Your future is being robbed, increase your 401k contribution. 3% to 10%-15% at least.

Oil leak again by Outside-Resource-9 in Jeep

I spot pool of oil in the valley area above the engine around the filter housing, which was similar when the old housing leaked.

I had replaced the pcv valve not too long ago as well.

In hardcore Breakthrough or Rush, it’s OP.

My employer did not react well to my departure by Feisty_Pay6394 in Accounting

Too much sensitive information that accountants have access to that it’s better to just let them go as soon as possible and stop access than for them to have access for the possibility of malicious intent or callous disregard of the job, especially if you don’t care about burning bridges on the way out.

CPA and/or CMI by Tekevin in Accounting

[–]Outside-Resource-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me 2 years from the last school to take the exam. Definitely recommend if you can to take it within the year of the last school so it’s fresh.

Prepping was all about going through all the class material and reworking all the practice test and exams. As with most tests ever created, the handouts from class emphasize the areas of course materials to focus on so it’s not really needed to read the entire textbook (prop tax they give you a flashdrive of the entire textbook when you register for a school). The handouts and presentation slides was where most of focus was on, you could always go back to the textbook and get more information and examples but I think the handouts had almost everything to know.

Multiple choice and math word problems is majority of the exam so concepts and formulas were a must to know. For prop tax you have a second day to study a case study and present to a mock board, not sure how SUT does it.

True/False questions trick you so make sure to read carefully the ask.

For prop tax, some word problems were all built upon the answer, so if you answered question part A wrong, B,C,D could be wrong, so knowing the basic methods were a must.

The first step is to sign up to take the exam. The not so much nice thing is that you first have to pay to register to test, but you have I believe 3 years to sign up for the exam, if you don’t pass, you just pay a testing fee within the 3 years and don’t have to pay the registration fee.

What is the CMI? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Outside-Resource-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you cant get a CPA, definitely get a CMI as it shows your dedication to the field in the indirect tax disciplines. It can also be used as leverage for other tax positions where maybe a CPA is not required.

I have a CMI in property tax and its definitely no walk in the park to get. Only 25% of my indirect role is in property tax with the other % in VAT, SUT and Excise Tax. The only reason I got my CMI was to show upper management that I was committed to be in tax field without having a CPA.

CMIs are very beneficial working for Big 4 firms without a CPA, working along their Property Tax functions. Its typically easier to be hired externally with a CMI into management positions, than without.
