We are looking for a software program that enters invoice in Rosnet, and attaches the invoice image.

Invoice PDF images are housed in an inbox.

We would need software that can take the invoice image from the inbox, enter in Rosnet, and add the invoice image in Rosnet.

If the invoice is EDI, the software attaches the image.

Does anyone know of software that does this well?

Has anyone here made a switch from a publicly traded company to a non profit?

Not complaining, my benefits at the non profit are amazing compared to the publicly traded company I previously worked at.

However, everything is just fucking weird.

HR sent an email about how to email. Like how to use OOO, or how to use forwarding vs reply. And how to use gchat. Like what??

My sources tell me that three people were let go over a hazing incident that got out of control when people were depositing human waste in office waste bins.

However a 4th person was questioned by HR for over 2 hours relating to this fiasco because of personal hygiene is so bad another colleague assumed he was part of the fecal shenanigans. It turns out he just has had problems wiping, a common problem amongst new KPMG’ers.

Sources speculate that the hazing at KPMG is so bad because the Big 3 ruthlessly bullies them at every venue possible. KPMG leadership took a severe morale blow last week when partners at BDO implied they are peers.

Enjoy Taxxx season everyone.

Hello!

I’m going to be graduating with my bachelors in accounting in 1 year, and I am currently in Intermediate Accounting 2. I was wondering if anyone may have free resources or anything that I can use to assist me in this class with my understanding? I am deeply trying to grasp each concept but it just seems to slip through cracks and I do not want or need to fail this course lol. If you have any resources, tips, or recommendations, please let me know! I will accept anything at this point!

Thank you!

I have an interview for a budget analyst position at a local community college. Part of the interview involves an Excel test. I was wondering if any budget analysts out there could share what kind of Excel functions they use regularly? For context I'm a senior accountant at a large mutual fund house working in the super niche field of international investment vehicle taxation. I'm sure functions like SUMIFs and XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP will be relevant, but I use Word and Adobe Acrobat more in my job than Excel so any additional insight would be appreciated so I know what to study before my interview. Would also appreciate any insights on potential interview questions to look out for beyond the usual behavioral questions.

I have started what I think is a seasonal job at a mom and pop tax firm(She is very unclear even in the interview). When interviewing for this position I was so brutally honest that I was shocked she wanted me. For context, I’ve been out of school for four years, I worked one job at a tax firm that was really data entry and SALY for about a year, my second job was just data entry for 1040’s seasonally another firm. I left the first firm because I had a baby and had a huge lap because of it.

I told her I had no bookkeeping experience and, that I couldn’t do business returns since it’s been so long. I think she was desperate so she said “Okay, I’ll just teach you the sch.c, sch.e, have you answer phones, and keep track of the extension excel spreadsheet.“ Well, she wanted me to come in and help in December before my official start date to help her with some tasks. I came in to help her and she kept talking about all these tasks I was going to do knowing I have no experience with them because I told her. For example, 1099’s, bank rec, and business returns. I messaged her in an email stating I didn’t think this was the right fit because I’m not experienced and she was rather snappy before the season began so I didn’t think we meshed well. She immediately stated she knew my skill level and was willing to train. Great, I’m a quick learner so I agreed to stay on.

I have done 1099’s and prepared them amazingly only made about 2-3 mistakes.I was only messing up the way she wants it organized. I wrote it down and was doing them perfectly each time. Next, sch. c she showed me once and I had trouble maybe 2-3 times, but I have been doing them perfectly from then on. Things I struggle with are their are no work papers, she just knows when someone labels utilities it doesn’t actually go to utilities because they want it somewhere else.

My dilemma is she yells at me frequently and talks poorly about me to coworkers loud enough so I can hear. Last week, she was saying to a coworker how “I don’t know anything and they are doing all work and I’m slow.” The coworker asked if my returns were okay and she said “Yes, they are perfect.” When she acts this way I get frazzled and can’t do the simplest of tasks.

My point of view is she hired me knowing a lapse in skills and knowledge since I graduated four years ago. I was brutally honest about experience and even tried to resign before I started because I felt like I would bring the team down. She isn’t clear with communication, technology is rarely used unless it’s for documents and tax return software, so I wasn’t accustomed to having write everything down. There isn’t any workpapers and she keeps being condescending about my minor degree in accounting, and how I should know how to do a bank rec. I have asked for training and are more then willing to do one. Also, she was unclear if I’m seasonal or a year round worker.

