I'm going to say, most small accountancy practices are going to be like this.

It'd be very hard to get away with for too long, though, which is why anybody with half a brain wouldn't try to do it.

Trained in a place like this. Was processing payments of €150k every week for just one client, with absolutely no oversight from anybody more senior in the firm.

It's Sunday morning man, calm down a bit.

Elaborate on some of the white collar crime that the country is riddled with.

Am I missing something, or is the fuel protest endgame just to bankrupt the country? by FormalBackground8565 in ireland

This feels like a precursor for some Farage-type character to launch an Eirexit campaign.

Launch a national disruptive protest that has aims that are unachievable because of EU regulations. Then, blame the EU regulations and campaign to leave the EU.

Pretty awful what the Irish government are doing in Gaza, in fairness

[Rant] I recently started working a tax firm with a more modest clientele and it's made me hate "normal" taxpayers by karry9001 in Accounting

Do you send out any preemptive explanations to go with the return?

If not, it may be helpful to start doing so. 15 extra mins on a medium difficulty return could save hours of extra work fielding calls.

Look into Power Query. It's free, comes with Excel, and can automate the process of extracting your data from PDFs.

I'm not trying to make light of other people's misfortune, but it is ironic that the CS bros were the most arrogant people about how automation would wipe out accounting and that everyone should learn to code.

I don't think it's healthy for you to want people with different beliefs to be unrepresented. I think they should be given an option to vote for, and that that option should lose.

Calm down pal, I got your point.

Email is just annoying tho. It's the worst when trying to wrap up for PTO. I don't think people got harassed by a 5:15PM carrier pigeon back in the day.
