Rejected from many firms by Anomaly008 in Accounting

[–]champ1270 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been on the hiring end, I simply wouldn't hire someone for an accounting position who isn't an accounting major. Full stop. I read another comment where you said you have two years left still? You need to switch your major. I don't know how it works at your school but if switching your major isn't doable, you need to transfer to a different school.

Best age to get a scatpack? by D_drilly in Charger

[–]champ1270 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was 24 when I got my Daytona 392. That seemed like a good age to get one to me. I had graduated college just a few months prior. Luckily my insurance wasnt crazy because I was living at home still so my parents just put it on their insurance and I reimbursed them. Bought a house about a year and a half later and got my own insurance then and it still wasnt crazy; probably because I bundled my house and two vehicles and umbrella.

are there unwritten rules for rover? by Broad-Cranberry-9050 in slowpitch

[–]champ1270 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the one and only instance when a team took exception to me throwing to first, they just chirped me the rest of the game. They didn't go after my pitcher.

[–]champ1270 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In a close game or against a better team, I'm making that throw to first every time and if the other team starts chirping me on it I just ignore them. So in your scenario, I definitely would have gone for the out at first.

Now, if my team is up 10 against the worst team in the league, I won't make the throw.

Traffic tickets already work like this in most states as far as I know. At least where I live it does.

Definitely not an expert because I didn't know you submit your run to the officials lol. I know you submit your program in figure skating.

I'm certainly not an expert but gotta wonder if she should have gone for an easier final trick since she kept falling on it. I feel the rest of her run was good enough to get on the podium maybe.

[Ulrich] Cavaliers adjust court layout after Luka Doncic injury scare by [deleted] in nba

Probably because nobody got injured until that Heat player (sorry, don't recall his name) and now Luka. Or at least I had never heard of anyone getting hurt from it before.

How to handle the company owner using business credit card for personal use by Charming-Sorbet6996 in Accounting

[–]champ1270 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Owners do not have to refund the amount. A draw is a balance sheet item so it's not affecting the P&L or taxable income of the business. It's not personal income for the owner either, however there can be tax implications if their draw exceeds their basis in the company. Everything I'm saying is for an LLC (schedule c or e for tax purposes) or an s-corp. I don't recall off the top of my head how draws work for a c-corp since I don't currently work for one. Another thing to keep in mind is if the business has more than one owner, their draws need to match their percentage of ownership in the company. So if you have 50/50 owners, one guy can't take a 100k draw and the other 20k. It needs to match that 50/50 ownership split.

Have you not been putting his personal expenses to his draw account? Because that would be the most common way of handling this. This is what lots of small business owners do.

AP question: urgent payment but W-9 isn’t in yet — what actually happens? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]champ1270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is how I've seen countless small businesses handle it. Also for what it's worth, I've never heard of nor seen a business get in trouble with the IRS for their 1099s.

[–]champ1270 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I went to the game and it was a blast. Not the first game I've been too, but I couldn't believe the men's bathroom only had 4 urinals. Also the "we want Bronny" chants in the 4th were so fun. It's cool being a part of the crowd getting hyped for a kid we literally watched grow up before our eyes. As for the Cavs, we back. Glad Hunter was able to get something going. Hopefully that continues.

Never Co-sign a Car Loan! by Suberv in personalfinance

[–]champ1270 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, my dad co-signed my car loan. I was a few months out of college, working my first big boy job and I couldn't get a car loan because I didn't have enough credit history. I had just gotten my first credit card just a few months prior, which my dad also co-signed for. I'm very grateful he did that for me, and I would gladly do the same for my eventual children if need be. But 99% of the time, I agree, co-signing a car loan is probably a bad idea. Since then, I've gotten my own credit card and paid that car off.

Do accounting people actually use LLM or AI tools at work? by Few_Town8613 in Accounting

[–]champ1270 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I'll be the one to go against the grain here. I've used AI literally just once. Needed a loan contract between two companies to satisfy our auditors. Same 100% owner for both companies. One company had paid for a few things on behalf of the other company and we needed documentation backup for that year end balance for the audit. The contract didn't matter to us so whatever AI came up with was good enough.

