Tariffs! Let’s talk about them! Are you guys seeing additional charges in regards to tariffs in your line of work? I saw a post on Reddit about some hotel chain actually charging $2 for a printed hotel receipt since they noted that they have a paper shortage!!!

I'm a little skeptical that a hotel would already have a paper shortage, but paper will definitely be a problem area when the trade war really starts to bite. I haven't encountered any charges yet that I know for certain are related to tariffs. But I've heard plenty of stories of people trying to buy supplies ahead of the real problems kicking in. The rest of the year promises to be difficult and memorable.

I see. Thank you for your perspective on this.

it's coming, our manufacturers are holding product to protect their inventory. Things are going to back up again similar to COVID.

Need advice. I’m at my first job in private accounting. Previous experience is as an auditor. I am struggling to figure out the way JEs are posted at my current company. It’s never straightforward even for simple entries. There’s things like settlements which confuse the crap out of me. I’m curious if it’s just my company or if every sophisticated accounting department will have non traditional ways of posting their journal entries.
