Yes, based on what I'm seeing on a CPA forum, they're holding back raises, they're asking people to take a pay cut, they're letting go of people. It's just a mess. I'm glad I'm no longer in public accounting, that was hell that I do not want to go back to.

Same here. I spent 10 years in public accounting with the last 6 with KPMG and then PwC. Going back is my last resort if I ever get fired.

KPMG? The one next to Bearing Point in Tysons Corner?

I know a guy. He's charged with fraud but I'm pretty sure he didn't do it.

Just use turbo tax. I'm a CPA but I still use TurboTax. My former tax attorney also used TurboTax. I'm not in tax so I don't know anything about taxes but people start asking me tax questions as soon as I say I'm a CPA.

Speaking of fraud...my parents' accountant who had the same first and last name as me ended up going to prison because of tax fraud. IRS is the scariest mofos out there.

Never had a problem with background checks. I just looked him up on VA CPA lookup and he's been permanently removed from their database. Damn.

I see and raise you. Try living in VA and having the same last name as the VA Tech shooter. FML

I'm a CPA and found it easier to just hire a tax CPA to do mine.

What is your specialty?

I do financial reporting, automation of processes (aka cutting staff), writing reports using sql + excel, working with databases, etc. I guess you can call it IT Accounting or something like that.

NO TAX!
