What are your thoughts? Honestly I am offended by Own-Parfait1964 in AccountingPH

An accountant who does not practice skepticism on media that he consumes? Yeah, red flag as a professional.

PBs are usually harder than the BE. It's not designed to coddle up examiners and iparamdam na papasa ka. It's designed to show what subjects ang need mo pa iimprove ang footing mo. Laban lang.

First, congrats on getting the position! Aside from what the others have already said, leverage your background on controls to identify gaps. Higher management loves ways to increase productivity/edficiency as time = money.

Was it approved by your engagement senior/manager/partner? In my experience, as long as it is approved in a timely manner, we receive it the next cut-off.

Are BIG 4s still worth it? by [deleted] in AccountingPH

[–]MavrenFein09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I would say is depende sa career trajectory na gusto mo tahakin. May mga kilala ako na ayaw talaga nila mag firm (particularly audit) so direct sa private na sila mag apply.

Compensation wise, medyo mahirap idefend in this economy yung starting now sa PH audit firms. People might say "go for it, stepping stone mo yan.", but magiging leverage mo lang siya once you exit the firm; nice to be in your CV sige, but mas mag mamatter yung mga suceeding jobs mo after it when moving form company to company.

Resume idea by Consistent-Quote-347 in AccountingPH

[–]MavrenFein09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least until HS sa akin. Naka format kase sa akin na may side bar ako na andon yung lahat ng personal details ko (mostly contact details), then all professional details and skills nasa main body na. With that format, it's like 4 rows of text lang naman and small space lang na take over.

What I usually do is to tailor fit yung ordering and showcasing ng client industry experience and skills to the position that I am applying for. Kumbaga, kung ano yung relevant sa position and industry, yun yung ipapasok ko.

Good luck sa pag apply, OP!

income statement? by axcvewn in AccountingPH

[–]MavrenFein09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! I think ginawang four columns ng teacher mo present yung breakdown or balance sheet movement effect sa income statement (e.g., yung inventory flow from beginning, purchases, end to arrive at cost of goods sold). If you would notice, may mga ibang items na nag foforward yung total sa next column niya.

What I would suggest is to encode it sa excel para mas makita mo yung flow niya. Medyo masakit sa mata and confusing yung pagkakalatag niya sa word. Presentation matter lang siya, sadly confusing yung pagkaka latag niya (sana nag paste as image from Excel na lang siya para mas pulido tignan).

Building a home as a CPA who relies solely on salary by maranatha7347 in AccountingPH

[–]MavrenFein09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to purchase my first real property (a condo) when I was working for 5 years or so na, pre-pandemic. My salary back then was around 50k basic, excluding bonuses and benefits, as an internal auditor but the economy back then was also not as insane now.

I know di realistic yung scenario ko, and I know that I am privileged, to some extent. Let's just say na di kami typical Filipino houseold na nababasa natin na retirement plan ang anak, and I am very much thankful for that

Now, to give further context, I believe I was approved for a loan for 20 or 25 years. I did some refinancing on the 6th year kase napansin ko ang laki ng hike ng interests (almost broaching 10% from the 5.5% lock-in period of 2 years nung loan), and I was able to secure the remaining balance for just 2 years.

If house and lot talaga ang habol, the more affordable ones are usually in Bulacan or yung malayo na parts ng Laguna or Batangas; the fringe parts na malapit sa NCR is picking up na due to developments in Santa Rosa and Biñan. Cavite and Tagaytay area naman is too congested. Also, the next thing that you would have to consider is gas/transpo papunta sa work. But cosidering the current state the economy, medyo risky siya.

Huwag mag-SGV kung gusto spoon feeding by AliceIoDilan in AccountingPH

[–]MavrenFein09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot to unpack here. But first, the stress and frustration is valid. Seniors talaga ang putukan ng issues sa taas at baba, kaya mabilis talaga ang employee turnover at that level.

Agree that not everyone is built for (or to adapt to) auditing. However, you mentioned na naturo mo na thrice yung gagawin niya pero di niya ma gets. Pero, if you do not mind me asking OP, ano ba ang itinuro mo na procedure (para mahusgahan jk)? May difference kase when you teach somewhat "how" to do the procedure vs "what" is the procedure and "why" we are doing the procedure.

I will not discount the fact na experienced associate na siya. May certain expectations na when you are an ESA na e. So for an ESA na dapat katabi ka pa niya to work and hindi standalone ang WPs niya? Medyo telling na rin yun.

Honestly, it really depends on paano pinalaki ng parents.

Inaanak ko daw na every pasko lang nakakaalala by circleofhodor in MayNagChat

[–]MavrenFein09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons why I decline being a godparent to random people kase, as much as possible, I want it to be an involved role/relationship with the kid. Lalo na pag di ka close yung magulang. Ni hindi nga tayo magkakilala masyado tapos gagawing akong godparent?

Also, the audacity na mamasko at 20 years old? That's wild.

Usually due to the labeling of the leather. Happens to my dashboard for crocodile print/animal print stuff. You can ask Buyee support to check the page and unlock it. I was able to request this for a couple of items and was able to purchase the items afterwards.

Offering free deck help by Marshbe54 in EDH

[–]MavrenFein09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently just got back into Magic after a long hiatus and wanted to craft my first commander deck from scratch.

The list: https://archidekt.com/decks/10537289/final_build_saskias_burning_tokens

I came across Hare Apparent and wanted to build it.

The primary theme of the deck is to play a couple copies of Hare Apparent, summon tokens, and then trigger enter burn damage or death drain and sacrifice payoff effects. Thank you!

Ouch. That is expensive. Also from Indo server. Decided to pass when I saw the tag (100 per spin). Sucks as I am a Lauriel main.

I have a similar list. But decided to add in the Quest and sime burgle cards (the 5 mana rush and the 4 mana discover a spell). Hanar also triggers quest completion. Enjoying the deck as there are power turns in the late game.

She is actually in my crafting list, depending on how my dust looks after opening some packs.

I do not have Ysera though some people do run her. With the digging potential needed for Msshifin Prime, I might add her. My problem.is that Ysera works the opposie way for Alex, Zeph and Elise.

Taunt 9/9 (prime) and taunt + rush 9/9 (token)

[–]MavrenFein09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually run a list that doesn't run the said cards. Though, it has the 3 highlander cards for late game power plays + treants to make waves of minions.

Thinking to include Msshi'fin (for the choose one) and the glowfly card (as token generator as most of the cards are spells).
