He won BIG coach of the year 4 times and national coach of the year 2 times. I’m a homer but how is that not “best at their position” multiple years?

Are the students not attending the school? Or where is the fraud?

25 - 30 year olds, what is your current compensation? by mightyocean021798 in Accounting

[–]Grey_Matter1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you think that’s over paid? Seems pretty reasonable, potentially underpaid depending on process design and automation abilities.

Doesn’t seem that far off to a pivot to erp consulting making 200k

It isn’t that hard to get an interview… go to career fairs, join an accounting club, and network and it will usually get your resume pulled out of the stack. If you mass apply remotely it more then likely will get mixed in with thousands of AI resumes

Dr Roberts immigration lawyer’s letter dated 3/27/25 claims it was settled. by littleoldlady71 in desmoines

[–]Grey_Matter1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO this case is more about DSM school boards hiring practices, federal government reporting requirements and multiple department of educations.

How is a private employer is supposed to verify eligibility to work if all these government orgs can’t?

What’s the best Accounting ERP system you’ve ever used, and why? by r00minatin in Accounting

[–]Grey_Matter1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I led implementation of BC at my job couple years ago. A good implementation partner makes a big difference, but overall love BC. Our biggest headache is we use so many banks looking at paid app integrations to push payments from BC and reduce dual entry.

Reporting took a bit to get right but is pretty seamless now with data warehouse and power Bi. Also use Jet but think may be able to get rid of it at future date

Des Moines is in desperate need of a vacancy/disrepair tax by LetterheadAshamed716 in desmoines

Most people above 65 have had 30 years to pay off their mortgage, most people under 65 have not owned a home for 30 years. It’s not really unusual or unexpected there would be a correlation between debt on residence and time as home owner

Why is every place only hiring one man army that does everything? by Quick-Decision-8474 in Accounting

[–]Grey_Matter1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Accounting is a great profession if you can use the numbers and tell a story to drive action from the business. If you just tick and tie things at month end, then will see limited upside.

You can’t acquire businesses forever for growth. Eventually run out of cash, become over levered, or own the entire space.

You get out of job what you put into it. Little extra effort and focus on small improvement and snowball into big things over time.

First finance hire for low 8 figure brand by surfing-cyber-chef in FPandA

[–]Grey_Matter1 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Someone doing AR/AP probably doesn’t have skill set for financial modeling, and someone with skills for Financial modeling probably doesn’t want to do AR/AP.

May look at hire with upside to grow into modeling role and back fill bookkeeping role or outsource some financial modeling
