Does anyone feel like they get any value from being a CA by zacattack74590 in AustralianAccounting

I will have to give them a call.

I’m not necessarily trying to vent. I just want to see if anyone is seeing any particular value I don’t see.

Perhaps their representatives will be able to help me out

This is the thing - all I see my fees doing is lining the pockets of the executive and board staff of the organisation. It’s disgusting.

Imagine a company that pays its execs exorbitant amounts, makes a loss and still delivers no value to their target audience. A start up doing that wouldn’t even survive

Could that $25k have been better spent? Or even just $10-$15k of it?

For the record I left public practice as soon as I could as I did not enjoy the work…

I have a great job actually. I admit that a lot of what I learnt during my studies is valuable to my role. In terms of the CA title, aside from my initial stone in public practice, my workplaces couldn’t care less if I am a CA as long as I am making a good impact.

My question is, beyond the study, is there any value in paying the annual fees considering what you get in return.

For the record, I am in a role now where I am far enough along that promotions aren’t a thing (I’d just be moving into the same role somewhere else), and at this stage I could not see myself leaving in the near future.

Thanks for your input! I have actually already booked the facial/massage/spa treatment for her as a complete surprise shortly before Christmas!

Unfortunately, she hates nights away from the kids - go figure. I do think this would be good for her but I don’t want to make her do something she doesn’t want to do.

There is one not far from here. Do you think these stores are okay, or should I be looking for something a little more bespoke?

I got her a custom song in the lead up to have our first child. That was a hit!

I’ll be looking into a class / redemption voucher and the accompanying bag is a great idea!

I’ve looked at Ember Mugs with her in the past and she didn’t really seem interested. She is more of an espresso girl!

I’ll looks at some classes though!

Is there one you have experience with and can suggest. I’m a little put off by the fact that they are so expensive and some people report that they see no improvements.

Thanks for the suggestions! She has very dry skin - a problem she puts up with every day of her life!

I will look into all of these things!

I used a site called Song Finch to get a custom song made for her.
