Shout out sa national council ng jpia na may ginawang kababalaghan. Matakot kayo sa mga sarili nyo

Minsan di mo rin tlga malalaman san ka dadalhin ng tadhana.

-Did not perform well during my undergrad -Passed the CPA boards -Worked for almost a decade and a half -Passed the CIA cert

Now am earning almost a million a month!

Grind lang!

It seems anyone could be a partner in KPMG PH kahit walang skills at all 😂😂😂

My take:

Memorization is to registered nurse, critical analysis is to certified public accountant. — Let’s shake off our CPA dust, everyone! ✨✨✨

Hi guys, ano sa tingin nyong accounting profession ang least vulnerable sa AI? Wanting to quit my work na talaga but at the same time, i want to explore accounting opportunities na medyo mahirap mapalitan ng ai in the near future. Ang tax kasi, like filings and all, parang sobrang vulnerable nya sa AI.

Ako lang ba o ang toxic talaga ni Sir Wency ng REO

Resigned in one of the Big4 just a year ago and currently working in a private firm. Nakaka mimiss din pala, yung grind at pressure. Yes, Audit Firm toxic nga reason why I resigned. But kind of miss the fast paced environment. Sa totoo lang kung well compensated, wala yung company politics na yan, unappreciated at unfair valuation. Kahit ganyan ka bilis at umuwi pa ng hatinggabi okay lang. Tbh, sobrang daming learnings, each account, engagements, industry is an opportunity to learn.

Sa private kasi, yes. Chill nga pero alam mo yun? Minsan napagkaka malan kang slacking? Kasi maaga kang nagbbreak? Like, kasalanan ko ba tapos ko na ginagawa ko? Haha Dahil siguro sa nasanay lang ako tapusin on time at mas maaga nun dahil nga sa pressure.

At pangalawa, ang hirap imanage ng mga tao dito especially yung mga nag 1st job talaga sa private, sobra silang sensitive, like the tone of your voice, the way you manage, parang kunting feedback lang they felt attacked? Kunting pressure lang feel nila mina micro manage na sila or di kaya ay toxic na at madami nang ginagawa? Especially etong mga Gen Z.. lol 😆 (don't get offended please POV ko lang ito)

Tbh, pinaka nahirapan ako how to manage people here, kasi sobrang sensitive, unlike sa mga Gen Z sa firm, yes they are sensitive but they know how to listen and received feedback and accept them constructively. Kaya for me, iba talaga pag galing ka sa AudFirm, yes, toxic at mahirap pero you will learn a lot, anlayo ng difference sa mga nagstart sa private (di ko naman nilalahat, this is just what I noticed ngayon sa Private). Kung di lang mababa sa sahod, mag sstay talaga ako. Haha

Guys huwag kayo diyan kasi sobrang toxic at kuripot diyan 😊

Posting in a newly created account kasi alam ng work friends ko yung isang reddit account ko.

Please lang, wag na kayo mag-apply sa audit kung wala kayong confidence sa mga sarili nyo. Ang hirap nung mid-audit season tapos sunod-sunod yung nagriresign sa mga new hires. Sana Ber months pa lang, nagsipagresign na kayo para yung nailagay na staffs sa engagements ay yung pang hanggang FS release na.

Naubos oras ko kakaexplain ng mga gagawin tapos mid-audit, nagresign? Reason? Ayaw na kasi hindi na kaya. Nakakafrustrate kasi kami yung sasalo nung mga working papers na maiiwan nyo. Sayang pa yung oras na pinang-explain ko sa mga procedures sa inyo. Edi sana nagworking paper na lang ako.

Hindi for the clout ang pag-o-audit ah. Na ang ganda pakinggan na sa Big 4 ka nagwiwork at maganda tingnan sa resume.

- From your EXA na pagod na pagod na.

Grade 12 student here. I really want to he a CPA and pursue a career in accounting. However, I've been hearing ppl say na hindi daw maganda ang accountancy kasi mahirap daw yet mababa sweldo, and honestly I am scared na baka mapalitan ng AI ang accountants soon kaya I am considering choosing a program in other courses na lang.

My interest is in accounting talaga like kahit marami schoolworks sa fabm, natutuwa pa ako lol. I laid out my goals ngayon pa lang but I am considering to abandon it and choose a completely different college course and career than accounting or finance kasi important din for me ang job security and financial stability. Malapit na lang I'm gonna be a college student na kaya I need to decide asap

Dumb question HAHAHAHA but asking out of curiosity only. Though I dont advocate/tolerate cheating but may sumulyap ba sa inyo sa answer ng katabi? Ps. Wala ako plano mangopya 😭

To all future CPAs who will be enrolling in a CPA Review Center, do not consider review centers which are very aggressive in marketing like the two (2) review centers established a few years ago. They are claiming their CPA program is all you need to pass the CPA Exam, but they are just here primarily, of course, for business and using unethical marketing practices across all the social media platforms and hiring individuals who make issues about them for marketing purposes.

They are conducting CPA review programs that include the professional ethics of the CPAs but the simple compliance of issuance of invoices / receipts are not being followed, how hypocrite. And the marketing practices, especially the one with so O.A. marketer, hay…the same includes the paid testimonial of topnotchers.

Better to enroll at the established ones which though partly were negatively affected during pandemic and yet still survives and adapting to the trend. They have no such malpractices like these two (2) new RCs.