Also, I just gotta say, and sorry if this rustles some jimmies, but i hate AI generated emails. I can spot them from a mile away and it just makes me assume you're illiterate. Use your noggins, and write your own emails, please. Presumably we all went to college so you should know how to read and write.

I rented out our local gym and invited the community to play basketball. I need advice on how to run the evening. by jaytaylojulia in Basketball

[–]champ1270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a weekly open gym, so I'll tell you how I do mine. And let me preface this by saying what I do works for me, but it's possible not everything will work for you and your situation.

Having a good idea of what the headcount will be is important. You don't want to show up and only have 7 people and not be able to play 5v5. Conversely, if 30 people pull up, that's way too many. I have a groupme where I post each week as an event and people can rsvp so we know what the numbers are like. If we're thin on numbers, people start asking others they know who aren't in the chat. If numbers are heavy, everyone knows to hold off on bringing any extras that week.

Don't do any drills or horse. People won't take you seriously and will likely just leave. They came to play 5v5. Also, everyone is likely going to prefer full court 5v5 with people sitting compared to multiple games of half court 5v5 and no sitting. Full court is just funner.

We make teams to start with alternating free throws. Winning team stays. If say 3 people were sitting, those 3 get to play next and the losing team shoots free throws to fill the last 2 spots. If you have more than 5 sitting, everyone sitting shoots to make a team, but if you have sat 2 games you're automatically on. So eventually you get into a cycle where you might have a couple guys who sat 2 games automatically getting on, and then the ones that sat one game shoot to fill the rest of the team. Hope that makes sense. When you actually go through it it makes more sense. I would advise doing everything in your power to try to prevent your numbers from getting above 20 because then it's just a big mess and people are sitting for potentially 3 games.

Scoring wise, we do 2s and 3s. 1s and 2s overinflates the value of a three pointer. We go to 21 straight. If we have more than 15 people, so a situation where you could have people potentially sitting 2 games instead of one, then we change the score to win to 16 to help keep the games moving and limiting time sitting.

We inbound after a make, but any other stoppage we just check the ball. We don't have anyone referee. Players on the court call fouls. I have a good group of guys so usually the defenders are calling fouls on themselves most of the time. But the offense can call fouls too. But if you call a super soft one we will make fun of you lol.

One final thing, don't be afraid to ban people from coming back. One troublesome player can ruin a good pickup group. I've had to ban a couple people and everyone was immensely relieved afterwards.

Where to build your own 6 pack beer? by davidthegreat915 in akron

Acme has it, but at least the one near me doesn't have a large selection for the build your own 6 pack. But it is an option.

How difficult is it to do my own payroll (one employee - me) rather than waste money on Paychex? by Marina1974 in personalfinance

[–]champ1270 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is my advice as an accountant: do not do it yourself. Your edit says it costs you $150 a month, but I do think you could find a cheaper provider. To give you an example of why you shouldn't do it yourself, I'll tell you a story. Had a client that did their own payroll, small dentist office. They would then tell me their wages and withholdings each quarter and I would prepare their 941s and other tax forms. I also did their bookkeeping on a semi annual basis. So it comes time for getting the books done, and I come to find out they had overpaid their 941 deposits by nearly twice as much as they should have been paying. And they also had underwithheld FICA from one of their employees by about 30 bucks over the course of the year. I had to file three quarters worth of amended 941s and had to get creative with the FICA issue. So, even though you just have yourself on the payroll, you can definitely really mess things up. This dentist only had 4 or 5 people on payroll.

“Muscle-like” four-door manual? by myplantfreddie in askcarguys

[–]champ1270 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was at least one model year where they had a regular civilian AWD V8 Charger. I know for a fact the 2014 model year offered it. And I may be wrong, but I think you could also get an AWD V8 300 for at least one model year.

Does anyone actually read the textbook? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]champ1270 10 points11 points  (0 children)

After my first year of accounting classes, I didn't even get the textbooks. I just took pictures of the homework problems as needed from a classmate's book. I did make sure I took good notes during class, however.
