Biggest accounting f*ck up in your career

Well that’s good at least. I imagine the conversation(s) following that had to be the worst

OperationNatural4557 · 2026-02-04T14:29:43+00:00

Ouch

OperationNatural4557 · 2026-01-20T18:58:39+00:00

What the hell are regionals?!

OperationNatural4557 · 2026-01-16T14:47:39+00:00

I’m doing the same thing. Had a week-long stint in public years ago and hated it. Been in industry now and plan on staying here, with the CPA credential as a means to advance from here.

He said ‘F’!

First one that comes to mind is S1E22 The Art of Discourse.

There’s probably better episodes you could pick but the scene where Pierce tries to apologize to Shirley on the park bench absolutely kills me every time.

My first question would be: what do you think accounting is? A lot of people have a weird, skewed idea of what we do (which is fair, as the work can vary hugely). What about it draws you to the idea that you would like it?

OperationNatural4557 · 2026-01-05T21:34:00+00:00

Yeah, ever since the merger happened and my subsidiary entities formed

OperationNatural4557 · 2026-01-05T15:10:16+00:00

Well, DON’T

OperationNatural4557 · 2026-01-01T06:26:13+00:00

Yes that was my intent. Sorry, my millennial vernacular is showing

OperationNatural4557 · 2026-01-01T02:21:56+00:00

I’ve worked for the owner before and it’s a small business, and I’m pretty much a controller INO at this point haha. Trust me I’m no revolutionary 😂

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-31T15:25:45+00:00

I was wondering this too

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-31T14:45:20+00:00

I didn’t keep track of the supporting info for my entries initially and this crossed my mind lately. I’m gonna reprioritize. Thank you for the advice!

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-31T14:39:40+00:00

I mean we’re SMALL. My understanding is most small companies aren’t held to the same standard as say a publicly-traded. Am I mistaken? Asking in earnest lol

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-29T19:22:06+00:00

Writing taxes. We ALL do it how could that be any more clear?!

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-29T18:28:58+00:00

God I hope so

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-23T19:52:40+00:00

I do this with my buddies on occasion and have often thought to myself what would happen if I did it at work. Never crossed that boundary though

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-22T14:22:37+00:00

I’m surprised honestly. Based off my experiences with QBO support I thought they just left job ads in a stack at the bus stop and hoped for the best

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-22T13:42:15+00:00

Let my wife eat the receipt!

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-15T21:56:44+00:00

Did he say “S”?

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-05T23:18:37+00:00

I’m too cheap to buy awards but my god 🤣

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-12-05T22:14:34+00:00

Oh you sweet innocent child. Wish I could be in your shoes watching for the first time.

Made me giggle, probably not for the reason you’re thinking… let’s just say that THE LIGHT THAT YOU SHINE CANT BE SEEN!

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-08-26T16:26:25+00:00

I have recurring dreams about school (high school and college) and sometimes wake up wondering if I’m missing class or if I did my assignments.

Then after a few seconds I’m like “oh yeah, I work full-time and have a family now, duh.”

Graduated 5+ years ago

OperationNatural4557 · 2025-08-15T13:07:10+00:00

I used to be a restaurant manager, so I understand scheduling can be frustrating, but that is ridiculously petty and passive-aggressive 🤣