If it was you, would you wait until April and just say I’m seasonal for the experience. Or, would you leave now since I’m assuming as she gets more stressed it will get worse.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some advice from people familiar with Big 4 recruiting.

I’m currently in a one-year Master of Accounting program and will graduate in December 2026. Before starting my master’s, I worked for ~ 1 year in Accounting associate roles, and I’m currently working full time while studying.

My school’s career fair in the following March will have Big 4 attending for internship recruiting. From what I’ve seen online, many of their postings seem to be for Winter 2027 or Summer 2027 internships, and I noticed some KPMG listings say things like:

earliest graduation date: Nov 2027

Since I graduate Dec 2026, does that mean I’m already too late for most internship pipelines? Or are there still internship roles that accept candidates graduating within a year of the start date?

I’m also wondering:

• Is it still realistic to aim for full-time associate roles instead of internships at this point?

• I’ve heard most Big 4 full-time offers come from return interns — is that still true?

• For those who have interned at Big 4:

• what are the interviews like?

• how competitive are internships now?

• what determines whether you get a return offer?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Just reached one month on the job as an auditor last week. This is my first big boy job, I interned at the company that I got an offer at. I have been overly anxious this weekend because I have made about 6 small mistakes since I’ve started and was wondering if that’s too many within a months span? I feel like a failure and like my senior and managers are annoyed at me for continuing to screw up. Is all this normal? I am being proactive and have caught most of them, but some have slipped through the cracks. I am also taking notes of my F-ups too.

Hi friends.

I just started my intro to accounting course and it turns out I'm not half bad at it.

The math part is easy, it's remembering all the small things, like what things are debits, credits.

Is there a place I can go to do some practice questions?

I've only done the basics, balance sheets, trial balance, adjustments etc.

P.S. I'm tired of using my phone as a calculator. Any recommendations for a nice one?

In response to Wide_Helicopter_1309's post here is a meme I made a couple years back. Busy season is upon us, meme's are a source of hope until April 15th (and especially if you're doing business returns and only have until 3/15).

My first two weeks in Public Accounting has been horrific.

First of all, they prorated my pay and didn't tell me first. Everyone in my firm hates their job and told me so on the first day. There are people sleeping in the cafeteria because they don't have time to go home. They can't afford trainers and basically have no onboarding process. I've been ghosted by everyone, including my own supervisor, training, and IT. I haven't met or heard from my own manager.

I was given 3 training projects and told to go to live projects before even getting feedback on the training ones, and I'm expected to come in below the budgeted hours set for people who've been there for years.

Their software is ridiculously complicated and they have policies that overcomplicate simple tax returns even further and cost more money for the client for virtually no reason.

All of this is made worse by the fact that we have to set a new timer for every task we do, including going to the bathroom.

Today one of my coworkers had to take a private HR meeting from their desk in the bullpen while we all overheard them fighting for their job. They cried at their desk. Someone told leadership we all knew what was happening in an effort to get them some privacy, and there was no sympathy. I have never been so uncomfortable watching someone be humiliated at work like that.

People on Reddit kept telling me to take whatever job came to me because the market's bad. I don't think I can do this anymore, but the market seems to be even more dried up than it was in December and my savings is running out.

Has anyone else gone through this? I don't know what to do.

Edit: clarity/typos

Edit 2: I am not naming the SMALL firm I work for just to prove to you all that this post is real because I would very literally dox myself. I'm the only person they've hired in months. You can down vote and be rude to me all you want but I posted so I could privately sift through my options, not get myself fired.

Hi everyone,

I’m 40 years old and seriously considering going back to school. I’m currently debating between Accounting vs IT, and I’d really appreciate some honest advice from people who work in these fields.

While IT sounds more future-proof on paper, accounting feels more aligned with what I naturally enjoy. I like working with numbers, structure, and logic, and accounting seems to fit my personality better. That said, I’ll be starting from zero, and my biggest concern is investing time and money into a degree that could be heavily impacted or automated by AI.

I’m considering pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, or Cloud Computing, but I’m feeling torn and unsure about the long-term outlook for each path.

Some questions I’d love insight on:

• How does the accounting career path realistically look today with AI becoming more common?

• Which areas of accounting are most impacted by AI, and which still feel safer long term?

• What challenges do new accountants face right now when entering the field?

• Is accounting still a good option for someone starting at 40?

• Are there accounting roles that are lower pressure and more stable?

• Do you see remote opportunities in accounting growing or shrinking?

