You went through the interview process, so based on your experience, which one has the better culture? Did one have a better office compared to the other? Does one pay more than the other? Does one offer to pay for your CA whilst the other doesn't?
These are the sort of things you need to be considering. I haven't worked at either firm, but since they are both mid tier and you're in the same service line, they are going to be very similar. Expect to work long hours around year end.
Everything in the industry is team dependent (including hours). Of course firm culture influences your teams, so yes OP is going to be in the best position to decide because it's unlikely anyone has worked at both.
The people you likely interviewed with are going to be leading the kind of teams you will join, setting the culture, etc...
Take the audit role, its the better long term career pathway. All the midtiers are a clusterfuck, all use old tech etc
Audit (medium, small corporates, NFPs, schools and government) > business services (tax compliance and financial statements for SME entities) - with respects to future ops
GT is an absolute cluster fuck of a company to work for. If they haven’t upgraded Voyager, they’re still working in the 80s.. avoid at all costs. Culture is toxic af too.
I haven’t worked at PP, but you can assume the work load high and the hours long. Probably the same as any other mid tier firm.
I’m asking how one does a 9 day fortnight at GT when people are regularly doing 6+ days a week. It’s all marketing bullshit, there’s little chance it actually happens in practice during busy season IMO.
Tbh honest the 9 day work week is great but there’s limitations to it, they would probs say you can only take that one day off when you’re not busy and with client work unless you’re not booked on anything, taking that one day off would just make work to pile up and during peak periods you’d have to work more than ten days a fortnight anyways
Like you said it’s all marketing gimmicks just like unlimited annual leave some firms offer, where you can’t take leave whenever you want
pretty bang on. i personally haven't heard of GT's 9 day work week, but i knew it was marketing from the get-go. No one's really going to do your work for you, and even if you do take this 'day off', you still have to make up for it (and potentially pull longer hours, or work on the weekend)
this is what made public accounting pretty depressing when i was in it, where you couldn't really afford to be sick as even taking the day off would mean you put pressure on yourself to make the deadline (by way of working weekends)
I’ve worked at PP and I know people who have worked at GT. This depends on which city as PP is largely separate between states and there is a very big difference between say Sydney and Melbourne

Both roles are audit - PP calls it BAA but it’s essentially just audit, not business services

You start with a Dear/Hi … and end with a “Thank you”
This is reddit mate, not a company email
Manner maketh man
Dear random reddit user, Appreciate your reply Thank you, Another random reddit user
You got it
You get a day off every two weeks at GT (9 day fortnight)
Sounds attractive
You have to work 10 hours a day I’m assuming for that.
What happens when you’re working 6-7 days a week during busy season?
You get burnt out

I can confirm the 9 day fortnight is not available during the busy season
There you go! It was introduced after I left, but I knew there’s no way it’s possible during busy season
DYOR
Which city?
