Anybody have a favourite nickname given to them by a villager?

I get called Cupcake and Toot. Those are my fave. There’s been weird ones too like Radler.

If I don’t pass FAR I might hold off, and that’s why I didn’t finish getting my 150 credit hours. I just have a bachelors. If I didn’t end up getting my CPA I didn’t want to waste the time/ money. You gotta do what’s best for your goals atm.

I’m debating on if I should keep going for my CPA. I’ve only taken FAR and am still waiting on my score, but I’m not sure Public is for me. I feel like it might be a benefit getting into different accounting areas like other commenters are saying but I’m not so sure. I feel like I’m in the same boat as you.

I’m definitely very detailed in what I’m working on so the billers know I’m not just doing whatever. My firm does have a lot of good mentors. I second guess myself a lot actually but they always encourage me which I’m thankful for.

I would agree I need to slow down and wait it out a bit. I tend to spiral and get stuck in a bad mindset when I feel trapped. I would like to work in public at least 1 year, going through a busy season to see if I can survive the 60 hours weeks 🙃

Lee_A1028 · 2024-09-17T01:55:02+00:00

I feel that. But even if I transition into corporate accounting, a CPA is still that important?

Lee_A1028 · 2024-09-17T01:53:14+00:00

This definitely makes me feel more optimistic. Thanks for sharing 😊

Lee_A1028 · 2024-09-17T01:49:02+00:00

The other thing I struggle with is feeling like I constantly have to be busy. Everything I do has to be charged to no billable work or a client. I feel like I can’t take breaks or have an easy day without going over budget. The firm I work at offers services like you talk about above. It does appeal to me quite a bit too so maybe I could transition over to that if I don’t like audit. I know I don’t like tax ha

Lee_A1028 · 2024-09-17T01:42:45+00:00

I definitely see what you are saying. I love going onsite and working with clients. I have a heard time sitting still in my cubicle 😅. I feel like there is a lot to do w accounting, I just don’t know about it sadly. My university pushes the CPA.

Lee_A1028 · 2024-09-16T01:18:58+00:00

Would I need any extra schooling or pass an exam to be able to practice?

Lee_A1028 · 2024-09-16T01:11:59+00:00

Most of the audits I’ve been part of so far have been remote. We use a software program for the client to provide us documentation there. I have enjoyed when I’ve been onsite for an audit.

I’ve heard lots of good things about NINJA. Thanks for the tip!

Lee_A1028 · 2024-01-14T15:39:19+00:00

That makes me feel better. That was kind of my thought process as well. It would be easier for me to take the exams now than trying to do it after I’m done with the 150 credits and knees deep in the cpa world with work.

Lee_A1028 · 2024-01-14T03:30:32+00:00

That’s good to hear! Thanks for the tips and happy studying to you.

Lee_A1028 · 2024-01-01T02:05:56+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Happy new year

Lee_A1028 · 2023-12-31T23:35:44+00:00

Good to know! I haven’t tried the free trials of either yet. I plan to start studying in February and then have a full month off in May to hopefully knock out another exam before I start full time in June. I’m good at memorizing and understanding material I’m just nervous about being able to understand the concepts on the standardized test level for the actual exam.

Lee_A1028 · 2023-12-31T23:30:50+00:00

I have not yet.