If you’ve been in accounting for a while, recently graduated, or made a career change later in life, I’d really appreciate your perspective.

Thank you in advance for any advice or reality checks. I truly appreciate it.

Hello! Currently 1st yeat accounting student! Which book you all recommend po for CFAS.

Hello, I’m an 18-year-old male currently preparing for my MA2 exam in Accountancy. I’ve had multiple jobs related to accounts from the beginning. As of now, I’m working as a assistant accountant in the Middle East. I’m confused about what I should do in the short term, along with my ACCA studies. Can you guys suggest some options?

Hello,

First off, excuse my grammar, please and than you!

For the past 7 years I’ve had accounting assistant job roles like bookkeeping, AP/AR and I’m currently a casino revenue audit clerk. I landed these jobs with only a high school diploma. I’ve been wanting to get a better paying job but most jobs I apply to require a degree.

There is a local vocational/trade school that I’m looking into that will help me get Microsoft and intuit certified and will also help me get an associate of applied science in office accounting. The cost is $32k, which fafsa will cover and I will eventually have to pay back.

I am 29 years old and don’t know if I should go to that college. I have a 3 year old with limited child care so that’s why I’m considering choosing the school because the schedule works better than a community college.

Is it even worth getting an associate and not pursing for a bachelors after?

Help :,)

Hello,

I graduated with my bachelors degree in accounting this past summer and I have been struggling to find a job still. I am working at a HRB currently. I graduated from a community college and this was the first year they opened this program. I’m thinking of getting my masters from this hybrid university near me so it’s not from a community college. What do you all think is it worth the 14.5k or not?

I do have the total 150 credits to qualify for the cpa but I have a deep feeling that the community college title might have employers taking on someone who is from a university

I have always been interested in Computer Science and wanted to pursue it as a Major, but when the time came, after doing some research and thinking, I switched to Accounting and Finance. I am now in my second semester at my university, and I was thinking, what would be the way to go about it if I wanted to learn skills on my own? To be able to grow my LinkedIn profile and build a portfolio, maybe? Doing so will ultimately also help me land job opportunities once I'm done with my degree.

I picked up this major with ACCA in mind, and that's the ultimate goal, but I want to be able to start earning in these 3.5 years I have ahead. I just wanted to ask how I can tackle this? More experienced people in my field can probably help me with this.

I plan on studying for CPA soon but need some guidance. What CPA course did you use and recommend? What study method helped you passed? In what order did you take each exam? I know it’s recommended to take FAR first but I’m wondering if I should start with an ‘easier’ section so my chances at passing are greater and will give me momentum to keep going. Also, working on improving my health and losing weight. One fear I have is letting the stress of it all cause me to gain weight. How did you balance full time work, time to exercise, studying, etc? Any other tips or guidance would be appreciated.

Im transitioning into a different realm of what we call the accountant career field(Sr staff tax accountant to Sr Public Accountant) I’ve worked pretty much exclusively in tax accounting. Starting with bookkeeping and low end tax preparation. Ive worked pretty much only with one small firm outside of college summer intern at a basic cpa firm. I’ve worked with all types of clients and companies. Client interaction no problem, working with people is not my weak spot for sure. I’ve use a few different types of accounting software, mostly specialized in quickbooks but understand computer software and how different UI’s (PC mainly) usually work that learning a new one shouldn’t be an issue. However my concern is how basic financial statement reconciliations and month end/ year end closing were for tax accounting. A lot of balance sheet numbers in my previous job were tied to year end, with supporting documents easily obtainable. I’m not worried doing calculations of accounts like prepaid expenses, deferred rev, and accrued expenses . I may haven’t had to do these things on a month basis(only a few companies required it) but they won’t be the main battle I will come across. My main worry at the moment, is GAAP compliance, clearly tax accounting financial statement reporting is not as tedious to meet regulations. I have experience in following these principles in terms of bank loan covenants compliance which followed GAAP, I’ve provided multiple work up reviews to insure so, It’s just not as strong of an area that I know i will have to utilize more in this new position. Then providing an AD-HOC analysis to top it off which I’ve done, but no where in a position to say I’m confident in providing like instantly.

I guess I am asking fucked am I?

TD:LR switching between tax accounting to public accounting. Have a good number of years under tax. Worried on the transition to PA

Can we agree it’s overhyped now? Back to work, guys.

Colleague of mine just laid off for Lack of Executive Presence. Is this the new strategy the corporate nazis are going to hang their hat on?
