Working in big4 FP&A transformation consulting but want to earn a CPA as well. According to Claude (i know i know ) the fp&a consulting work should qualify for CPA experience in California. Would it be difficult to find a coa to review and certify my experience from the accounting practice? Is this done?

It’s best to look at the licensure rules for the state by going to the relevant state website. Also, investigate internally at your firm. I had to have a sign off for experience when getting my NY license (original was IL) when I was at a Big 4. There were a lot of consultation calls before they determined my experience counted and the designated partner for that task would sign off. For context I was licensed in IL, but was required to get a license for the state where my office was located. NY required 3 more semester hours of finance than IL. My options were to take a finance class (during busy season) or meet the work requirement. I chose the latter.

Are you currently working under a CPA that'll sign off on your experience?
I was told, back in the day, that it depends on what you're actually doing in FP&A.

Most FP&A experience is so far removed from actual accounting. If they accept it, they should just remove the experience requirement altogether, IMO.

Hello All,

Can anyone please help me here.
I have made my tax payment in July 2022 but yesterday (15 Nov 2022) I receive an email that tax payment is due for assessment year 2022-23

I called to help desk and he advised to raise rectification request from Tax portal and update the challan number. I tried to raise request but need to upload some XML or json file there. I am not sure how to upload or modify that file.

Does anyone know what steps need to follow as I already made my tax payment.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
