    Impossible deadlines

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 07:59 PM PST

    Firm is understaffed. Took over the file from some senior who of course did nothing for 1 month. So just because the reporting deadline to Holding company is an impossible date (1 week after receiving Management Accounts for the whole file), I ended up having to rush everything out. Boss is a micro manager who asks for calls three time a day to update on the status. Only have one staff who is being shared on another file.

    I don't get how people set boundaries in Public Accounting. I've told the manager multiple times that I need to work on other files (and of course sleep and rest) over the weekends and the deadline is impossible, but they still are rushing me like mad. Even the partner is busy complaining about how 'slow' the progress is. I'm just at the point of saying, fuck this, if the deadline is not getting met then not my problem. Find someone else then.

    So sleepy that I don't even know what I'm doing rn.

    Putting in my 2 weeks?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 07:51 PM PST

    Hello Accounting Reddit,

    My name is Jess. Some background on me I'm 24 years old, been in public accounting for 1 year, this was my first job out of college, and I have my master's degree. I'm looking for some advice/validation. I'm wondering if I'm making the wrong decision as I plan to put in my 2 weeks on Monday.

    I've cried constantly for the past year and more so during this past week. My supervisor likes to gaslight me and tell me I suck at projects and that I do poorly on budgeting. Yet, he always hounds me to make sure I'm always hitting the budget for the month. Except if I'm overbudgeting he will literally show me how he moves all the hours around in the system. He even sent a message asking why I'm doing training videos when I literally have wrapped up my work on all my clients and am waiting for items as I don't want to charge the client and go over budget. He wants me to be working charge hours constantly when I don't even have work to work on. Keep in mind I'm the only one who gets this treatment in the whole office as he is a new supervisor. There have been many other instances where he talks down at me and just thinks I'm not very smart.

    We also have a "career coach". My career coach is female and lately she's also been hounding me for not staying late enough in the office. I usually come to the office at 7am and was working a bit longer during the week due to busy projects. However, on Friday I decided to leave a bit early to go to an event and I guess it was my fault for not informing her. (I've never had a problem with it before and neither has anyone else, shes also not my supervisor so I don't need to report to her) She stormed me on Monday and kept asking where I was and that I should always be at my desk. This is why I feel like a lot of the females at my office sit and eat at their desk and never leave. (We only have like 5 female associates/seniors). I've told her I come in early and I've stayed late all week but apparently, she never cared or knew that I came in early/stayed late.

    Besides this instance its been common for other coworkers to treat me this way as well. A senior always asking where I am even though I'm online. Even called me ugly in the elevator with a bunch of other male coworkers. Even the intern harassed me to go to dinner with him. Just a combination of many many things over the year.

    Overall, I feel extremely micromanaged by everyone. I feel like I should be doing better but the way my supervisor has treated me over the year has just traumatized me. My mental health has been awful and I've been crying nonstop. I stopped eating lunch at work and opt for sitting at my desk in case my career coach needs me for whatever reason. I feel so trapped and alone as none of my other coworkers are experiencing this. I'm scared to leave because what if I end up somewhere worse or can't find a good job. I want to be happy and free from this but I'm also scared of regret. What do you guys think? Also sorry this is just so long!

    Quitting Big 4 Tax Before Getting a Job Offer

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 07:25 PM PST

    Hey guys, hope y'all are doing well. Just wanted to know what you beautiful people's take is on my current situation:

    ​

    I've been at big 4 tax for one year exactly. I started job searching a few weeks ago and have had plenty of interviews for non-tax industry accounting roles but no offers that I like yet. My goal is to get out of tax ASAP.

    Is there any good reason I shouldn't just quit my job now? I know it's best practice to only quit once you have another job lined up but I am so stressed and done with my firm right now. I've been coasting but I can tell people on my team are starting to notice and things are only going to get busier from now. I originally planned on quitting whenever I get a decent job offer even if it's in the middle of busy season - is there any real negative to just doing the deed now (maybe they'll be less bridge burning lol)? I have a decent amount of money saved to survive off of also.

    ​

    Thank you for reading.

    Convicted Felon, Future CPA (Hopefully)

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 06:54 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    My plan was to make this post after I passed all four exams (Regarding licensing) but it seems I may not even be able to sit for the exams in the first place. I graduated with a bachelors in Accounting. I filled out my application for my CPA exam and received a notice back from NASBA (See Attached). Any advice on how I could present my convictions in a way where I could still sit for my CPA Exam? These convictions were when I had just graduated high school (18 years old) ... I'm a college graduate now. (24 years old) My convictions are as follows:

    Possession of Marijuana over 2 ounces but under 5 pounds (3rd Degree Felony)

    Terroristic Threat to commit crime of violence (3rd Degree Felony)

    I am going to provide some details regarding these felonies, essentially my younger sister, who was 16 years old at the time of this incident was angry with me and wanted to essentially get me 'in trouble'. She called the cops on me saying I had weed in the house, and my terroristic threat to my sister... is "i'ma smack you". This is shown on the Superior Courts stenographers transcript which I can provide to NASBA, but I am unsure if I should provide all the details or just keep it really general.

    I understand that we can speculate all we want on Reddit as to whether I will be able to be sit for the exam or not, but my state is really the one that would provide me that answer, I just want to know the best way I can present my case to them given the scenarios.

    Edit: Forgot to mention that weed is now legal in my state, it was however illegal at the time I was convicted.

    Please advise.

    Recording walkthroughs for 1st years/ Interns

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 06:40 PM PST

    In big 4 why don't more seniors and managers record themselves doing a walkthrough and send it to the new people on the team. Saves time for the senior and manager not having to physically do this each busy season and makes it easy for new hires to slowly go at there own pace instead of being rushed through and than having a million questions. If a new hire has questions after they will of had them anyways but you might just save your self a couple hours.

    Just a word or two to PAs.

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 05:40 AM PST

    To any public accountants out there that are struggling or feeling overwhelmed:

    It is not the only option. You can and do have the option to work in private accounting. Not only is it usually less stressful, especially compared to B4, but it is also a hot market right now.

    If you want to make the jump, there has never been a better time.

    Best of luck!

    PS - though I've only been in private accounting for 3 years between two small to mid size companies… I only average about 32 hours a week of work (25 real hours). I have also been able to increase my salary from 47k to 70k in only 2.5 years. Without a CPA or bachelors degree. The market is insane right now if you have good tech skills and learn quickly.

    If I can do it, any PA with audit experience and a degree could do it, probably easier. You don't have to feel stuck.

    If negotiating a new salary for new role could you counter with your concern of rising current inflation to get a few extra thousand dollars on your offer?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2022 09:02 PM PST

    Would this be a reasonable way to negotiate getting a little bit higher starting salary or just avoid bringing this up at all costs?
