Does anyone have any insight into partners retiring early? I am at a point where I need to consider leaving if I am not aiming for partner. I don’t see myself working past my 40s.

I have been assured I will become SM in next year (currently 31 years old).

Anyone have recs for a Nephrologist/Kidney doc?

Anyone up for grabbing a drink tonight ? Plano, Frisco?

I’ve opened up a smart investor ISA with Barclays but thinking of moving to vanguard. Thoughts, opinions?

FAR on Saturday - Absolutely terrified. I feel like there’s so much I don’t know how to do and idk how to handle not knowing everything.

Anyone switched from Becker to Wiley and regretted it? I did and though I appreciate the bite-sized lectures, I don't enjoy it as much as Becker. My access for Becker expired already and I don't want to spend 2k again 😭 such a tough choice to make but I feel like I'm not getting what I need from Wiley.

Is there a way to download the pre-anoted notes?

What’s the best advice and also the worst advice people have heard for dealing with BEC specifically? Thank you!

Just walked out of FAR test, literally cried after submitting it. SIMS were something I got ripped off by, can say clearly 4 out of 8 sims I kind of missed completely...😭😭😭 don’t know if I can ever get over this

Anyone need a CPA tutor (very affordable and flexible on time). If interested please message me! I can meetup if you’re in LA or can do virtual with non LA folks. I got 90s and above on all the tests and passed on my first time! Thanks :)

Taking FAR soon! Currently reviewing the book and wanted to see if y’all had any advice on what modules/sections to cover more then others? Been hearing Gov/NFP is a big one. Anyone care to share what the exam was like for them and what it mainly covered?

Calling on my fishbowl community to help me pass FAR. Just purchased Becker Pro. Have taken it twice before about a year ago and best score was a 70. Best strategy? Thank you in advance!

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

How important is QBI for REG?

Got a 74 in AUD after being an auditor for two years... my first exam and I’m feeling like maybe I’m just not smart enough to pass these exams

What was the hardest section to get through for REG studying? Did it then pay off in the exam?

Took the NINJA practice exam for REG and got a 72. What is the average difference between the mock and actual?

taking REG tomorrow at 9:30AM, praying that I studied enough😅

For FAR, what do most people think is a realistic number of modules to get through per day/week while working full time. For me, the hour lectures generally take up to 2-3 weekdays to get through lecture, MCQ, Skills, and Sims. By the time the weekend comes, I’m exhausted and need a break, but this seems too slow.

Took REG twice and got 69 both times without studying business law. Best believe I am going to study business law to the death of me

SCORES ARE UP!

I only have Reg left. I failed it once before. For those who have passed Reg what were some of things you focused on? Also if you have any study tips I would really appreciate it, tax has never come naturally to me.

how in the world are people passing REG?? i just got to R4 and i feel like i legitimately know nothing like I’m doing quite horribly on all MCQs so far
