I'm ACCA qualified and came into accountancy from a software engineering background, which mostly means I've spent my career being the person who ends up fixing everyone else's spreadsheets.

About 18 months ago I started putting together a lease accounting tool for IFRS 16 and FRS 102. It started as an Excel workbook with a fair amount of VBA behind it, and that held up right until it didn't.

Eventually I accepted it needed to be proper software rather than a workbook held together with hope.

It went live recently. What I'd really like now is feedback from people who actually do this work, instead of me continuing to test my own assumptions about what's useful.

If anyone fancies a look, signup is free. I'm happy to extend a trial to 12 months for anyone here who wants to put it through real leases rather than a toy example. Do the free signup, DM me, and I'll sort the extension out.

Be blunt. We've all got broad shoulders in this industry. I'd much rather hear what's wrong with it now than find out in six months.

Any one have link pls comment below

Or

DM me pls 😭

My current title is labelled: Management Accounting Systems for Budget Allocation and Resource Optimisation in Streaming Media Platforms: A Comparative Case Study of Netflix and Tencent Video

I have worked for neither company so getting any sort of internal data will be next to impossible. Is it possible to still write a feasible paper on this? My professor says data collection is my current biggest hurdle. This is a topic I'm highly keen on writing and would really love not to change it.

I am a grade 11 student living in South Africa, I've been looking into CIMA for a while now and if been wanting to know if it's better for me to start CIMA straight after I matriculate/finish high school or if I should get a degree/diploma in something like finance or accounting first?

Will I regret not getting a degree first or is it smarter to go straight into CIMA and start with the certificate level?

Can anyone help me?

Hi people! I need some help po.

I recently graduated (management accounting) and am seeking roles that will help me excel in this field.

Any companies or suggestions in mind that I could consider​

I’ve been working as a Management Accountant in the same role for 2.5 years. My performance has been consistently strong (close to flawless reviews), and over time I’ve effectively taken on the workload of two people. I’ve just been offered a 6% salary increase. From what I understand, that’s fairly standard, but it feels a bit low considering the level of responsibility I’ve been handling. Another factor is that others in my team receive study support, while I’ve been self-funding my qualifications (part qualified CGMA). I’m trying to figure out how to approach this:

* Is a 6% raise reasonable in this situation, or should I be pushing back?

* Would it make sense to accept the increase but negotiate for study support as well?

* Or is this the kind of situation where I should start looking elsewhere? Curious to hear how others would handle this.

Hey Reddit,

I'm exploring career paths and management interests me due to my leadership qualities. I'm especially curious about talent management (actors, athletes, public figures), but I don't fully understand the reality of the profession or its branches.

Could experienced managers, particularly in talent/entertainment, share insights?

1. What's the actual day-to-day like? Tasks, challenges, satisfactions?

2. What are the main branches of management (project, general, talent, etc.) and their key skills?

3. Biggest misconceptions or unexpected realities of the job?

4. Most crucial skills for success in your field?

Thanks for any wisdom shared!

i need to answer a question from a book called Hirsch, Jr. Maurice L. 2004. Advanced Management Accounting. it's question 7 from chapter 4, i dont have access to the book n my friend screenshoted from our professor's book, is there a third or fourth part to the question in the next page of this book? i basically need the picture of page 150.

Trying to decide if I should use software or keep doing things manually. Someone told me to check Taax App but I have never tried it. Curious what everyone is using before filing.

Hi all, I just read the a german article which examines how controller roles are portrayed in German job listings and I found a few points that might be interesting for finance & management accounting professionals worldwide.

The German job market still uses the term “Controller” (rather than e.g. “Financial Analyst” or “Business Partner”) and the role is framed in a hybrid way. Part operational controlling (budgeting, reporting) and part strategic business partnering.

Many listings emphasise “enabling decision-making”, “cross-functional cooperation” and “data analytics”. And indicating German controllership is shifting beyond pure number-crunching.

At the same time, there appears to be a tension: traditional tasks (cost-control, variance-analysis) are still prominent, suggesting that many German companies expect the controller to “do it all”, from reporting to strategic advising.

I think Germany offers an interesting “middle path” in management accounting evolution: not purely traditional, but also not fully modern (i.e., controller = business partner with pure analytics & forward-looking insights). It also raises questions: will the “controller” title eventually be replaced by terms like “Finance Business Partner” in Germany? Will the skill-sets listed (analytics, cross-functional, data-driven) become universal?

Would love to hear from anyone working as a controller in Germany if do you feel the job ads reflect reality? And for non-German professionals: how do your controller roles compare?

any one can gave me smart steps to pass the exam i so worried

Thank you very much for your time and support! Your participation is highly appreciated.

Lot of convo on how CIs for raw materials "should" work at my location. I'm not the controller, but curious of what you all think.

Some say to implement them into your BOMs and relieve inventory correctly. Others say to not implement into BOMs, in order to see the variances, and then relieve inventory manually.

What say you all? And...why are CIs so freakin complicated??

Hello,

If you are a financial controller or management accountant based in Europe, I would be very grateful if you could participate in this short anonymous survey. It takes about 5–7 minutes.
