I would have to say that was very far from the truth. I would say any of the following would be what accounts say: "Is it material?" "What did we do last year?" "Did you check last year?" "Just make it work!" "Just put the difference to Misc Expense!"
Had this forwarded to me in the audit room, week 1 of busy season. Had to stop at 1:05 because I was laughing too hard. Huge thank you and props from Portland!
None of it was untrue, but I think there were all of two things said that were in any way specific to accountants. This seemed more like "things people in an office say" lol
Shit Public Accountants Say: 1. This client doesn't give me fucking anything I ask for 2. Last years workpapers are shit, how can i follow this 3. I caught a cold sleeping in the office last night. 4. This budget is bullshit, im going to have to stay back all night while my manager adds non-sensical review points 5. My manager eats the whole fucking budget doing nothing while i do the work. 6. I actually got a degree for this shit? 7. I get paid less than a macdonalds worker per hour.
"Do you have a second? Can I ask you a quick question?" = The first three years of your accounting career!
"Why doesn't it balance????????"

You forgot, "Why doesn't it balance!?"
So many great quotes in there.
My manager said "This is a great growth opportunity" to me.
I replied "ha ha I use that line too."
Oh yeah...."Can you check in the binder please?"
I transitioned to IT audit now after getting my CPA and now working on CISA. BEST decision I ever made. Work is so much better and more interesting.

10 years later, still so true 🥲
I'm interning at this office over the summer, I'm now making it my personal goal to meet the genius behind this video.
There's always the "The numbers are changing again"
hey Huang, where do u work at?
"Where the booze at?"
What is the song at the start?
I have to say I enjoyed this video a lot!! love it!!
just wanted to say, i work at another of the big 4 in Canada and its just amazing how exactly the same it is everywhere. Sad.
I was pleased to see these Accountants are talking and not just living with numbers. How would Accountants react to Bitcoin?
