| What happens if you just don’t go back to work Posted: 29 Dec 2021 07:53 AM PST Like what happens if I just quit. Nothing right ? Like if I just never showed myself again and moved on. Besides losing references obviously. I don't know how to quit [link] [comments] | ||
| Are you an Accountant or an "Accountant" ? Posted: 29 Dec 2021 09:24 AM PST Recently when I tell people that I'm an accontant, they ask, "are you an accountant or an accountant?". I was confused when I first encountered this question. Someone had to explain to me that being an accountant could also mean that you have an only fans. This is like the modern day "can you do my taxes?" Do you guys also get asked the same question? [link] [comments] | ||

| Best Accounting Professions for someone who likes to help? Posted: 29 Dec 2021 06:12 AM PST I just get a huge dopamine hit when someone is in a huge panic asking for help and I'm able to give them a helping hand and in some way reduce their stress. I worked in AR for roughly 2 1/2 years and I found that I was either extremely beloved or absolutely despised. I get it, AR (Collections) can be like that. No hard feelings, it's the nature of the job. If someone needed an invoice to be sent out yesterday, my name was the one they reached out to, not my boss / manager (who would often let such requests sit in his mailbox for days if not weeks unanswered). I just genuinely want to help people without eating the shit or "flak" from something like a customer support role where it can be a mixed bag, often leaning towards unpleasantness... I know for most of you this might be a strange ask, but any particular roles / positions you feel are indispensable to a corporate environment without being a punching bag for when things go wrong? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks, r/Accounting stay cool [link] [comments] | ||
| Have you negotiated your offer at the Big 4? Posted: 29 Dec 2021 07:26 AM PST I'm curious if anyone at the Big 4 has done a counter offer to their original offer. My friend was offered 65k as incoming staff, he didn't negotiate. Another one of my friends got an offer and asked if he could maybe get a little more, they took his offer away and said "if you ask for more then you'll never really be satisfied with your pay so we're revoking your offer". I was wondering if any of you guys negotiated and how you went about it. **Update: I see most of you said that you can't negotiate even with multiple internship experience. So this is my new question: •What do you do if your friend got offered 65k and you got offered 60k? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 29 Dec 2021 08:54 AM PST Just a happy post about a cool realization that made me realize maybe I don't hate accounting all that much. I remember in school, balancing a 5 line JE was scary. I just realized that I've been balancing a 90 line JE every day, and I can do while only staring at my pivot tables and not even looking at the JE itself. I feel very proud of myself because maybe I dont suck after all. I understand this may seem like rookie business but I was an inventory accountant in the military for 2 years - and I'm only 1 year into accounting on the financial side, and I feel really good - even though the impostor syndrome still takes over a lot and I feel lost… even though my CFO enjoys my reporting and I do a great job. shrug [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Dec 2021 09:29 AM PST If so, after hearing their mostly "bullshit" answers, then do you press more into their responses? For example, I have gotten some very typical responses such as "I really like accounting because of the critical thinking aspect" or "Accounting is the language of business." The former, I would reply with the question of why specifically accounting if you like to think critically since there are many other occupations out there that require critical thinking skills. The latter, I would ask them about what business or businesses are they currently interested in and why. Often times, I can see the color drained from their faces once you exhausted their rehearsed replies. I remember one candidate responded with "I don't know...accounting just happened for me..." eh... Personally, I would be completely neutral if a candidate responded with that they were pragmatic and chose accounting because of the opportunities in the job market. That or the stable income and benefits that came with the field. That's fine, those aren't exactly creative answers, but it shows they can be truthful and honest, which the occupation needs.

