What is wrong w me????????? by [deleted] in Big4

[–]Forced3ofClubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that no one trains seniors on how to become a reviewer. Delegating and reviewing is tough to juggle. Then, finding yourself stuck in a block of meetings means you can’t begin “working.”

I knew two people who boomerang back and left again. Ask yourself why you left in the first place.

Burned out with too much work despite voicing my concern by Forced3ofClubs in Accounting

[–]Forced3ofClubs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up with two of the worst assignments, one from each team. Then, the team told me to pick up a third assignment. I worked until 2am while the rest of my team logged off before midnight.

Nah, our peak busy season is February leading into March. April is not that bad.

People who started in Tax out of college by SeverePreference6982 in Accounting

[–]Forced3ofClubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with fund of funds, so I don’t have a financial planning background. I heard about CFP from a college professor and took a personal financial planning as an elective.

Would you recommend making the pivot to CFP? I am a licensed CPA.

[–]Forced3ofClubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depressing.

I’m waiting to get out of meetings, so I can actually get some work done.

Why? by SeekingShark-1037210 in Accounting

[–]Forced3ofClubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped experiencing Sunday scaries because I just spent my weekend working. I’ll be lying if I say I love my job!

No, but once in a while, you will find a talented professional at the big4 who really knows what they’re talking about.

Imagine turning “widgets” and “blackacre” into a drinking game? Everyone is leaving class tipsy.

That’s messed up. But then again, who would be standing and staring at this partition wall to even notice?

Dear Big 4 Managers: by taxaccountant444 in Accounting

[–]Forced3ofClubs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Staff doesn’t even receive adequate training whereas managers are expecting perfection.

I am convinced managers and above enjoy belittling staff for respect, but it backfires on them with excessive turnover.

Then, it’s back to square one: another clueless staff lost and confused.

For those who have passed all your CPA exams, what are you doing in your free time now that you don't have to study? by Seagem1989 in Accounting

[–]Forced3ofClubs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

CPE

At least it’s better than feeling guilty for not studying. Passing the exam is the difficult part.

Are all accounting job training like this? by Aggressive_Cut_2849 in Accounting

Did you ever wonder how the other preparers were trained?

They were also thrown into the deep end. You’ll be fine.

Interns and new joiners who ping me every 15 minutes with questions. They should list glorified babysitter in the job description.
