The 3 Things You Must Learn in Accounting | From a Controller

[@rebeccak-d8561]

Still excellent, value-added content. Have you ever thought about teaching accounting at a local college on the side? You have a way of breaking it down in an easy to understand way.

[@TheFinancialController]

Haha thanks! You are kind. Maybe at some point.

Again, good stuff! Your on spot as always and as I go back into my accounting work again after being in IT for a while, it's been quite helpful to follow your guidance....amazing how much I have lost touch with when not using it often enough! One thought also on the Procure to Pay process, noting that I do understand the time limitations, but thought it worth mentioning that the PO number we need to process invoices is just the ultimate outcome of the Procurement Process that provides Inventory, Supplies or Services for a Company. And as inquisitive accountants, it's good to be aware that the full 'Procurement' process will include other important procedures and often large departments to support that properly issued PO. Those include things like the Vetting or Approval of Vendors, setting of Credit Terms (with input from other departments) and who has authority to do these things. It may also involve decisions about what goods to buy as well as negotiating Contracts and then Receiving those Goods and Services. Thanks again for your informative videos.

[@TheFinancialController]

Agreed, thanks so much for your input

Hi Bill... talking about companies that buy services, many ERP like SAP allow you to make service certifications and manage them as material receipts to make the three-match. So when you receive the service, you generate a certification in the order and when the invoice arrives, it is paired with that certification, as if it were a material receipt. very interesting the videos you are making, I am watching them all.

[@TheFinancialController]

That feature makes sense!

[@johnpaulgreer6832]

I just accepted a Staff Accountant position out of school (A/R Specialist for my last few months of school). My end goal is CFO, but maybe controller. My BS degree is in accounting obviously, but my new job has a tuition reimbursement program and I want to utilize this. How valuable would getting my MBA? More or less valuable than CMA? (I understand CPA is most valuable, but I don’t think it will be something I want to pursue). Could you speak to this? Any advise is appreciated

[@TheFinancialController]

An mba is more valuable and more work. I will try to address in a video

[@RebeccasFinanceTutorials]

It's nice to meet you Bill and thank you for the tips - it's interesting to see this from another individuals point of view within finance :) I would recommend working within each of the business areas - credit control, purchase ledger control and month end management accounting

[@gmensfashionblog3966]

I started my career in AP covering 3rd party and Intercompany, after year and half I moved more into P2P generic role where I was the troubleshooter between AP-Payment and procurement so I had the responsibility to analyze the GRIR(GRNI) accounts , take an action on old POs in order to unblock the invoice for payment, create order and handle the supplier claims. After a year in this role I got opportunity to move into Buyer but after 6 months I quit due to I recognized that was not the career for me. Currently I'm in R2R and I'm enjoying a lot , however do you recommend me in 2 years to move into Revenue or O2C function to gain the experience to become one day controller or is there any way to just get the generic overview of O2C and focus in something else ? Most of managers see the movement from R2R to O2C/AP as a step back.

[@TheFinancialController]

Seems like a step back. Just try to have folks talk you through it enough to get above average knowledge of the nuances

[@wfhockeyplayer10]

What is your opinion on someone doing 3-5 years in big 4 Financial Services audit, then transitioning to some FP&A or corporate finance role, and going to get a T15 MBA around that time too, is that a good path to becoming a role like Director of Finance or CFO coming from a non target school?

[@TheFinancialController]

I like it yes

[@khalidmelebari8000]

Hey I really liked your video it has clarified to me how work going in the out of school. but I’d like to ask you , does Public accounting could give me this skills and experience ?

[@hansredgate1]

Hey! Love the videos, keep up the good work. I have a separate question that I want to ask. As per your big 4 videos, you have always spoken about people from Audit becoming a financial controller. I am in Transaction Services and I am contemplating with Controlling in the long term. Is this switch difficult?

[@TheFinancialController]

It’s not conventional but not unheard of

Hi,I have a question,is the B.B.A degree same as accounting degree,and can I take a CPA from it?

[@johnpaulgreer6832]

I would check you state CPA requirements. If you can’t find it there, your school should have details regarding this. You should be able to TAKE your CPA with your BBA degree, but there will be more credits required AFTER you pass the CPA. Example: I have to have 30 additional accounting credits after my BS in accounting and don’t forget job experience (my state)
