No, I do not fart at my desk. Also I have never heard anyone fart in the office before. I have heard people fart in the urinal while I am on the toilet but that is a rare occurrence.

No. >_>

If it's not in my department, they don't tell me jack shit about it. I have an idea what the other departments do but I never know the full story.

Keep applying. There is a shortage of accountants because people are retiring and no one wants to really wants to go into accounting. Also if you get a message from someone in LinkedIn about an accounting position- listen to that person to see what they have to say. I got my current job through a Linkedin recruiter that I was not expecting. I still get messages from Linkedin recruiters from time to time even though I am currently fine with my job. At one point in time, I might have brushed off a Linkedin recruiter but I am so glad that I listened to one because it really helped me out with my cushy position.

At this job, there is always work. It is not hard work, it is just easy work but work that requires time. It is sometimes repetitive but it isn't work that isn't going to totally consume my time. I work 40 hours max but I am always working 40 hours. Thankfully I don't have an accounting job where I have to work 60 to 80 hour weeks.

Honestly I don't have to deal with that. Maybe upper management has to deal with that but I am basically an AP manager. We have a lot of work and we are always hiring people, so my company tries to comply the best they can.

Nice. I dodged 842 by leaving my company right before they were going to implement to go work for a public company that already had implemented it. I'm glad because it sounded terrible to do.

Honestly even though there is a lot of work, there isn't that much stress. You work 40 hours and that is it. It's a 9 to 5 job and around 5:30, everyone is gone. I know some accounting jobs have long hours but this one is not one of them. Everyone is pretty understanding and no one is dicks.

No, my bosses are pretty nice. So that thought has not crossed my mind.

Whats the biggest fuck up/fuss thats happened at your company?

I don't know if there is a big fuck up at my company. My company has hedge fund money behind it. So it's pretty much if there are mistakes, it's like we can fix them eventually but currently in my department, there are no mistakes where people are screaming at you. I think overall there is a lot of work and we are a bit understaffed, so people are understanding of what is going on. It isn't like people are slacking because we are always working

Depends on the company. It will matter at a CPA firm to get promoted but once you get outside of cpa forms, it depends on the company. At my company it doesnt matter that. My boss who is the controller of my department is not a CPA and he probably makes a lot more than I do. One of the managers is not a CPA. There is also a lot of finance positions at my company, so my company is not accounting only. If I went out and got a CPA tomorrow, it wouldnt automatically mean I would get some promotion at the company Im currently at. It just depends on the company.

I answered this in post 11 but currently 75k with a 7 k bonus

some sort of accounting background I believe. I only have a masters of accounting because I got my BA in English. Since we have finance positions, you dont need to be an accountant to be hired. But I do think a BA in accounting or finance would be helpfu

I drink a little bit but Im no drunk. Drinks arent even a daily weekend thing for me anymore but I am not against getting a drink every so often. I use excel but I dont use that often or in a really complex matter. I can do a pivot table.

no not really. My coworkers are nice and there are no dicks and on occasion I will go out with them for drinks but I dont feel like I know any of them really. Everyone is so busy. Oftentimes we dont socialize that much. The problem is you dont really speak to people outside of your department. For a long time my department was only me and my boss and my boss always leaves early because he has an infant that he has to take home from daycare after work.

hell until about tomorrow my department was scattered through the office. My office just acquired a location next to our office. So they are going to move people there and my department will all be moved together and be in one spot for the first time in my near one year of working at my company
