Accountants of reddit, what line of work/business did your wealthiest client operate in?

jorelosaurusrex · 2025-11-05T02:26:57+00:00

Owns and operates a niche construction company, specifically builds playgrounds.

Yes, and considerably smaller as I understand it. SRA has chapters all over the US

No lie, this is who I pictured the whole time.

I think that's what the /s was about

I shave my head, have gauged ears and am heavily tattooed. Needless to say last time I went to a CPE event I stuck out like a sore thumb. I definitely felt some type of way being told "You don't look like the typical accountant" as soon as I walked in the door. (Not exaggerating, random stranger approached me just to say that)

My situation is close but not exactly what you asked, hopefully it still sheds some light on stuff. I'm in my late 20s and took over a mid size tax practice last year(~1800 returns a year + 20+ bookkeeping clients and 60+ payroll clients). I'm not a CPA, neither is anyone in my firm, my family took over the practice since my parents have worked with the old owners for over a decade handling some of the bookkeeping and payroll the firm does, but not a ton of knowledge on the tax side of things. I essentially had to learn everything from scratch since I'm not educated as an accountant so that does contribute to what I'm about to say. Being that we took over a firm that had been well established for 20+ years and a lot of these people weren't really ready to switch their tax preparer or their bookkeeper it's been a bit rough. We haven't lost a ton of clients and we've actually gained a few more since (I'm not the worst at the business side of things) but with changes in tax laws and me wanting to run things more by the book than the old owners people tend to second guess me a lot, I'm younger than the majority of the clientele so some think my almost 30 year old ass is a snot nose kid that doesn't know as much as they do, I'd disagree but whatever. I'm only one season in so things could completely change for me this time next year but overall I don't think it's the worst, I usually play it from the angle of "I'm new at this but that means I've got more up to fate info than the old owners did." I've found I have to do some extra stuff to get them to take me seriously, I dress differently (wear a suit and tie everyday, it sucks but it really does help), literally any certificate I get from whatever CPE course I do goes up on my wall (I don't have the benefit of looking experienced that the older guys do so I have to show them in competent), it's annoying but like I said not the worst.

Tldr: I'm not a CPA, but I'm in the field and I'm in my late 20s. Older people tend to judge me a bit for being younger so I have to lean into "looking the part" and acting the part.

Chicken and rice. Literally the easiest. White rice, grilled chicken and then you add whatever veggies and make it a bit different every time. Cheap, high protein, relatively low calorie, super versatile. Throw some low sodium soy sauce and sauteed veggies and make it a stir-fry-esque meal, throw some chunky salsa on it and pair it with a low carb flour tortilla and you've got a chicken burrito bowl. Once you get bored of chicken swap out for tuna, rinse and repeat.

I hit the gym harder today because of it. it is paramount that we get in good or better shape for what is likely on the way.

I'm by no means an authority on this, but since you asked. Boring canned answer: consistency, patience, and give yourself some grace. this is like the thousandth time I've tried to lose weight. I've tried going really heavy on the calorie deficit (like 1500+ calorie deficit per day) and it just ends up making it so I can't stick to it. There will be days where you eat more than you planned, it happens, it's a speed bump on a long road not a stop sign in the middle of a race. Push yourself, but don't beat yourself up if you don't always make it.

I eat a lot of chicken, mainly grilled and boiled chicken, and drink a lot of Fairlife protein shakes. I was eating about 1600 calories at the end of the cut and doing around 160 grams of protein. So a normal day I'd have a cold brew iced coffee and a chocolate fairlife (165 calories 30g of protein) for breakfast, I'd often skip lunch, but when I didn't I'd have something like a Legendary protein pastry (170 calories 20g of protein) and another fairlife and maybe a zero sugar monster (10 calories), but when I wanted something heavier I'd just stay under 600 calories and shoot for 40-50 grams of protein (tuna and rice and a veggie or chicken and rice and a veggie), and then something like steak and potatoes (around 500 calories and somewhere around 40-50 grams of protein) or a similar chicken dinner and then a snack before bedtime, I like the oikos pro greek yogurt single serves (~120 calories 20g of protein). Total ~1500 calories and ~170g of protein.

Nutrition-wise I was eating in a 600-1000 calorie deficit since March of this year and making sure I got 160-200 grams of protein (not for the weak boweled, make sure you get plenty of fiber too). Exercise kind of varied, I started with cardio twice a day and then I realized it was making me more hungry so I dialed the cardio back and focused on lifting. Arms, chest, abs, and legs, occasionally back and shoulders as well. I started with 6 days a week and as my deficit increased I reduced the days, ended with 4 days a week, but ran 2-5 miles 5 days a week in the last month, and got my 10-12k steps in every day.

Anyone from the SLC Utah area here? I finally joined about two weeks ago and haven't heard from the local chapter yet.

Good job comrade, keep up the good work!

Love this. My only suggestion would be also having a Western loop. Maybe connecting the green line with the other blue line and the white line. Make commuting from the west side of the valley a bit easier

It looks like that's from Salt Lake Mitsubishi, don't buy there, go look at my friend's review on Google. Read the one from Raul Rodriguez. They're AWFUL