| I have 2 industry offers but both are less than my current comp. I hate my current position at B4 Posted: 29 Dec 2021 09:08 AM PST I posted on here a bit ago about contemplating leaving my current position. For some background/tl;dr: Currently: B4 Tax, 2 years 1 month experience. MCOL (Cincinnati office). I will receive Senior promotion on 1/3/22. My salary will jump from $66k to $86k. I also have a $4k retention bonus that will kick in on 7/1/22. So $90k if I'm there by 7/1/22. We are currently fully virtual. No CPA but some exams passed. Staying for the CPA being paid is not a factor whatsoever in my decision making currently. I have been interviewing with two companies; A & B. Info below: Company A: $300M rev, Company is involved in IB services. I would be a Senior Accountant with a team of only myself and the Tax Manager. Hours were advertised as 40-45 year round. Salary was negotiated and would not go above $80,750 + $5,500k signing bonus. Company B: $230M rev, Real Estate background. I have no REIT experience (this was stressed and assured not an issue). Position would be a Senior Tax Analyst role with again, a tax team of myself and the Tax Manager. Hours were advertised as approx. 60 hrs a week in January and standard otherwise for the rest of the year. Salary is $82k + $2,500 signing bonus. For the most part Company A has been my interest but I know next to nothing about REIT to know if the niche experience I would gain would pay dividends down the road. Would it be dumb to accept a position for a pay decrease? I have been a bit turned off by both positions due to this but I was wondering if I'm being too picky here. [link] [comments] | ||
| Need help choosing an exam study pathway for Big4 Grad Programme (UK) Posted: 29 Dec 2021 08:29 AM PST Hey all :) I've recently accepted an offer with PwC as an Audit Associate in their London office starting Spring 2022. The firm offers 2 different study pathways you can complete the ACA exam on:
I can see benefits and drawbacks to both, and while I was initially set on choosing the blended pathway but now the thought of needing to revise for exams during busy season seems unmanageable. At the same time, 12 exams in 6 months sounds very intense. Advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation would be much appreciated! [link] [comments] | ||
| To those of you in Public, how many hours did you bill this year? Posted: 29 Dec 2021 09:43 AM PST I'll go first. 1st year staff- early promotion to Senior in November(raise to 70k mcol). Billed 1800 hours and overall felt I was able to mitigate burnout with 5 weeks of PTO and a reasonable work life balance. Would love to hear what other are experiencing. Also to note my firm has a 55 hour minimum during busy season(worked not billed) and there is no minimum billing requirement but most are between 1600-2K with only a couple getting up to 2K. Small firm 95% public clients. Thanks and may the excel 2008 guide forever be with you. [link] [comments] | ||
| What kind of securities do you invest in as an auditor? Posted: 28 Dec 2021 08:15 PM PST | ||
| Keep a super easy job to get through school, or pursue a more challenging job to further my career? Posted: 29 Dec 2021 07:29 AM PST Looking for opinions about working while still in school. I currently have a fully remote position with a managerial accounting firm. I started as an associate and was promoted quickly-- over 18 months I went from $36k to $55k plus around $8k in bonuses. I only have to bill 30 hours/week and the work is pretty stress free aside from some incompetent co-workers. I'm in school full time as well, and so far have kept a 4.0gpa. My question is whether I should just keep this relatively cushy job while I finish school (2 more years) or continue trying to find something that is more engaging. My current firm is really just glorified bookkeeping-- we don't do audit or tax. For slightly more context, I changed careers about 2 years ago after 10 years in hospitality management. I am not adverse to long hours, but want to have a modicum of a life while keeping my GPA up and earning a decent living. Appreciate any thoughts you might have! TIA [link] [comments] | ||
| When to give my 2 week notice? I have accepted a job offer with the start date on January 24 Posted: 29 Dec 2021 08:45 AM PST Me leaving right now is very very bad for the team as they are having issues hiring (but idk if thats due to them being cheap because they revenue has doubled last year) I loved working here however im not going to pass a 25% increase in a different job working hybrid and a 8% bonus. My current job has only 2% bonus. My boss is on vacation until the 4, should i wait until he comes back to give the notice? i dont want to ruin his vacation. I also have a good personal relationship with the CEO's family so any advice is appreciated [link] [comments] | ||

| AP & AR education resources for small business operations Posted: 29 Dec 2021 06:38 AM PST Hi /r/Accounting, I head up operations for a small but growing professional services business. We have no accounting-specific role within the company, and to this point all of our AP and AR work has been done by the owner and a couple others including myself who have no accounting background. We use QuickBooks and a number of homegrown spreadsheets to manage all of the numbers. The company has been around for a while and our informal practices have been sufficient to keep the business running. I have an IT and project management background and have recently been moved into a role over all of operations - including AP & AR - and can see that we need to beef up on our general practices as well as potentially look at moving away from managing everything in spreadsheets and into a system of some sort. I'm looking for help on the following:
At some point I know we will need to either hire someone in or get some consulting help to handle some of these functions, but I think there is a lot of low hanging fruit that I can probably take care of in the near term if I can skill up in some key areas. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions and insights! [link] [comments] |
