    Interviewed for a bookkeeping position to get my foot in the industry today...

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 01:49 PM PST

    "We're like a family here."

    "Unlimited PTO means not stressing out your family or our family."

    "You're obviously really good at talking to people (worked in food/customer/management for 12 years)...are you going to be able to get the work done or are you going to want to talk?"

    "How long do you see yourself staying with us? Are you going to leave when you get your Bachelor's degree?"

    ​

    FUCKING WOOF, no wonder y'all are so funny. I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.

    Anyone else feel like 2021 has been a nonstop busy season?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 01:55 PM PST

    My actual audit busy season lasted from January through June, then we had a slight break working normal 40 hours per week during summer. But I've been working busy season hours for the last 2 months now again and it's likely to continue again through June of next year. Newly promoted senior and I should have left this summer while I had a chance because now I don't even have time to interview.

    Anbody else already dreading Monday?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 12:25 PM PST

    Much like the Xanax I crushed up and smacked off the toilet seat a Buffolo Wild Wings on my lunch break, busy season is starting to kick in for philanthropy gang. Do I know what a credit or debit is? Absolutely not, but do I know what contributions and disbursements are? Still no, but I process them all them time, and volumes for contributions are starting to get wild. Remember kids, something something rich people donations tax write off before the end of the year

    Loss of Income Journal Entry

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 05:31 AM PST

    I need some advice on handling the accounting for loss of income - or if I enter it at all. I own a small private school where my students receive scholarships to attend. The scholarships policy is that I must invoice full tuition and fees to all students equally. On my invoice I invoice the full annual tuition and fees, then I have a line which deducts the entire amount of the scholarship. I have a family that lost the scholarship and I will not receive any of the funds. Assuming the family will not have the ability to pay the full tuition, how do I account for this loss of income? I usually put bad debts in a 'bad debt' expense account, would this be considered the same thing?

    Please help - I am not even sure if I am making sense! Thank you

    Is it normal for accounting firms to have retreats?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 06:43 PM PST

    Hi! So I'll give a quick preface. I work at a pretty medium sized firm. My firm is pretty decent with employee involvement… there are so many parties that sometimes it feels like it is difficult to get any actual work done if you know what I mean! (🤣)

    I have been working for roughly 5 years now and have gotten pretty low tier raises every year (~1%) per year. The boss is pretty intrusive. The benefits aren't all great.

    They recently said that they are setting up a company retreat for us. Given the weird progression we've had with raises, is a retreat a normal thing for the company to set up?

    How to transition OUT of project accounting

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 11:47 PM PST

    I am looking to transition out of project accounting, into a new field. I have done PA for an AEC company for 2.5 years (first job). What are my options for a new career path? Is there a way to transition into compliance/healthcare admin/contract management? What are other alternatives?

    Looking for something that I will find personally fulfilling (yes, this is subjective) and has earning potential of $100K/year.

    Thank you!

    MNP or Deloitte?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 06:01 AM PST

    Mnp is offering 11k more in salary than Deloitte (Toronto). But it seems like Deloitte has better exit opps and better clientele.

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    [CAN] CPA Pre-Approved Program PERT

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 07:46 PM PST

    I've been going over the PERT information and its not entirely clear to either me what exactly (if anything) I need to do right now. I've registered in PEP on Nov 15 and have done the orientation quiz and registered my current job in PERT, which my company has confirmed. My job's start date was June of 2020, which is accurately recorded.

    From what I can see, if I stay in this program for 18 more months (so May of 2023, which would be 30 months including my prior 12 months of experience) that's the only time I'll need to fill out a PERT report? Right at the end? If anyone who has recently gone through this could lay it out for me, that would be helpful, as my firm's CPA mentor went through the old CA program and is just as confused by the CPA documentation as I am.

    Exit opps for Big 4 Federal Tax?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 08:53 PM PST

    What does the typical exit at senior with CPA look like as far as company, role, salary and hours etc. Also, what are some more common ways that people pivot out of tax at this point? Is it possible to do this without a pay cut?

    (Singapore context) I need to get an accountant to verify and sign a Payslip for the past few months for my company. What documents will be required? Is showing them my past CPF Contribution enough?

    Left Big 4 and hate accounting - where to go from here?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 05:11 PM PST

    As the title says, I recently left a Big 4 firm after two years. (Exp audit Associate). I worked super hard, had decent performance reviews. But in my second year, it became such a shitshow as people began to abandon ship and I could see what my future looked like: help bail all the audits out and work busy season hours all year long without much of a raise. And honestly, I really had come to hate accounting. I worked to get my CPA but after three 1-2 point misses on FAR on top of the aforementioned Big 4 nonsense and some very serious family health issues, I just couldn't force myself to give a damn about that anymore either. So! If you had my experience, but wanted something much less stressful, toxic and competitive and didn't have a CPA, what would you do? My degree is technically in Business Administration (with a specialization in accounting). Thank you so much for all advice and wisdom!
