My friend started his own firm and has been undercutting his previous top 25 firm since they charge hourly and usually have a preparer, reviewer and partner look at the return so it’s a lot of billable hours for a single shareholder physician. This appears to be a great market to go after since it seems like this type of client is too small for middle market firms and perfect for a soloprenuer that came from a middle market firm. 🤔

Okay finance lawyers. I don't understand this issue. Client says books show we're highly profitable but we have no way to pay our tax liability.... Well where the hell did tbe money go ? Client also claims that they are only taking a small portion of the revenue as profit. I don't understand how your books can be different than reality.

Do you ever conduct the hiring process for a research project? What do you look for in potential hires?

Hi Fishes,

I have offer from both nagaroo and Publicis sapeint. Project is not decided in PS but Nagarro hire me for the ZS Client itself.

I am looking for job security, wlb and good project to work on.

Fishes, can you please suggest which should I join?

Partners, what are signs/examples that a project’s leadership is prioritizing the clients needs over the team beyond the normal ‘nature of client service’? Is a convo is worth it?

Heard from me:

“Oh, junior person, you have edits to the monthly activity report 3 days after your deadline to review the report, and after I sent it to the client? How lovely for you."

Hi friends! I’m looking for resources to help me be successful in a “Functional Lead” role.

The role is in FinTech
I’m responsible for strategy, comms and key partnerships for a bank product. It reports through Customer Experience but touches product, Ops. marketing. It’s basically a Project Manager role but more nuanced.

Anyone out there in a role like this? Any books. videos or even best practices to share?

Hii
How is dbs project in ibm in term of wlb, carrier growth etc.

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Morning all- looking for a referral for remote position: project manager, implementation manager, PMP certified and will be obtaining Agile cert by end of year. 10+ years experience, also MBA grad.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Fishes,

I have got a meeting invite from a person with another one in CC with subject 'Invitation: Potential Staffing Opportunity'.

Can somebody please explain what's this meeting is about?

TIA

Hi Fishes,
I have been working with Walmart for the past 14 months and have recently got an offer from Blackrock for 45 LPA.
Considering the recession and US market scenario, help me understand if it will be a good move to join BlackRock OR should I continue with Walmart with the current compensation.

PS. I am not happy with growth prospects in the current project in Walmart.

Role : Data Scientist

Was there any affect on your project due to Melbourne shutdown..........I see another potential lay-offs wave coming for Deloitte😬

If the ultimate goal is to move in pharma/biotech (bd / strategy type role), does prestige of consulting firm matter? Or would it be better to work for less known firm that may have more client facing opportunities?

Hi Team,
Need your inputs. Is stability more important than the opportunity?

I have an opportunity to explore how ever it's been only 6 months in current organization.

Can I take the offer and switch? Does it affect the stability?

Please help.

Has anyone else experienced this while interviewing?

Hi guys any one knows about finance partner profile in pwc ?

Can someone remind me what it's like to be in public and not in busy season? My brain can't go back 9 months

First-year tax staff that started end of Q3, and just had my first year-end performance evaluation meeting. Still a blank slate in terms of tax experience, but I honestly do have a slight interest in international tax. Brought it up and I was given some names to find some work opportunities in that area. Besides SALT, any other specialized areas I should try to get some experience in? Also open to any tips and tricks to help tailor my workflow and experiences for the months to come.

LA vs Boston. Which city pays higher? Big4 tax

I’m having trouble working in Tax. I’m overwhelmed and am feeling like I’m not producing my best work. I want to talk to someone at work about it but a) I don’t know who to go to and b) feel like it’s not worth it because there’s nothing that anyone can do but tell me to get a different job. I feel like I SHOULD say something to someone though, right? Idk. I’ve been on the job hunt for a while now and am not really having any luck, which is just adding to my despair. What should I do?

Do you ever wish you could just go home at 6, play with your kids till they fall asleep, and then have a glass of wine with your wife before an early bedtime & sleep 8 hours?

How often do you come across Schedule F? I have prepped 3 tax returns for farmers this busy season? It’s interesting. I’ve worked for large and small firms. I never had to deal with Schedule F until now.

In Texas & my CPA CPE hrs are due this month. The corona virus has really impacted my work/plan to finish them and I’m worried I won’t get them done. Anyone know anything about possible extensions?

Have people been going through year-end and seeing sizable raises due to inflation? Or are raises being kept in check due to slumping economy?

Any public accounting firms in Albuquerque?

Once a vaccine is found (assuming it'll be in the next 12 months) how long do you think it'll take the economy to rebound?

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role? I've worked for the past 3 years in a practice that is heavily consulting based (inbound and outbound structuring) and I feel like I'm only just starting to understand the foundational concepts (where I can explain them clearly to clients) and offering a shred of value. Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming

Through a lot of comp discussions I heard a lot of talk of “making you whole” when things get better. Am I drinking the kool-aid by believing this? Is this just meant to prevent further questions that the firm does not know the answer to?

Anyone recommend their firm for fed tax? Looking to stay in PA in a top 20 to continue working remotely.

I am curious how Onesource Income tax stacks up against it's competition.

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.

Got an offer (yay!) and waiting on hireright to complete the background check. Anyone had experience with them since the pandemic and if so, how long did it take?

Today’s my bday. Also my beloved family dog is getting put to sleep due to cancer. I didn’t take the day off today for either reasons. Do I have my priorities messed up right now?

I have more than 12 years of tax attorney experience at biglaw and big4. Are there any big4 positions that pay more than 200k? National Tax? Anything else?

I miss BNA 🥺

Do you feel like turnover has now diminished after this busy season or will it kick up again as we approach the next one?

At this point, I'm wondering if most firms have hired enough people or they are still on the lookout due to shortage.
