KPMG just announced per diem/OT meals can be used for groceries ($20/day). They initially said no groceries, but have gone back on the plan. Do other firms allow this?

RSM doesn’t accept grocery reimbursements- “hot meals/restaurants only”. It wasn’t officially part of the after hours meal policy until December yet even way before that time they were still rejecting any expense reports that had grocery store receipts 👎

CohnReznick isn’t giving us anything unless we’re in the office/at a client, and then it’s still meals only. I’d love if they included groceries, since I meal prep year round, so I rarely use the busy season meals.

The LA office was able to submit grocery receipts pre-pandemic

While WFH? I mean, that’s a tax thing, not a firm decision to make. 🙄

I don’t get it, just spend 20 on groceries, and submit an expense. Do you guys have to show receipts?

We have to use the corporate card.

I think it’s called our salary

I need a change so badly I’m on the verge of tears almost every day. I’ve invested so much preparing for this career. I know I have so much talent that’s not being utilized. I feel stifled and stuck. I don’t need the health insurance but I’m terrified of giving up financial security. Any suggestions in NH for a sp ed with a MS in ed tech integration and a CAGS in Ed leadership. I am driven by identifying systems and creative problem solving and also have a background in art & design.
