Hello to all the professionals in this group,
I recently started my job about 3 months ago, but I still feel new and have a lot to learn. I’m a staff accountant, and I’m still trying to understand how the accounting concept works at my company. Do you have any recommendations on how to learn more quickly at work? I’m still struggling with answering and understanding emails that come from the Operations team. Thank all for your advices.

Hi, what vendors do you like for 360 assessments?

I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate. This individual has a doctorate in business with a focus in HR, her SPHR, Federal, and private sector experience at the singer level, and has a fabulous personality. I’m curious is anyone else having difficulties play some candidates like this? At this point I’m starting to think it’s racial or her sex based of the lack of interest in this candidate. Any thoughts?

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?

Estimated tax payment question:
