I’m not an accountant or CPA but just ran upon this blog by accident and read enough to know it very much like most other blogs. Not very eduacational for the most part unless you weed out all the BS. But there’s always somthing we can learn from the big picture of a blog and they are entertaining. Just dont form an opinion on the comments of a few. Except for mine if course.

Hi all , well i have been reading those comments and i have to say its really good that i finally found some articles and comments that really expresses how i feel about my job which is ofcourse an accountant , keep it flowing guys its really healthy to talk about what you like & dislike about your job but in the end you just have to admit that we accountants like to do it between spread sheets 😀

I’ve never seen a BS like this – and yes 95% of audit teams don’t know
$|-|it about taxes – that’s why tax guys have a job!! (Thank god for my tax team(s))
I’ve been drinking since the large accelerated filer deadline, but I’m still doing 70’s.
Quality work fur sur. Hopefully the investing public understands they are relying on information reviewed by drunk recent college grads that haven’t slept in 4 weeks, who are managed by narrowly sober managers who, when alert and not dozing in the chair, are relatively effective.

Oh, come on – we all know what Tax and Audit does. Tax files extensions, then panics to get everything by September or October. Audit just sits on their ass and waits for the client to produce a form that shows the number they want to fulfill some “test” that makes all of the financials warm and fuzzy. Let’s not give EITHER side more credit than they deserve.

But everyone does drink though…

You gotta love PwC’s bate & switch change to the ranking system. It’s like changing the rules to the game at half-time. That firm has got to be the most sinister, untrustworthy P.O.S. out there. PwC’s end of busy-season consisted of handing out phony performance related PIPs and laying peeps off.

BTW, busy season has been over for about a month now, and still no party.

Why does this blog suck so bad? Some of the posts had some wit and potential. However, lately they’ve become so lame.

I think there are vague plans for some kind of official after busy season party, but no announcement yet, and I can guarantee it will be very low-key compared to those of the past. It’s funny how many things mentioned on this site have disappeared or been greatly reduced over the last six months or so. Maybe they can change the name of it to “Things Accountants Like, but No Longer Have.” It’ll be an interested historical document of how accounting firms were prior to Depression 2.0. “Grandpa Accountant, tell us about those national trainings you used to go to….”

Guess tax people might be less busy in smaller offices. but we had a ton of people staying till 3 AM, etc. Still, people who have been around awhile say it was much easier than busy seasons past.

Not offended, though…I’m proud to be a tax accountant, the “slacker” of public accounting.
