Neither. Both are horrible.

Internal audit. I'd rather go in and say - yup you doing it wrong vs. getting told I'm doing wrong. Get me ?

No I don't! My audit life doesn't include telling the client they are wrong. It's always just documenting things away.

Lol. I hate those jobs. Like what are we even doing? - not auditing. After I hear a manager say that... I then accept any crummy support as evidence and shut the audit down - no push back on any support. It's all good.

We have a partner here? Thanks for your input but I really hate audit

I've heard that both internal audit and fund accounting suck, but if I had to choose, I'd probably work at the bank. Really make your decision based on who you're going to be working with. Good people make all the difference.

Gross.

Do you record your unbillable time? I have had conflicting responses. I have been told it's not good for efficiency calculations but others have told me if your still doing work let people know. For example, I get weird international stuff sometimes that not everyone gets (I think maybe? ) and I need to reread the 5471 rules or 8865 rules as I do the returns. I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
