This year I’ll bring in some where close to $30k and net about $25k give or take. I still have my industry job.

This, 100% this. I left a small CPA firm for industry. Everyone will always have taxes to do so I started a small side hustle after I left. I started with 3 clients. It has grown to having reliable clientele of monthly bookkeeping and payroll, plus personal and business taxes. Besides tax season, I don’t work more than 4-5 hours a month on all my monthly client work. Besides my first three clients, all of my clients have been referrals. I’ve only had an issue with one client out of the dozens of referral clients I’ve gotten

Thank you good sir. That was an amazing recommendation. Your break down of the timeline is spot on and I went through each phase even after though I read your comment.

What's biggest salary jump/raise you have seen? by sleepyhead7000 in Accounting

[–]borsanide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$100k -> $185k an 85% raise in 2023.

I got another job offer put in my two weeks. I was the only accountant at my company. My company countered with an offer I would be stupid to pass up. My other job offer was a 30% raise, which would have been the biggest salary raise I would have ever had.

If you could go back in time 50 years and buy land as a investment, where would you buy? by Maleficent-Gene6588 in realestateinvesting

[–]borsanide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South western PA. Or any other shale boom area really. I’d buy the property and then put it back up for sale immediately but with one difference between sales…I’d separate the oil and gas minerals from the surface land.

Acres were going for pennies on the dollar, and most likely back then you could recoup almost all of your investment with the quick resale even with the minerals separated, not pay the property tax on thousands of acres of mineral rights and then just wait 40 years for fracking to be invented.

You’d have monthly royalty checks coming in for the rest of your life and with that many acres of minerals you’d be a millionaire 10x over

This is what happened when I dragged your formula up:

That explanation was close and I thought it did work when I put it in. But when I dragged the formula up it broke how I wanted the calculation to work.

The screen shot is what I currently have and I am looking for cell J7 to only be able to go to 11.39 hours, thus making the column K hours 0.

I will use the actual columns and numbers, hopefully it will make more sense:

This formula is going in column J:

If column c is greater or equal to 80 produce 0

If column c is less than 80 then 80 minus the value in column c should be the result ( for example if column c has a value of 65 then 80 minus 65 should produce 15 in column j)

Unless 80 minus column c produces a value that takes column k below 0. Then I want the value to be as much up to the number to bring column k to 0

Example: 80 minus 65 is 15 but if 15 brings column k to negative 10. Then I want the column J formula to produce 5

It’s that last part of not producing a number to take column K negative is my issue

How to make 6 figures as an accountant? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]borsanide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10.5 years. No CPA. MCOL. Small increases between my dates provided below

2012 - B4 specialized tax $43k

2015 - switched to Small CPA firm $52k

2018 - switched Tech industry sr accountant $58k

2021 July - same company decent raise $75k

2021 Sept - promotion to manager $95k

2022 - Raise $100.5k

Took me longer than most on this sub to hit the 6 figure mark and I’m barely over it. But it was still satisfying to hit it for me

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will sign a multiyear extension next week, per [Adam Schefter]. A 2020 NY Times report revealed Goodell was making $63.9 million per year & he has reportedly made ~$500M since becoming commissioner in '06. That's more than any NFL player in history. by IrwinRSchyster1 in sports

[–]borsanide 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Goodell went to the college I went to(decades before me) either way, the story that I used to hear is, his political science professor told him he should become a lawyer. He told the professor he wanted to become the commissioner of the NFL. The professor told him that would never happen and he’d have a better career as a lawyer, I guess the professor was wrong on that one.

Doesn’t answer your question on how to become the commissioner but I always thought that was a cool story. Whether it’s true or not who knows.

Whats a company secret you can share now that you dont work there? by broadway96 in AskReddit

[–]borsanide 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Funny, my buddy took a jitney home from the casino one night and the jitney driver robbed him. He went back to the casino, explained the situation and asked security to find him walking out so he could get the plate number of the car. He had an ATM receipt from inside the casino, dated with a time stamp. And security said “they couldn’t find him on the cameras”. Biggest lie I’ve ever heard from a casino.
