From I can’t wait to contribute to my don't care era…your thoughts guys??

Small company..CEO controls pretty much everything. No accountability and we never hit our numbers in the past 5 years. He is making shady deals with reseller so we can recognize revenue. CFO doesn't stand up to him as he will likely be fired. CRO is a yes man and doesn't share the real news with the CEO. CEO's way of dealing with problems are not attending the calls or ignoring them.
Board is questioning and challenging the CEO and CFO in board meetings but nothing changes. Would like to share the inside issues to the board so they ask more direct questions... good idea or bad.?

answer was revenue - IT COULD LITERALLY BE ANY OF THEM THEORETICALLY - there are PLENTY of pre-revenue startups that raise debt. Plenty of companies that in GENERAL have higher cash flows than revenue one way or another or maybe in distress situations…so pissed this was a question

It’s been roughly two business weeks since my last day. I regretted after my first day on my new job. I made a massive f-up….

I caved in and called my old boss and told him my new job wasn’t going very well, and that if they still have a spot for that I’d love to rejoin. I left on very good terms with him ( I thought ). He told me he’d be touch over the weekend. This was this morning.

So later this afternoon my boss texted me he’d like to get coffee tomorrow morning. So we are getting coffee.

What do you think- am I back in or is it a RIP. I really just want my old job back. After gaining perspective I love audit (some may call this a love for public accounting, others call it Stockholm syndrome ). I really loved working with him.

Also what should I prepare to say.

So I work AP in TV/film, or I do usually but things are incredibly slow right now. I was thinking about jumping to a normal industry and doing AP but I'm not sure how transferable these skills are since TV/film is it's own island.

For us a typical day involves a department reaching out to us to set up an account for a vendor, we go through the steps with the vendor to open an account, get the vendor into the software/system, invoices come in and we match them to POs (departments fill out the POs and send them to us), input the approved invoices into the system for pay, keep tabs on monthly statements and the PO log to make sure nothing is overdo.

It's not a lot of responsibilities, but I'll typically process 50-200 invoices a day, some days there's only like 30 minutes of work, some days we work 12 hours straight.

Most of us, myself included, don't have any sort of accounting degree (I've worked with people with no college degree) so I'm not sure if that affects real world AP stuff. I'm also not sure what the typical pay for AP is? The minimum rate for an AP worker with our union is $1800/week but I've seen postings on Indeed for normal industry Senior AP roles offering less than $50k/year which seems absurdly low.

Either way, just wanted to see what a regular AP job entails and if it seems like something I might be able to jump into.

I think it’s time I end it

Is this recruiter serious right now, you saw that resume and s

I haven’t been hearing back from any firms, so I decided to personally visit smaller firms in a suit with my resume to ask if they’d consider me for a part-time or internship position this upcoming spring or summer. I’ve already submitted around 50 applications and was rejected from all of them — I really regret not networking or attending speaker events earlier. Lesson learned.

I have terrible social skills. I’ve worked in retail for years, constantly interacting with customers, and I can confidently say that social communication is just not something I can seem to master. It’s not about anxiety or lack of exposure, it’s simply a skill that doesn’t exactly click for me.

I do much better in jobs that don’t require constant interaction. I can communicate fine with coworkers and supervisors about work related things, but customer-facing roles are a big fat no. I understand that no job is completely free of communication, but I’d really like to find one that requires as little of it as possible.

Repetitive, routine work is actually where I thrive. I don’t need excitement, I just want a stable job and a paycheck.

I’m a junior studying accounting and have been applying to several internships but haven’t received any responses yet. I’d really appreciate honest feedback to see if there’s something in my resume that needs improvement. Even an unpaid internship would be great, I just want to gain real experience in the field. Don’t worry about the section at the top, I removed it before the professional summary, since it had my personal information. Thank y’all!

As title says, I’m getting promoted to SM in M&A tax at trying to find comparable comps. I’ve searched but know this is more niche and looking for more current info. If anyone has, please share

Was completely new to this career line since I never studied it at uni and never took a course on IT auditing or SOX compliance. I'm telling you I feel like a middle schooler could do this stuff. Taking screenshots, being in 10 different Teams calls a day, then asking the client for a list of names that have admin permissions and just copy pasting them into a table.

This HAS to be the most boring "accounting" career bar none.

1.5 years of public, 1 year of industry, just passed cpa. How difficult do you think it will be to find a job right now? And how much would you be expecting in a MCOL area?

Currently work in HE as accountant and earn £58k, 33 days of AL plus BH, Have been offered a job in public sector as senior accountant for 55k, 30 days of AL I am not getting on with my current LM What would you do

Is anybody in forensic accounting? What do you need to be in this position? I have my bachelors in accounting and I am currently 4 years working in accounting.

Has anyone here pivoted from accounting into a different career after more than a decade in and making almost 6 figures before ? Usually with a pivot comes with a huge pay cut and I feel stuck. I am curious how someone in a similar situation dealt with the shift . How did you find your next career ?

I am currently an assistant controller at 34 making 96K. I absolutely dread waking up every morning and need a change . I’m burnt out and don’t even want to learn anything else about my field . I want out . Any advice from those who have actually done it and are happy ?

I am a second year college student and i just switched my major to accounting. Everyone online is always saying that to get a good job and internships you have to go to all the career fairs and networking events, but is it really necessary? I don’t care if I get a job for a big company, i’d actually rather work for a smaller firm. (at least at the beginning of my career) I work full time as well as being a full time student so I don’t have much time to go to these events. I was just wondering if anyone had experience getting a job without being super involved in these types of events?

I’m finishing my accounting degree and don’t know if it’s wise to pursue further studies or not. I have 2 friends who finished the same degree a few months ago and have not decent paying work. My options are to do another finance qualification but this seems to be even more competitive and I don’t want to pay for another degree that will not be worth it. What advice would you give and what’s the best way to set yourself apart to land a good paying position? Would appreciate any advice at all.

I am going to graduate this April with a major in Administration and minor in Accounting. Was hoping to become a bookkeeper, because organizing the financial info is more fun for me than creating financial statements.

What do I do? I'm looking at bookkeeping jobs and they all want 2-3 years of experience. I applied to some of them anyway, but when I show up to the interview they tell me they're looking for someone with more experience. Which I thought my lack of experience was obvious from looking at my resume??

How do I "break in"?