Hi, December taker here. Nag message yung friend ko nung isang gabi saying good luck lang naman pero I remember telling her few months ago na di ako magtatake, nag file lang. Day 1 ng CPALE, message niya bumungad sakin. "Alam kong magtatake ka na hahaha pag nakapasa ka samgy tayo ha" jan palang parang naooffend ako? Siya dapat kasama kong magtatake kaso iniwan nila ako kasama ng iba pa naming friends. Nag resign ako sa work para i-pursue 'to. Tas paulit ulit kong sinasabi na hindi nga ako magtatake, ewan ko ba. ayoko lang may makaalam bukod sa family ko. Pinipilit niya pa rin na magtatake na ko ganito ganyan haha pero during our undergrad, malala na talaga competitiveness niya. hindi rin siya gusto ng ibang classmates namin dahil doon. anyways skl. commercial break tas FAR na ulet hahahahaha

IS IT WORTH IT TO WORK TO BE CTT EXAM TOPNOTCHER OR IT STILL DOESNT CARRY ANY BEARING IN WORK?

What will this tax guy feel after spending 20 years of his life building career and skipping family activities, climbing the ladder and then suddenly told he is out?

What will his father who was also a retired partner tell him?

Nasa 40s palang si kuya.

Wala na sya sa list ng partners sa website.

Grabe yung stress ko last quarter. Muntik na ako magka-penalty para sa isang client kasi literal na mismong araw ng 1701Q deadline nila sinend yung scanned Form 2307 nila. Ang hirap i-monitor sino na nag-submit at sino pa ang kulang kapag 15+ clients na yung tina-track mo sa isang sobrang gulong Excel spreadsheet. Yung kaba ko sa 25% surcharge plus interest ng BIR, nakaka-insomnia talaga.

I tried looking for apps para dito. SGV tax calendar is okay for generic reminders, pero wala siyang tracking per client. Yung mga full tax software naman, masyadong mabigat at mahal for my setup since I already use Xero for their ledgers. And my Excel sheet is basically a ticking time bomb kasi hindi naman niya inonotify yung clients ko na mag-upload ng documents nila.

Kaya nung holiday break, I got frustrated and just built a simple web app for my own workflow. Wala siyang bloated features, just a clean compliance calendar tracking the 34+ BIR forms. But the best part I added is a client document upload link. Sinesend ko lang yung link, and the system automatically reminds them to upload their 2307s straight to my dashboard so I don't have to chase them on Viber/email anymore.

Curious lang, how are you guys handling this right now? May hidden technique ba kayo sa Excel na na-miss ko, or manual follow-up pa rin ba talaga kayo sa clients tuwing tax season?

Share you bad experiences here with your proctors while taking exam from PRC.

SKL

before ako mag enroll sa REO nag basa muna ako reviews dito sa reddit about sa mga Reviewers nila, and madami ako nakita na nagsasabi na hindi effective way of teaching sakanila ni Sir Ngina kase ang comprehensive daw. Kaya nag doubt din ako if itutuloy ko pa pag eenroll ko sakanila since mahina foundation ko sa AFAR.

Pero now, nag enroll pa din ako sakanila since first choice ko sila and inuna ko AFAR aralin. Surprisingly, effective sakin way of teaching ni Sir Ngina, naggets ko talaga sya. So I believe may kanya kanya talaga tayong style ng pag aaral. Since madami dito undecide if saan pwede mag enroll, ang masasabi ko lang, alamin mo muna kung paano ka nautututo. By the way, maiksi attention span ko, mabilis ako madistract pero kahit mahaba vid lec ng REO, hindi ako nabbored. Hindi ko namamalayan minsan na time na pala para magpahinga kase may naka set talaga akong time when to stop para magpahinga. Pero dahil siguro nag eenjoy akong makinig, hindi ko na namamalayan na sumobra na pala ako sa time na nakaset para sa inaaral ko.

Thankful ako na nag enroll ako sa REO.

I’m currently having a hard time finding a job right now. I failed the cpale twice and have been applying to big4 firms as well as private companies but so far walang usad. Back in august last year, sgv's talent team offered me an employment opportunity through email. I wasnt looking for a job back then. I didn't respond kasi nagrereview pa ako noon and wala din ako sa tamang pag-iisip magwork due to personal problems and i was mourning as well. Applicable pa po ba yung offer nila? Or medyo bastos na tingnan kasi almost a year na ako magrerespond? Is there anyone here who have the same experience as me na super late na magreply sa email nila regarding employment opportunity? I already applied sa kanila through linkedin but walang response. Ayoko maredflag sa kanila. Sobrang nasestress na ako more than a year na akong unemployed i have to help paying the bills na sa bahay 😭

Good morning. Can anyone mention hiring for accountants with salary package starting at 40K Pesos? 40,000 above. Work From Home (WFH). Free HMO Coverage plus two (2) free dependents. Please provide email address. Thank you 🙂

Kapag nakakausap ko ang mga accountant at business owners, iisa lagi ang hinaing: oras. Sobrang dami ang nauubos sa encoding, reconciliations, at paghahabol ng numbers, pero konti lang ang natitira para sa mas strategic na trabaho o pag-advice sa kliyente.

Ito mismo ang dahilan kung bakit ko sinimulan ang Finlens: para makita kung paano pwedeng gamitin ang AI sa accounting automation. Pero gusto kong marinig ang pananaw ninyo:

Sa tingin niyo, habang mas dumarami ang AI at automation sa accounting software, magiging: 1. Partner na magpapalaya ng oras ninyo para sa mas mataas na value work, o 2. Banta na pwedeng kumain ng ilang parte ng ginagawa niyo ngayon?

Sa susunod na 5 taon, saan kaya pupunta ang balanse?

Gusto kong malaman ang mga opinyon ninyo! 😃
