I would read the policy. For EY, it specifically states that we get reimbursed up to $60 that is specific to your phone service. No equipment. Since you are a new hire, the best thing to do during your free time is reading all your companies policies. You’ll be amazed on what you would find (food expenses, phone expenses, hotels, flights, etc.)

Doesn’t BDO have a standard amount you can put through? RSM is $40 for manager and up and $25 for below manager

Not that I’m aware of. From my understanding we can expense what is “business related”

It’s dependent on your service line. Workplace guide states that the phone charges - data and the phone charge - is at the discretion of your OMP or practice leader. My group I’m able to expense my entire phone bill but just not the portion related to the purchasing of the phone. Other groups they allow up to a certain amount.

Ask your boss. $75 in my office for seniors and up. But it’s discretionary per office. No policy nationally for BDO
