I've been contemplating about leaving PA and starting my own CPA for a while now... anyone know of any success stories or advice/tips before making this move?

Hey guys — I want to invest in crypto (yes, very late) but not sure what platform to use. I work at a bank so want to be conscious of compliance issues too, if any. What’s best right now? Robinhood? Coinbase? Thanks in advance!

Planning a day out with my husband for his bday. Any fun, unique activities to plan? We’ve done the obvious stuff

To sum up my audit experience, glad I picked audit over tax. But wished I stayed away from public accounting altogether.

I’m hating my job so bad I fantasize about walking out on my boss. My work itself is enjoyable but my boss (co-founder and CEO of a Series C startup) has become such a pain it ruins my mental health and family life. Working 12-15hrs everyday, working on many weekends, yet no appropriate for my work. We are mostly remote so a lot of interactions are over Slack. Now, I could never imagine one can be so obnoxious and mean over Slack messages when talking about work. I want to run away everyday.

What do y’all like to do on weeknights?

Has anyone noticed that busy season is changing into a marathon, not a sprint? I’m working close to 60 billable hours/week year round, and 70+ Feb - April. Is this a bigger trend?

Does anyone know if you could file a non-automatic and an automatic change on the same 3115? I have a situation where a non-automatic change needs to be filed to move items from building to 5 and 15 year property as a result of a cost seg. Also want to do the automatic change from 40 to 30 years ADS for Residential Real Property under 163j. Missed the deadline to file the non-automatic in 2020 and doesn’t make sense to do the 40 to 30 change first.

I have two job offers from start-up companies:

Option 1 - well known fintech company and about to go IPO. Will be doing corporate tax. Probably will turn into hybrid of WFH/coming into the office.

Option 2 - series A (been around about 3 years). Tax operation with high possibility of being exposed to other areas in accounting and finance of the company. Fully remote.

Compensation from both companies are the same. I would appreciate some advice on which option would you choose and why.

I want to transfer to audit after a year as analyst in Big 4 tax. It is doable? Should I start by having a chat with coach? I’ve only seen people transfer from Audit to tax but haven’t seen the opposite in my team. I don’t hate tax but I might need to move to another country at one point and tax is too geographically limited. Also, I prefer being a generalist than being a specialist. And reading income tax act isn’t really my thing. Just don’t see myself being a tax expert and wanna try audit.

For EY and PwC, what are the best groups to be in for Tax? (NYC offices)

Have an interview tomm. with two RSM partners via webex. Has anyone given partner round recently ? What kinda questions do they ask & what exactly do they look for ? Certainly don’t think any Technical questions up at that level. However, correct me if i’m wrong.

Policy saying India being a country where one can’t do any client work while on personal time off. There is no flexibility in this especially when huge number of Indians work in KPMG US offices. What are other firms doing?

Currently working tax at a Midsized firm, the largest in my city, and we have reached a tipping point where every additional resignation means more work for those left. The firm has only doubled down on old rhetoric demanding people back in office and 55 hrs min a week to get the work done.

This is my first white collar job, and I'm wondering if every firm is like this, if I should jump ship too, or if I'm being a stupid millennial.

Any guidance would be great.
Thanks!

I constantly feel guilty for logging off early even on one day a week - well not early but I worked from 8:30am-6:30pm and feel like I’m the only one not online currently. I also obsessively keep checking teams on my phone to see who else at my level is working longer hours. I know this doesn’t sound normal so please help with any suggestions!!!

Which group in EY tax doesn’t have busy seasons?

I’m a CPA and everyone automatically assumes that I know everything about taxes and always ask me questions. That being said I have a friend who owns multiple investment properties as an LLC but wanted to inquire about potentially forming an S Corp, so I told her the basics but wanted to actually give her more in depth info. If someone could help me out I would appreciate, a DM is ok as well so we could exchange contact info.
