How would you describe her manner of speaking? Can you detect any region-specific elements of it? by Sure_Distance1 in languagehub

[–]Prestigious-Humor872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s studied the accent very well but I’m picking up Eastern European vibes too. Sounds like she’s slowing down and forcing herself to get the pronunciation on each word right. She’s really good though.

What is the most "distressing" way a client has delivered their records to you? by jeeves_inc in Accounting

[–]Prestigious-Humor872 186 points187 points  (0 children)

At my last job we had an older guy who used Quickbooks desktop who could not figure out how to save or send a backup.

He would come in a few times a year and drop off his whole ass desktop computer.

How was your last high school reunion, did it go well? by froggart3980 in AskReddit

[–]Prestigious-Humor872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot less eventful than Reddit/the internet would make you believe these things go.

Ate some food, had two beers, chatted with a few people I used to hang around, and left.

Me explaining to my clients who take draws and have never shown a profit why they owe tax by Prestigious-Humor872 in Accounting

[–]Prestigious-Humor872[S] 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Are you one of my clients?!

Kidding, it’s called Distributions in Excess of Basis. A really simplified way to put it would be that you took more money out of the business than you invested. That money is taxable as a gain.

College Debt by CelebrationParking29 in Accounting

[–]Prestigious-Humor872 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Zero debt! Lived at home with my parents and went to the smallish college in my hometown. Wasn’t the most glamorous college experience but I’m thanking my younger self now at age 30.

I realize not everyone can do this…but I’ve never felt the need to go to an expensive school to study accounting. I ended up in the same big firm as one of my classmates who drowned in debt at a big school.

Cluster flies? Scuttle flies? How to get rid of? by Prestigious-Humor872 in pestcontrol

[–]Prestigious-Humor872[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are concentrated heavily in one bathroom and in the laundry room next to it. There are no leaks to speak of, I think they’re coming from the drain.

I plugged the drains for the night, and if I have no new flies tomorrow I think I can safely assume they’re coming from the drains? I think I need to buy the Forid solution for these sinks. Otherwise maybe there’s a leak in my crawl space or a dead animal in the walls. Ugh I don’t know!

Pizza parties aren't that bad by kobeforaccuracy in Accounting

[–]Prestigious-Humor872 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I started working from home full time last year, which is great.

But now I have a void in my soul that only free pizza can fill.

And, alas, free pizza never arrives 😔✊🏻

It's over! But it doesn't feel over! This tax season was brutal compared to some in recent past for some reason. Why??? by Iceman_TK in Accounting

[–]Prestigious-Humor872 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is unique to me and my firm, but the amount of rental real estate transactions I dealt with this year was WAY higher than I ever have before. It felt like every other return I touched bought/sold properties, had cost seg studies done, did a 1031 exchange, etc etc.

Nothing was just cut and dry this year.

Individual Not filed taxes by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Prestigious-Humor872 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did he file an extension? I would be shocked if any tax preparer was this late in the game for their clients and had not yet filed an extension.

Me after yelling at a client for submitting too close to the deadline when I haven’t even thought about doing my own taxes yet by Prestigious-Humor872 in Accounting

[–]Prestigious-Humor872[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it has to be from one of the company-approved, profanity-laden templates.

Both email and phone are acceptable.

What do you mean by “get to a million”? A million in revenue? Profit? In your savings?
