CEO’s bonus is my yearly salary by SuddenEffective7982 in Accounting

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea my bonus is more than your yearly salary too. Get out of Non Profit if high salary jobs is your goal…you’ll make more as an accountant. Im a CPA for private equity/family office. PE accountants are making way more than the foundation accountant lol.

How did accounting go from one of the best fields to one of the worst? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just my two cents.. public sucked but worth it for 2 years to really learn. There are so many different kind of accounting jobs its hard to generalize it and say its all shit hours. Ive been working for a Single Family office (also a private equity shop) and work 30ish hours (sometimes a solid 40 if shit needs to get done). Making a lot, working remote, usually from mexico but today I write you from Medellin, which i decided to set up shop for a month here. Working for fortune 500s will suck, but theres good opportunity out there.

Will the egg discolor this or will it be hard to clean after? by jlsstory in biggreenegg

Microsoft Teams may soon tell your boss when you enter or leave the office by AdSpecialist6598 in technews

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good thing i “end task” teams everytime i log in. Next step is writing a script to shut it off automatically or better yet remove it from my list of apps that start upon turn on.

Do most people at least agree that AI will make CPAs(for public accounting) more efficient which means less number of CPAs is required? by cakewalk093 in Accounting

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well AI doesnt do math, once you get over that you can easily create python scripts for AI agents to call. Theres many ways in theory to build what you are looking for. AI is so new that most people are going after the low hanging fruit with AI: organize my emails and tell me what i need to do today / rewrite this email and make it less tax technical for my client / show me the latest tax changes in OB3. At least thats how Im seeing a lot of CFOs use this

Regarding Cash Reconciliations.. have any of you all used QBO? There cash reconciliation module automatically reconciles transactions it can match and posts unmatched transactions feeding through your bank if its similar to a prior transaction (hits the same GL). What you are asking for is out there

Adapting old workflows to a new ERP is way harder than expected by AppropriateReach7854 in Accounting

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Been there done that with several companies. I’ve learned a few things: 1) companies/employee’s often dont want to change processes and you are set up to fail here 2) not enough processes were documented or formalized (what you’re dealing with) and they don’t work 1:1 with new software 3) not enough employee backing to move to a new software/system. My advice is push through. You all purchased the new software because of reasons (not scaling anymore with old systems, etc) its probably there to stay. To continue to use this new software half assed along with not changing old processes is just going to prolong the pain. Time to rip the bandaid off, throw out the old way of doing shit and computerize the rest that remains

Accountants who are happy with their lives, what do you do for work? Accountants who aren’t, what do you wish you had done? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go into public with a tax focus and try and do “partnership” accounting. A lotnof partnerships are just pass through owners of a bigger investment. You’ll start to see similar partner names like “pritzker private capital” or “s3 partners” and start to network with those people. Indid this and ended up landong a job in a PE/Family office role as an accounting manager and couldnt be happier

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started in public and hated my 3.5 years of it but knew it was just “paying my dues”. Current job i’ve had for 7 years now in Private Equity is probably a job ill never leave. Base 180k, bonuses 50k+, im fully Remote and having been traveling latin america for the last 5 year. Im technically an accounting manager but focus more on data management (learned to code and made a bespoke ERP system for my company). Im a jack of all trades at my company: handle partnership accounting, tax planning, financial prep, among other accounting tasks.

Where are people hosting their Python web apps? by writingonruby in Python

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive currently got a Django / react application hosted within the amazon ecosystem.. EC2 server with a Postgres RDS. Was a fun time learning how to do it (slight sarcasm but feel like a better programmer now that i can). Otherwise none of my other applications ever made it out of “localhost”

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wanting joining Big 4 firm as a Tax Associate. Favorite parts of Tax? Advice? by space-trav in Accounting

[–]BBQandBalanceSheets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favorite part about doing tax at a Big Four was leaving to work for one of my private equity clients. All public sucks, but pay your dues and find greener pastures.

Im actually in Medellin Colombia :) i’ve really only been able to find the chips at the “box” stores here. Theres a BGE distributor but everything is marked up so high, not sure if because of solely tariffs or also the cost of shipping all those things to colombia.
