My tax prep boss was interested in offering me a full time financial position. What could I do to maximize my chances of turning my current occupation to that full time non profit accounting?

So far in my experiences of doing taxes from intake, to filing, to quality review is I need to improve my vetting skills to make sure I sit down and tell clients how their taxes are working.

My face when they tell me it's a simple return. And then it's a person's entire stock portfolio, mortgage and itemized deductions in every possible category recognized by the American Internal Revenue Service. And they forgot to give any personal information to contact them for anything missing. I really need to make sure to do better to make things easier for myself and associates.

My coworkers and I are planning to get our CTech certs. Is there anything we should be aware of to ensure we pass the courses and my prospects in tax and accounting?

On last weeks of job due to season being nearly over. Hoping I get hired in house. If not I at least get the joy of having both live tax experience for poor people and working accounting for higher up corporations. If I can leverage it right I can even make sure my future CMA and CPA will go well.

Gabriel Grub posted:My season is still just starting because we're on the extended June 15 deadline here, but ProConnect is loving killing me this year. They want $95 per return for about 30 returns, which with the horrible exchange rate these days, is more like $130 from my perspective. It used to be $45. Wow that is absolutely criminal.

Going on the accounting job grind again. Hopefully get lucky. So far been trying to be nice and honest and willing to learn. Just wanna finally have a mentor to show me the ropes and get paid for that. Got a handful of interviews lined up on my last week of work with this nonprofit. Hoping that it all works out. Gods I'd rather be sleeping in or studying for my CMA/CPA but responsibility comes first. Annointed fucked around with this message at 04:11 on May 9, 2023 |

Been hearing from companies that they prefer contract to hire for accounting? Is this true or a lie? I don't want to work contract for a 1099 and end up paying more in taxes alongside no unemployment.

black.lion posted:youve heard companies prefer to hire accountants on a contract basis? or are you asking if its cheaper for a company to hire contractors vs employees? trying to parse your phrasing I have heard from recruiters that companies prefer to hire accountants through contract to hire. Is this true? Honestly I would rather go for a different better position and already have, just wanted to check to make sure.

Thanks for condolences Good Citizen posted:Do you have a LinkedIn and any recruiter contacts? Ideally you let them do the work for you. Yeah both indeed and linkedin and a lot of recruiters. Yeah gaming has helped stave off the crippling depression. PatMarshall posted:You're looking specifically for industry roles, correct? Not considering public? I can only really help with public, but if you're CPA eligible, it's just a numbers game, you will find a job, just keep sending out your resume. Check LinkedIn, decent source for job postings. Looking for work sucks regardless though. I always go half insane, working out helped a little last time around. EDIT: Feeling stupid I keep fumbling these accounting assessment tests these companies keep giving me. Annointed fucked around with this message at 00:31 on May 31, 2023 |

Currently making it through the week. Learning the new invoice software, cash counting and how to do check runs. So far nothing seems entirely outside what I learned in school. Hopefully I can keep training and do good! EDIT: Finished Check Run. Dang am I making far too many typos. Thankfully the controller and accountants were able to tell me out to make revisions to fix things. Annointed fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Sep 22, 2023 |

Second week done. Got paid 800+ dollars for my work. I am feeling really good. I hope to be able to keep doing a good job at AP long enough to get promotions, better pay and eventually be able to live on my own. In California. So far the tips everyone is giving me about doing research to make sure my reports are accurate have helped. Though I admit I am nervous about being in charge of ap of a whole section. That and the pace of my work. I am getting work done and clearing up the backlogs of stuff I get but I'm starting to get more and more disorganized with more things piling up like rebills, ap, check runs, pending invoices and cash counts.
