Updated Accounting Recruiting Guide & /r/Accounting Posting Guidelines
Hello Everyone! With our subreddit experiencing a substantial growth in both user engagement and membership—almost tripling since I introduced the recruiting guide nearly two years ago—I believe it’s essential to enhance the guide and establish some community posting guidelines as we continue to expand. We’re currently seeing an average of over 100,000 unique users and nearly 800,000 page views each month.
The revamped Accounting recruiting guide now features more than double the amount of content compared to the original. It includes additional tips and a comprehensive overview on how to prepare for interviews and navigate the recruitment process effectively.

Additionally, please take a moment to review the following guidelines, which will enhance the quality of posts and the responses you receive when seeking advice or assistance:
/r/Accounting Posting Guidelines:
- Utilize the search function and explore the resources in the sidebar before posting a question. It’s likely that your question, or a similar one, has already been addressed, which can help you refine your inquiry.
- Read the /r/accounting Wiki/FAQ, and if you’re interested in contributing additional content for the wiki, please reach out to the Mods.
- Don’t forget to add “flair” to your post after submitting it. This helps the community identify the type of content you’re sharing.
- When asking for career advice, include sufficient background information. This should cover your region, year in school, expected graduation date, plans for reaching 150 hours, and your goals.
- When seeking homework help, share your attempted work first and specify your areas of difficulty. We’re here to assist you in understanding the material, not to provide free answers.
- Feel free to share current event articles to encourage engaging discussions and debates within the community.
- If you’re sharing personal experiences in your advice, keep in mind that experiences can vary widely based on region, school, and firm. While your insights are valuable, remember that not all experiences are universally applicable; take recommendations here with a grain of salt.
- Please do not delete posts, especially those made under a throwaway account. Deleting posts removes valuable reference material for the community. By asking questions here, you contribute to the shared knowledge that benefits future users.

Thank you for the update and for all the effort you’ve put into expanding the recruiting guide! It’s great to see the subreddit grow and evolve with such a vibrant community. The additional tips and detailed analysis will surely be beneficial for both new and seasoned members navigating the Accounting field.
The posting guidelines are also a fantastic way to ensure that everyone is on the same page and can make the most out of the community. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on providing context when asking for career advice or homework help—it’s so important to have that background to receive meaningful responses.
Looking forward to seeing how these changes improve our discussions and support one another in our Accounting journeys. Thanks again for your hard work and dedication!
