $100 in revenue; that is an increase in assets and an increase in owner's equity, so how would you decide if it is debit or credit? (My book says credit but I don't fully understand why). [link] [comments] | ||
[CAN] Do you think CPA offering two CFEs in a year will lower the pass rates? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 07:11 PM PDT It makes sense that they would do this, to average out the passing number of candidates each year. I hope they don't, since it wouldn't be fair to the writers :( [link] [comments] | ||
How do YOU fight burnout? [serious] Posted: 29 Aug 2021 10:21 PM PDT I had a brutal last year and a half while my company was in major crisis mode during COVID. We made it through and are stabilizing and the outlook is much better from a work and stress standpoint. That said, I'm burned out. I took a couple weeks off over the past month or so (first PTO in the year in a half) and the time away was great, but after returning I'm still feeling that unmistakable, sense of utter dread and lack of motivation. I like the nature of the job, my coworkers are good, my pay is great, my benefits are fantastic, I've got great career progression prospects, and my boss has heard loud and clear that I need to ramp hours way down - and is very actively rebalancing work and taking lower-level time consuming tasks off my plate as the company hires back up after last year's COVID layoffs. In other words, I know that I want to stay in my current job and I have a little leverage to work with. So, how do YOU fight burnout? [link] [comments] | ||
What is the biggest “Do as I say, not as I do?” you’ve told a staff or intern? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:06 PM PDT My new hire buddy asked me how many monitors he/she should have for busy season. I got a monitor when we started WFH in March 2020 and have barely used it. While other seniors have 3+ extra screens at their home offices, I've gotten through fall and spring busy seasons just sitting on the couch with my laptop. Needless to say, I did not recommend this approach to my buddy. [link] [comments] | ||
Where to find an accountant skilled in cryptoassets? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:03 PM PDT Pretty much sums it up. Anyone know where to find a CPA or accounting expert who specializes or has a strong feel for cryptoasset taxation? [link] [comments] | ||
Need advice from switching from an Accounting degree to Finance Posted: 29 Aug 2021 09:06 AM PDT Im currently majoring in accounting and have gotten up to Intermediate Accounting 2. This is my 2nd time taking the class and Im starting to believe accounting is not for me. It very boring and this class is somewhat difficult. Im wondering if Finance is really my route. Ive enjoyed my finance courses so far. Is switching from Accounting to Finance easy? What are Finance jobs like? Is A finance major easier than an accounting major? Are there any other subs on Reddit for people studying/working in the finance field? [link] [comments] | ||
Questions on next steps on career Posted: 29 Aug 2021 01:16 PM PDT Hi everyone, I am a long-time lurker here but I finally broke that because I had a question recently and was unsure what to do but thought Reddit would be able to help. I am currently working as a "consultant" (Read: internal audit) at everyone's favorite Big 4 (unlimited PTO) for 1.5 years and I am kind of stuck on what to do. I want to make the next career move and go into industry as a staff accountant but I am worried that my internal audit experience won't take me far because you hear that this type of experience will typically pigeonhole you into exit opportunities in internal audit. I have worked for 1.5 years at a smaller public accounting firm before this so now I have 3 years total of work experience. So my question is: should I still try to make it into an industry jobs as a staff/senior accountant? Or should I apply to another Big 4 as a experienced hire for external audit and then try to make the industry jump? To be honest, I am not very career oriented and I am the "work to live" type of gal if it helps. Thank you reddit! [link] [comments] | ||
How to handle bookkeeping for a company that does hundreds of millions of transactions per year? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 12:19 PM PDT Think high frequency market makers like Citadel Securities or Virtu Financial. They execute millions of trades every day. Do you ignore individual trades entirely in this case, and just rely on broker statements that show realized profit/loss at the end of the day? [link] [comments] | ||
Current Accounting Major Thinking of Changing Posted: 29 Aug 2021 05:17 PM PDT Little back story, skip to 'Currently' if uninterested: I originally went to school for civil engineering, love numbers and building things. Did not finish that degree and dropped out due to some trauma. Got a job with a financial who helps to pay for college. Decided on accounting, don't have to remember calculus but get to enjoy excel and numbers and a little problem solving. Currently: most of my resume (and current position) is in leadership/Management and I'm working on my acct degree part time. Currently a junior-ish. My question to you all after being in this sub a little while (cause you don't always paint a pretty picture, but sometimes a good fit for me): Accounting Major with a minor in business admin (would be 3 extra courses) Or Business administration with a minor in accounting (not sure how many extra courses but more than 3)? I'm interested in both and don't mind extending my time in school since I'm already a non-traditional part time student anyway. My thoughts so far: More $$$ in management up front, but more stress Less $$$ upfront but decent potential in accounting, possibly more stress upfront but less midway in career if I do it right? Edited punctuation. [link] [comments] | ||

Where can I find the 2021 California income tax bracket? Posted: 29 Aug 2021 08:50 PM PDT I've been doing income tax only during the tax season but this time I had to do some estimated tax due to unusual income. But I noticed a lot of 2021 tax forms aren't available yet when it's already more than halfway into the year 2021. For example, try searching for federal form 2210 or California form 5805 for the year 2021. I can't even find the California tax bracket for the year 2021. (Fortunately, the federal is available https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-provides-tax-inflation-adjustments-for-tax-year-2021) This CA website only lists 2019 and 2020 (https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/tax-calculator-tables-rates.asp) Is this normal or am I just suck at Googling these? I assumed all these tax rules would be announced before the start of the year. I'm looking for docs from the official website (irs.gov or ftb.ca.gov) How can we accurately pay estimates when we don't know what the bracket is? :O Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||
