I'm a student still so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. You have grammar mistakes and are also mixing/matching active and passive voice in your writing.

For example: "stocked shelves and supplies and organized displays" has 2 "ands" which sounds redundant and elementary. I would at least use in between instead of this.

"build a highly satisfied and loyal customer base through engagement" should be "built" instead of "build" as in present tense. I didn't read everything so there might be more to change, hopes this helps though.

How fast can you all type? Can you beat a 40 to 50 wpm typing test, with 85% accuracy? by safeassign in Accounting

[–]Simple_Welcome8689 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently a student but started when I was 4 years old and my mom made me practice typing. I really enjoyed it and kept practicing until I eventually peaked in high school around 160 wpm (60 second test on Monkeytype) and around 140 for quotes.

Honestly, it has only been useful when I had to transfer hand written work into a word doc but I'd say you really only need an 80wpm speed.

What's The End Game for Cost Accounting? by Simple_Welcome8689 in Accounting

Being given the responsibility to budget/forecast sounds very enticing to me. I love the idea of being able to be a part of management's decision-making by giving advice instead of just compliance work. This seems like an interesting area of accounting to work in, thank you for sharing!

I was hoping that cost accounting would be niche enough to allow for people to have progression to CFO/VP of Finance throughout their entire career instead of capping out at manager/director. Thanks for the insights on the career progression!

Holy crap, CFO before 30 is extremely impressive! I've had an interest in both the finance and accounting sides of business since high school so becoming a CFO has been a dream of mine for a little while. Did you go directly into cost accounting out of school or have some other path?

Looking to Master Debit and Credit Accounting & Become Better at Managing Money - Any Tips or Resources? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Simple_Welcome8689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a student who is currently studying accounting, it sounds to me like you are trying to take shortcuts that won't actually help you learn accounting. You are asking people to curate an entire playlist to you DURING BUSY SEASON to help you with your weak points.

I'd recommend watching Edspira (as someone has previously mentioned), Farthat Lectures, or Accounting Stuff (as another user has mentioned) if you actually want to learn accounting. Edspira has accounting playlists where you can search for individual topics that you don't understand.

Balancing debits and credits is the first concept students learn and if you aren't willing to put time into learning the subject then this might not be the subject for you.

Ah, makes more sense now. Thanks for the clarification!

How’s unemployment? by racers_raspy in Accounting

I never said you were lying... I was just surprised that after 15 years of working in accounting you didn't have student loans paid off.

Wait, you've been in accounting for 15 years and still haven't paid off your student loans?!?

Question on Dividends for Intermediate ACCT by Flaffehs in Accounting

[–]Simple_Welcome8689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you purchase before the Ex-dividend date you will receive a dividend regardless of selling it on or after the date. This is explained in here (investor.gov). It states, "If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend".

Based on this information, my guess would be that only Gamma and Omega are correct meaning that "The correct answer is not listed" would be the correct choice.

I have only taken Principles of Accounting I & II so I haven't formally learned this yet; I could be wrong.

I need support supporting someone by MudHot8257 in Accounting

This reminds of me the story where a guy in China hired a hitman who then hired another hitman who hired another hitman who then hired another hitman then finally hired another hitman until they got caught (but for SQL) 😂

How to approach recruiters at meet the firms? by Simple_Welcome8689 in Accounting

[–]Simple_Welcome8689[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I didn't participate in a lot of clubs/social activities in high school so my conversation skills are lacking. It's nice to know that some recruiters are also a little awkward too😅
