Hello all! So I am scheduled to graduate next year with a Bachelors in accounting and will be taking my CPA exam right after graduation. I chose accounting a few years back as I love math and numbers. I have been doing pretty well in school and am loving what I am learning so far. My question is if it is even possible for me to start in accounting at the age of 31 with no experience? I did 4 years in the military from 20-24 and have done manual labor (currently getting $19.50/hour) ever since. What are some pointers to starting in this field? Thank you so much submitted by /u/LordOfTheHam [v ..read more

I’m 22 years old and I just started my current job a month ago as a Financial Counselor. I don’t wanna move up in this company I just used it to get my foot in the door with working in Finance.

To be honest, I am kinda of lost right now. I have been looking for a full-time accounting/tax position in Toronto since September 2023, and despite my efforts (many coffee chats with the recruiters and partners), I haven't secured a single in-person interview. I interned in audit at a small firm last summer, where I performed well enough to receive a return offer. I decided to pass on the offer, aiming for a taste at the Big 4 instead—a decision I'm starting to question in hindsight. And I just graduated from the school and officially jobless. From what I've heard through friends at both big ..read more

I’m in industry for a family company and was given a “promotion” but in lieu of a raise I got a week more vacation. For my controller to sway me she negotiated that I could take a 2 week vacation a year into the position which I agreed but she surprisingly said that even in 12 years she’s never taken 2 weeks. On top of that my predecessor also boasts of how lucky I am to be able to get those two weeks off and when I questioned if that was standard or not she said no not at all across all employers. Are you not entitled to your vacation how you want to use them? Sure 2-3 weeks during busy seas ..read more

Currently sitting here at the end of the day after doing like 3 hours of work total and I don’t know what to put on my timesheet. The thing is I actually have a lot to do but I’m waiting for my manager to review several projects before I can move on and am waiting on clients for all my other projects. I asked for work to do in the meantime but no one has anything. We are only allowed to have 30 minutes unbillable per day so I don’t even know what to put on my timesheet lol. Gotta love public accounting when you can’t even enjoy the downtime at work… submitted by /u/LiteratureGlass8859 [visit ..read more
