I'm going to install Drake and put new, simple clients on it. It only takes 4 paying clients to make the cost worth it versus Proconnect, and it comes with 10 filings included. I'll keep the old/complex clients on Proconnect for now to minimize the pain of learning new software while getting a feel for if Drake is for me.

knox posted:As a real estate accountant not a tax accountant I still pay someone else to do my taxes, just got call from new tax people I'm using because my brother did. I'm getting no refund besides like $60 for 2022, and somehow I owe money for 2021. In the past guy I used got me $3k+ on a return, and before that got nice returns of thousands of dollars. I'm not making over $89k to enter a new tax bracket or anything ($85k at the moment) so I can't really think why I wouldn't get any refund at all. His bullshit explanation for 2021 was I worked two different jobs (I left a position and took the higher paying one I am still at now) and something about the withholding. I don't get a chance to say my honest opinion of this kind of thinking in real life, so thanks to SA I get to tell you that you have a baby's brain.

It sounds like you don't even know how much your taxes were, because you just talk about how much the refund is; the jangling keys of the adult world. There's a chance he's being rude to you because he wants you to go away. It's very common in the tax prep industry, and it works.

Democratic Pirate posted:I got burned on this for BEC when Gearty or whoever recommended to read through the more niche economic concepts, but focus intense study time elsewhere because they’re historically a small percentage of the MC questions. A majority of my second MC module was economic math questions. The questions ramp up in difficulty if you are doing well, but the score weights this. It's a good sign if you start getting difficult/obscure questions. I knew FAR was going well when pension accounting questions started showing up.

I don't understand the point of "discipline" or "coaching" like it's a middle school. Either this person has potential to be a valuable part of the team and you train them up where they're deficient, or I guess it's just a step toward letting them go. As if accounting grads grow on trees these days. A person mentioned earlier that they got fired from an internship. That is insane; interns are supposed to be learning, any productivity they create is incidental. What the gently caress is wrong with the industry these days?

Yeah, sounds like incompetent management to me.

Man, I'm so glad I get to do the kind of accounting where I help small and medium business owners stay compliant and plan for the future. It's often tedious but you actually get some appreciation and satisfaction from what you do.

Audits are mainly done by 22 year olds who have never booked an actual live transaction in their life.

It's funny because auditing is totally broken, and the only solution on the horizon (AI) would only make it super duper worse.
