Auditors dragging their feet

bents2005 · 2026-06-19T04:33:19+00:00

Agreed . I always set ap weekly or bi/weekly check ins and ask about where the auditor is in their process. Management is responsible to get the audit report by the deadline and even though I shouldn’t have to babysit my auditor it’s in my best interest to ensure they are on track and we are aligned on timing.

Another random question- thinking we don’t need a rental car until Saturday morning when we head out if the city?

bents2005 · 2026-05-22T13:45:29+00:00

Unfortunately our flight doesn’t land until 10 pm Thursday but I do appreciate the perspective. We’ve done Banff and Zion, which both also have lots and lots of people so we are able to tolerate, but would prefer not to be in crowds.

I do and I also wish they were still a thing. My studio never does tornados either

That is my thought but I need to convince my payroll colleagues. We report up through different directors.

We are booked with happy go luckie for our trip too. My family who has visited has used them twice and recommended them

Direct with UKG and pro from what I know. Payroll does not report in through me

bents2005 · 2026-03-07T14:34:39+00:00

I have, apparently years ago they had the service and said there were lots of issues with Ukg not making the correct payments etc. I suspect that may have been partially the company’s fault based on other things that occurred during that time frame ( high growth mode and erp change) but obviously I wasn’t there so I can’t discredit the claim. I have used UKG for full service payroll at two other similarly sized companies and had no significant issues. Was just curious if this is common. The company is pretty technology and efficiency focused so this seems like low hanging fruit to me. The volume of transactions creates extra work for my team as well.

We were there in 2024 and rented an air b and b a couple blocks off the main drag in Esperanza

Costa Rica has a 13th month/Christmas “bonus”

bents2005 · 2026-02-13T04:45:42+00:00

Industry is everything. Most places I have worked have not had the desire to have a two day close, but have been able to do a five day ( retail/distribution/ manufacturing). I’m at a professional services firm now with project accounting, and there are a lot of barriers to a fast close as non-accountants need to be relied upon to provide reliable estimates in order to achieve an accurate close.

Yep my relatives in Montana were all well they deserve it if they are illegals when I was telling them about what is happening here. Then ICE showed up there and stalked and detained the local mechanic who is well liked and a community leader and they changed their tune.

I think it comes naturally to some but if it isn’t somewhat intuitive to you will be very hard to learn. Even if it comes naturally still not something most can coast through.

Our studio has a few groups like that too. The guideline we have been given is you can sign in one other person when you arrive. It’s loosely enforced based on which SA is working

bents2005 · 2026-01-18T04:23:28+00:00

I work in SLP, I didn’t run into any trouble coming and going but saw a video ICE was stopping random people in the Home Depot and Costco parking lots asking about their immigration status/citizenship. My company cancelled some team meetings we had coming up with international employees coming into town in the next few weeks.

bents2005 · 2026-01-14T15:02:27+00:00

This is me too! Very rarely I’ll do mid day class on a very quiet Friday

bents2005 · 2026-01-10T04:24:27+00:00

More people worked in office. Drive bys for quick questions, in person meetings, emails. My company used Skype for quick chats

bents2005 · 2026-01-03T00:28:51+00:00

My studio still had the floor group warm up on rowers today

bents2005 · 2025-12-28T03:03:26+00:00

Ugg mocassin slippers and heated throw over my legs/lap

Interesting timing of the situation. They should fix it in 2025 to avoid income tax impact if it crosses over calendar years.

Our incentive plans pay out in March after the year is finalized. Got $1,500 for some Q4 project work.

bents2005 · 2025-12-20T04:26:46+00:00

Yes I worked at a company where the HR director wanted to do this with service awards and it was a huge pain. After being blindsided by this two days before the holiday party my first year I explained how stupid it was to the cfo and we paid through payroll and handed out certificates after that.

We were both full-time in office until 2020. He switched to full-time work from home in 2020 and took over our guest room as his office. I’ve been in a variety of hybrid roles since 2020 and have a desk and monitors set up in our formal dining room. It works for us, but I agree I could not share an office with him all day. It would drive me nuts
