fuseshock posted:I need some advice. I can't even count the number of times I had qualified associates replaced by interns or tax rotators. You just have to roll with the punches. Put some pressure on your associates, if you still have any, to get them to use the interns to help them with their own work. Aside from that, coaching is key - there have to be some tasks you can set aside some time up front with them to coach them to do and let them have at it. Data entry, vouching, ticking and tying, proofing FS or other documents, rolling forward workpapers, organizing confirmations and binders, etc. Unfortunately in this situation you have to invest some time of your own to set them up with something, but eventually you can hit a stride where 30 minutes of coaching can keep them busy for a couple of hours.

Bloody Queef posted:Worthless as in both most mind-numbing job in the world AND the feeling of what you're doing literally has no worth. None of my audit friends have found any material differences in the financial statements of the companies we audit. I have, however, found several in tax provision review. I do agree with your first sentence wholeheartedly, but I will say in my five years in public I found plenty of material misstatements. That being said, those discoveries didn't make me feel like I accomplished anything special (if anything, I felt like I created more work for everyone involved, or was unjustly annoyed if my staff found a misstatement) and I ended up leaving public anyway to pursue a career in law enforcement. A year later, I am still convinced I made the right decision.
