  • Buckle Up! Less than half of public accounting staff hold CPA licenses July 15, 2025
    Less than half of public accounting staff hold CPA licenses Buckle up. The downstream effects will be less available CPA's for businesses to hire for the next 10 years. For those with their license, this means fees will rise over that time period. https://www.cfo.com/news/less-than-half-of-public-accounting-staff-hold-cpa-licenses-levi-strauss-cfo-harmit-singh-/752793/ submitted by /u/TheOlneyCPA [link] [comments]

  • How do you do it? July 15, 2025

  • How Bad is the Market for Newbie Accountants Now and in 6 Months to a Year? July 15, 2025
    I keep reading how bad the market is for accountants and tech. Overall, the job market is grim. That being said, with the advent of AI and offshoring, what do you see for present or future of accounting? I know no one can tell the future, but for those of you in the field, whether […]

    Everyone is talking about the rise of PE activity in professional services but nobody seems to be talking about partners who are so keen to sell out that they're not fully reading their new contracts and locking themselves into crazy non-competes / restrictive covenants. I'm coming across various partners from PE firms looking to move […]

    So I recently got a job doing AR. My first day, they told me that Accounts Receivable is the life blood of the business and you need to call up the client and ask for your money but professionally. However people don't say 'OK sure let me just get out my cheque book'. Instead, they […]

    I should have quit ages ago, as soon as our controller quit bc they picked an external hire for CFO over him. This is in an already understaffed finance department.

  • Is it normal for a lot of middle - aged female bookkeepers/admin to be quite mean? July 14, 2025
    Working with them feels like I’m constantly on eggshells. If I make one mistake, they won’t call me stupid, but they’ll make sure I feel it. A heavy sigh, a “how did you not know that” tone, and the overall vibe that they’re just waiting for me to mess up. I’m usually confident around people […]
