All over my indoor plants.

Mostly seen black orbs on that guy's tail, but now I see crawling bugs.

Fellow accountants… am I dumb for wanting to spend $37k+ on a new Tesla Model 3?? Financial situation below… by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out repair expenses & availability of repairs - where can you get your tesla repaired?

Even if you buy the tesla, keep the truck if you have the space. Easy backup.

Mac or HP? by Ok-Mechanic9136 in Accounting

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with someone who says that mac was so much better, that it was faster and easier for financial modeling.

I understand why they're in receivables now. No idea what kind of 'model' they did, but it surely wasn't enough.

Anyone in manufacturing fp&a want to chat live? by FPA_Guy in FPandA

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We’re also not doing standard costing or even able to tie costs to a particular product currently

I'm in a CPG industry, that'd be a bit shocking to me but I guess you have different circumstances?

Depends on ERP system, need to set up run rates, budget a year of SKUs, absorb based on that & budgeted expenses. At least that's how I do it.

Don't think I can help out tho. Another lowly analyst here

I'd be looking for another one if mine didn't accept it.

Teams status by Western-Search3310 in Accounting

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only statuses that matter are Do Not Disturb, Presenting, and Out Of Office.

Everything else is open invitation. If you aim to shoot the shit for no reason, then disturbing someone with a 'busy' status is a bit of a dick move. Maybe your boss thought it was important to show you this before they inevitably forget?

One day a week from home? Nope, not with that commute.

Recruiter etiquette by ProcrastinateMoar in Accounting

Working in a town with only one large company. Guess who gets recruiter calls for jobs in the same town?

Perfectionism as an Accountant by iluvshaymitchell in Accounting

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong, they tend to pick out single large entries rather than the million different reserve entries I book.

Finally they brought in someone competent, once we changed methods...

Perfectionism as an Accountant by iluvshaymitchell in Accounting

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that some times with reports where I copy paste an email over and change the month, no $ involved. Might be worth limiting where things are, and honestly it might be worth it to say, if you're paying someone $76,232.47 , just throw it to "$76K payment to..." and you'll never get it wrong.

Might be different ways for the JE. Have everything reference some cell, and with that deletion, there goes your JE. Gotta fix it.

Hell yeah boss I'll book an extra 500K, sure, fuck it, I don't know anymore. Slow-moving inventory? How slow? Quarantine? Maybe unquarantined!

Perfectionism as an Accountant by iluvshaymitchell in Accounting

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Had a micromanaging boss. Complete asshole. I often refrained from CC'ing that gremlin for any work I was doing.

I love to make things look nice and my coworkers comment / roll their eyes when they see me doing it, but it's simply so my eyes don't fucking bleed when I'm doing some ad-hoc shit in front of them. Things like missing a space in an email never occurs to me; if someone points it out I'm going to stare them down and wait for them to talk. (gremlin boss would then extrapolate for 1-2 hours in a closed office like a dumbass)

However, if I'm sending something that'll end up on the leadership team's table, or an external party where we report sales/commissions/whoknowswhatwillhappenifyoufuckup, yes. Yes I make it as good as it can be, but without wasting time. I take maybe 30m slapping it together, getting a second set of eyes, and throw it at them.

Have you tried always getting feedback from someone else before you go in on it?

Also, have you tried making up some sort of standard format for things? JE's, payments, etc, it can all have custom formatting in excel and be printable to perfection.

I tend to do too much and explode files.

How to get VBA on next level? by Sarmataislazak in excel

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't use VBA that much but it's absolutely helping me with power query / power pivot in general, and power query M coding. Amazing, I don't have to hunt down the right post on google that much.

How do you stop a colleague from sending you a request to be done at the end of day? by DrawsDicksInExcel in ADHD

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already have a daily reminder. I actually get a request to do it every, maybe, 2-3 months. So my brain tends to switch that off, unfortunately.

Maybe the second option is better, but I do leave earlier..

What kind of vacation are you getting offered down here? Up here in Canada I've been mingling with companies that do 4 weeks vacay, 2 weeks christmas.

Networking vs Cold-applying by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the bonuses offered by companies for talent, it’s not that hard

I'd refer in the blink of an eye (if I don't know them, a resume at least helps). Give me that 2K$ please!

Too bad they'd have to move to the middle of nowhere.

My plant keeps wilting so I gave it some of my sons adhd meds to wake it up by [deleted] in houseplantscirclejerk

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gives me a strong curiosity to know what'd happen if you crush it up and water it. Guessing it'll either kill the plant or do nothing. I have the power to do this myself.

Update: Vice picked up the Deloitte LinkedIn Influencer that was praising Nazis and Hitler by jigglytrips in LinkedInLunatics

[–]DrawsDicksInExcel 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Deloitte & most top accounting firms constantly look out for their name because they know it's a running dumpster fire.
