Some people are good learners, and some people aren't. When someone is in their first couple of years, you're not going to know how good they are at learning until you spend the time teaching them.
Give constructive feedback, push up to leadership if you're having persistent problems, and let the chips fall where they may. Do your best to train them, and be patient when they seem to be trying their best as well.
If it takes you two years to understand you might be in the wrong profession.
I was super dumb too, but I do think the last few classes are extra special. Please don’t use emojis and slang “no cap” or “bet” in a work email. Also, the quality of writing has severely declined. How did they make it through college like this?
I love to teach others because it makes my workload less when I can delegate to them, but wow if I have to tell you that we need the entire document to be the same font one more time….
I’m not even that picky. If it’s an internal WP, I could care less if calibri and Garamond are touching. But can we at least read the references and pull the one number from the TB or client support that looks the exact same as PY. Even use slang internally, idc. But don’t drop the f bomb at a client site. I am over🫣🫠 all of it
Can't believe people work at an accounting firm and don't know squat. I suppose I would be considered as highly qualified. All the things discussed here, I am very knowledgeable about and have developed a sixth sense on finding and fixing problems. Journal entries/reversals, trial balances, analyzing accounts, Excel, (the things mentioned here that people can't learn) all these things are very basic to me. I retired a few years ago and retired my certificate. I have been doing other things but I still do bookkeeping for a few clients. Does anyone think I could get hired? What would I be worth? I'm not going to take the CPA exam again!
I think you can just renew your license. I'd check into it. And yes you could be part time and remote. Lotanof opportunities.
Because all companies are hiring the fresh bachelor degree young ones with zero experience and skillset in the real workforce as they have been in school trying to get that piece of paper you want. If you would hire us seaoned professionals without that piece of paper, we know what a trail balance sheet is and know how to take notes at a new job as to not repeat questions.
I’ve never worked in public accounting but I’ve trained many A1s over the years while being audited. Some of the questions are laughable but I have to keep a straight face and walk them through it.
I'm retired. If you have people that you have invested time , training and patience for two years and still are not getting it. Then it's obvious that they've picked the wrong line of work.
