@D1 you are the jackass that makes running the WIP annoying. It’s usually 0.5 intervals, just for ease of the managers especially when your team is 40-50 people large.

Use a pivot after you run the wip pwc. Not sure why you’re looking at detail time like that anyway.

Hahaha pwc2 you are either working under a micromanager or your office is doing something weird, because I can tell you right now that the offices I've ever worked in just do a pivot table and compare actual to budget like any other sane accountant...

We are given discretion. In the end most of our engagements are fixed fee and any additional 1/2 hrs you “overcharge” will only slightly impact realization.

I do 6 minutes.

We can record time down to the one hundredth of an hour so I assume we can bill to that.

EY1 because here at pwc we detail review each and every line item of the wip to test for reasonableness. Every entry is material

You’re dumb. You can literally aggregate by person, by activity code, by date or whatever the hell else you want to and any combination of such. You are just wasting time by not effectively learning how to analyze information.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
