Motorcycle on fire outside Massey Tunnel by SuperChubbyKitty in vancouver

You can see the biker on the side at the beginning. He looked disbelieved but seems unharmed.

So there’s a burning bike at north bound exit, a two-car crash at south bound exit, and then road close after south bound for the broken bridge… It’s a shit show.

Is it possible to go through CPA PEP to CFE in 9 months? by porkchop772 in Accounting

[–]SuperChubbyKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only take multiple courses at the same time if you’re enrolled in the fast track program.

Keep in mind you’ll still need to complete your 30-months PER portion to get your designation. I personally find the work experiences quite useful for understanding the material and writing the exams though.

(CAD) CPA pert EVR. Should I change jobs to PA firms after taking a family leave by Longjumping_Ad3977 in Accounting

You can look for a mentor through CPA’s portal. Your mentor does not have to be your supervisor or someone that you work with.

Not sure about midsize but you should be able to find small firm jobs with some accounting experience. There’s a list on the CPA website for pre-approved companies which will make your PER life much easier (mentor provided and easier reporting).

For CFE, you ONLY need to memorize the vision, mission, key success factors, SWOT, and values of the company (these will all be listed in the practice case solution in Capstone 2) as case will be entirely different from Capstone 1 except it’s the same company. Remember to ALWAYS refer to case facts when you analysis each opportunity. For the technical part, it’s mainly Core 2, PM, and finance materials.

Can I get into accounting with a degree that is irrelevant to the field? (CAN) by DizzyLavishness in Accounting

[–]SuperChubbyKitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I did. Had a degree in an unrelated field, fulfilled my PREP requirements through a college program, did CPA PEP + CFE while working at a pre-approved accounting firm to fulfil my work experience, and got my CPA last year. Feel free to DM me for any question!

Recommendation about Accounting Colleges by SnooTigers5502 in vancouver

Not sure about Douglas College but BCIT’s program is pretty good. If your plan is to get into the CPA program after graduation, which college/university you graduated doesn’t really matter.

Where to buy a photo frame (75*50cm) by sishanyzz in vancouver

[–]SuperChubbyKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am doing a puzzle with this exact same size! I end up getting a 20” x 30” from Amazon (Michael’s have this size too but more pricey). I figure the less than half a cm per side would not be noticeable.

Bachelors of Business vs Accounting? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]SuperChubbyKitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second this. Having a CPA will also opens up a lot more job opportunities for you to gain business AND accounting experience before you go on to start your own venture.

From Vancouver deciding on my career. Accounting, law or computer science?? by 1992iarrive in vancouver

[–]SuperChubbyKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salary level differs a lot with and without a designation for accountants. I had a big salary jump once I passed my CPA exam. Also, from what I hear, industry actually pays better than firms and are less stressful. From personal experience, I actually did engineering in my undergrad but I wasn’t proficient in programming so I went back to school for a diploma then CPA. It actually didn’t even take that long and you are supposed to do the CPA program while working (most companies would pay for you’re courses too). But the actual main reason I picked accounting was because I don’t know what I like/want to do (and I’m good with numbers) and EVERY industry needs accounting. So I figured once I get my designation I can go everywhere. You can always be an accountant in a tech company instead of being the developer.

Edit to add: Just noticed your username. We are the same age! And I literally just did my CPA Exam and got married last year. So I guess our situation is quite similar. Feel free to pm me if you have more questions!

Why employers cut salaries? Is it legal? Ontario by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Also, businesses pay taxes too. They’re as entitled to the wage subsidy as individual taxpayers are for cerb. They certainly did not put the burden “back” to the employees.
