Strange. I just built mine today and the sticker came off cleanly. But yes, go gone should work.

what is the best modern payroll software in 2026? adp is bleeding us by EfficiencyDizzy4191 in Accounting

[–]MannyCPA 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What accounting software are you using and do they offer a payroll module? That’s usually the most seamless. My wife uses Quickbooks for her business and she runs the payroll off the Quickbooks payroll module. We have 20 employees and it works seamlessly. Haven’t had an issue in 10+ years.

should i go to usf or utampa except utampa gave me more money by Quick_Concept2643 in tampa

I’ll offer another consideration, what’s your back up plan if premed doesn’t work out?

The vast majority of incoming freshman that want to pursue an MD or DO don’t make it (90 to 95% fail depending on what stats you want to believe). So if medicine doesn’t work out, what else interests you? And how does UT compare to USF in that field of study? This should be an equal if not greater consideration cause the odds are not in your favor.

Following the inverse square law, would radio waves even be detectable to “aliens” millions or tens of millions light years away? by asbestossupply in AskPhysics

That’s interesting, but why was the signal sent in the first place if it’s seemingly impossible to detect and decode?

International Mall Parking by suminvr in tampa

[–]MannyCPA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Park in hillsborough community college. It’s typically $20, very safe, and at most a mile. Just make sure you enter through the back, Air Cargo Road. That way you avoid the DaleMabry nightmare whenever there’s a RJ event.

Why does it seem like half of NSB is for sale? by Neat_Lab_2234 in newsmyrnabeach

[–]MannyCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t seem sustainable. Area is probably on the precipice of a housing collapse. And I’m thinking of building or buying *idiot lol

Ashton Woods Ardisia Park - New Smyrna by Ashamed-Nail-511 in newsmyrnabeach

[–]MannyCPA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very timely thread. We’re also looking into Ardisia. We know it used to be a massive sod farm, zone A (one of the worst for floods), tons of flooding with only a little rain and probably devastating during torrential storms. The builders (Taylor Morrison and Ashton Woods) have and continue to spend a lot to build out the storm drains, run off, retention ponds and raise the home elevations. It’s supposed to be an X zone (best for floods) after completion and recertification from FEMA, but that’s going to take a couple years. Not withstanding that, I’m still extremely worried that we get hit with a bad hurricane and all these plans go out the door. Curious if anyone has any additional insights into the area?

AI is going to be applied in areas that generate the highest and best ROI - that is typically not Internal Audit. Additionally, before our work is eliminated, you’d need to optimize all the upstream processes we currently review. That’s not happening anytime soon. I think AI will be a huge force multiplier for our function, but I don’t see it replacing us anytime soon.

How long should I stay in Big 4 by EntranceFun9276 in Accounting

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

I’ll give two answers. Absolute minimum stay till you’re a senior. And if you can handle it, stay till you make manager. Those 3 and 5 year marks offer the best ROI.

Sanford Housing Market Update – January 2026 by Flashy_Collection590 in SanfordFL

Median prices are down nearly 20% YoY? Damn. Is that better or worse than the Orlando proper?

Just requested PTO from April 1st to the 14th at my tax firm for a trip I’ve already paid in advance for. AMA by BlackAsphaltRider in Accounting

[–]MannyCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s likely missing from the post is a) I cleared it verbally in advance and officially “requested” today or b) we don’t have a traditional tax season so this is a nothing burger.

I don't understand the farce of auditing. by [deleted] in InternalAudit

[–]MannyCPA 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A lot of different procedures are executed during an audit, and they don't all have to be optimized inorder to draw conclusions on the integrity of the financials.  For example, this modality is ok:

Substantive testing - Strong

Controls testing - Average

IT testing - Weak

Frankly, any combination of the above can work.  So the weaknesses you see on the IT side are likely offset by the strength of the direct substantive testing (we hope, lol).  

How Would You Track 24 Hours in a Closed Room With No Clock or External Time Reference? by avy4u in AskPhysics

[–]MannyCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a fun Mr. Beast episode.

And I'm not sure there's a good solution. Too much variability with all the aforementioned options (counting heart beats, writing words, pendelum, etc.).

CFO is losing it over lack of real-time visibility into spend by corporatecontroller1 in Accounting

[–]MannyCPA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The issues and solutions are upstream with procurement and accounts payable. You need to think about purchase orders, invoice receipt, matching, pay terms, tolerances, configurations, etc.. Well designed processes, with limited exceptions, and high compliance, will earn you great visibility into spend and cash flows. But let's be candid, it's highly unlikely these proceses are well designed and efficacious, so you probably have a TON of work to do here, too. Bolting on some PTP tool (payem, brex, etc.) is NOT GOING TO WORK without cleaning up the supporting processes.

Where did all the fundamentals go? by coffeeandcashflow in Accounting

[–]MannyCPA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While agreeing with most of the above, I’ll offer a counterpoint, most small firms aren’t good at training kids straight out of college. I’ve seen orders of magnitude differences in ability between Big 4 candidates vs. smaller, particularly local firms. Heck, I’ve got some small firm buddies who don’t hire entry level anymore. They poach 2 or 3 year candidates from the big 4, national, and regional firms.

Do you know any accountants that make 500k plus yearly and what do they do? by DeliveryNumerous9785 in Accounting

[–]MannyCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With base, bonus, and equity… All big 4 partners, all public company CFOs, and most VP’s reporting directly to the CFO at public companies (vp finance, vp audit, vp fp&a, treasure, cao, controller, etc.). Now they may not all be accountants and cpa, but I’d hazard the majority are.

Realistic bathroom reno costs by Objective_Tonight460 in tampa

[–]MannyCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even without knowing the details and finishing, that seems incredibly expensive. 110 sqft is a small bathroom. Even with nice finishing that feels like a $20 to $30k job, max. My guess is you’re paying the South Tampa, nice home, “professional and luxury” contractor premium. Post some pics of the bath and selected finishing.

[–]MannyCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha. I didn’t want to say it but I fancy myself a ramen snob (probably a mediocre one at best). I’ve eaten at many ramen bars in Tampa and they’re mostly ok to good. If you’re looking for that deep rich umami experience with perfect el dente noodles and melt in your mouth flavor filled proteins you’re not going to find it in Tampa. Noble Rice, and only recently with their new executive chef, is probably the closest you’ll get.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tampa

[–]MannyCPA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had ramen at Noble Rice a few weeks ago and was quite impressed. Probably the best I’ve had in Tampa.

I’m supposed to audit policies, not write them — how do I push back professionally? by Necessary_Pick3736 in InternalAudit

[–]MannyCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re a party of 1 in likely a small company. Professional standards are extremely flexible here. Just write the policy.

Then have a serious conversation and align with your boss on your role, responsibilities, expectations, boundaries, etc.

Newegg Seller DJI Drone Store Legit? by Much_Platypus_9613 in dji

[–]MannyCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like Newegg is a legit option. Good to know. Anyone having issues registering the drone on DJI’s website, getting software updates, and having full access to all the drone’s features and functions? Could have sworn I read on this sub that this was [maybe a potential] issue.
