How can I get my finance to understand our 6 yr. old son that has ADHD needs to go outside to play?

Some days my finance does not let our son go outside. I beleive it is because our son does not always stay in our yard but sometimes runs off.

How can I get my finance to understand our 6 yr. old son that has ADHD needs to go outside to play?
All children need to play outside, fresh air and sunshine are very important in growing a healthy child. And a child with ADHD who runs off is not being bad, it is a part of their condition and spanking will not help, they need better supervision, which is why your fiance won't let him go out, because they don't feel like watching him.
Reply:Dump your fiancee, get your kid off drugs, and whip his butt with a switch if he doesn't mind.
Reply:TELL HER TO MAKE A GAME OUT OF EVERYTHING. THAT HELPS. MY SON'S FATHER IS BI-POLAR AND THAT IS HAREDITARY. SO I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE SITUATION. MAKE A GAME IT HELPS ALOT.
Reply:Is he being treated for ADHD by a doctor? perhaps you can bring it up with the doctor there, that may help convince her.
Reply:IT'S SPELLED FIANCE'. TAKE HIM TO THE DOCTOR AND HAVE THE DOCTOR EXPLAIN THE SYMPTOMS OF WHAT YOUR CHILD HAS AND HOW TO HANDLE IT. TO HELP YOU HELP YOUR CHILD. THE CHILD NEEDS PATIENCE, LOVE , UNDERSTANDING. NOT THE OPPOSITE. THE MORE YOU HOLD'EM BACK THE MORE WRATH AND OUY OF CONTROL YOU'RE GONNA FEEL.
Reply:Have your fiance spend some one on one time, say a day with your son, inside on a rainy day. If he doesn't get it that your son benefits from being able to run off the excess energy he has by then..he may never understand

First I believe your father suffers from HEART DISEASE not HEAT!!!





Second What exactly is it that you are asking for? Merchants of USA ???? What is that???





Third Being poor isn't the problem ALL hospitals MUST treat patients NO MATTER WHAT THEIR INCOME IS! If it is important to your family to get him the medical assistance/care he needs, then MONEY isn't the problem.

How does part ex-ing your car work with exisiting finance?

I have had my car for 15 months and still owe finance on it of £18000. I want to buy a different car, can I simply go into a showroom and part ex mine although I still owe on it . Whats the best way to do it? Can you part ex against approved used cars?


Do I sell the car, pay off the finance, start again?


or


Do I part ex my existing car, and let the finance company do the rest (can they do that?!)





Help a really confused guy who wants a new car but doesn't know how the hell to do it!

How does part ex-ing your car work with exisiting finance?
It depends on how much your new car costs. If it is as much or more in value to the outstanding debt then whoever you part ex with will pay off the existing finance and take out another finance agreement for the new car and the outstanding balance of the old one.


In other words you would be exchanging one credit agreement foe another and would probably end up paying more than you do now.


My advice would be to ring whoever you have your car finance with and ask them for a settlement figure. Then if you can afford it pay the debt off and start afresh.


In doing this your bargaining power with potential dealer will be greatly enhanced as dealer will be falling over themselves to offer you finance on a new car.


You will hold all the card and be in a great bargaining position so haggle hard and most importantly shop around for finance. Sometime you will find banks offer better finance deal than dealer can.


all the best Andrew D.
Reply:your quoting pounds but I'm assumign the system works the same here as in the UK. rule of thumb is if the value of teh car is greater than what you owe, then go ahead and nock yoruself out.





however if you owe more than it is worth then you are goign to end up financing for much more than jsut the value of yrou new car and this is a really bad idea. if this is the case keep yrou car and pay down on it until you no longer upside down on yoru loan.
Reply:Exactly what Briggs said. Don't get upside down on a vehicle. It will only cause you more headaches down the road. If you have the money to make up the difference then I'd go for it. But if you owe something like 5K more than it's worth I would shy away.
Reply:very easy





take the value the dealer offers for your car





subtract the £18000 finance settlement





the balance, whether positive or negative is the actual equity you have to put towards another car.





All 3 of the above answers are correct. If you have a negative equity, you really should hang on to the car a bit longer, or you will in effect pay interest on the previous loans interest. Interest on cars is usually loaded up front, less early settlement rebate ( now it gets tricky ) If you have too much negative equity, and do not want to put any more cash into the new agreement, you will have to keep the next car for a considerably longer time than you would like to

What is a good book for a Finance student?
Corporate Finance; Ross, Westerfield and Jaffe; McGraw-Hill/Irwin; 7th edition.
Reply:Fundamentals of Corporate Finance by Brealey, Myers, %26amp; Marcus.

This was the textbook I used for my introductory finance class sophomore year at Cornell. It explains the concepts really well and provides step by step examples.





I found it to be pretty helpful. Not a lot of students in my class ended up using the book, which I think was a detriment to them since they found the class to be really hard. However, I read the book, which explained concepts better than the professor and ended up with an A in the class!

Can you use car finance to purchase a private sale car?

i would like to purchase my first car using car finance and would like to know if this can be used to purchase a private sale car i.e from a friend or motor weekly etc or does the purchase have to be made from a dealer?

Can you use car finance to purchase a private sale car?
yes you can get it with private party car finance, It's a person to person car loan when you purchase your vehicle from a private party and not a dealer. This sort of financing has some of the same features as loans from a dealership purchase. However, there are of course some key differences.





Private Party Financing loan terms tend to be less than purchasing a new car from a dealer. A new car loan is typically offered for as long as seventy two months. On the other side, the maximum available loan term for private party car financing is usually forty eight months.





for your reference try http://www.moneytoride.com
Reply:Yes, you can get a used car loan from a bank, credit union, or online loan company on a car you buy from an individual, assuming you meet the qualifications for such a loan. Here's an article that has more details:

Reply:Yes and no. You can decide to purchase from either source. Private party sales are all "as-is" and with most dealers they will stand behind most of their sales most of the time.
Reply:Yes.





You can purchase from a private party.... but you will pay a higher APR. Make sure you tell them upfront that's what you plan to do.
Reply:Yes you can but the bank will only lend what the blue book says the car is worth! Even if it has modifications to make it worth more the bank will go by the blue book value!

Will MBA or a certification course help me to get into Finance industry?

I am an advertising professional looking to diversify and give more meaning to career. Want to get into Finance Industry. So will MBA help me ? or should I get a Certification in Financial Planning? which one would be better?

Will MBA or a certification course help me to get into Finance industry?
MBA is the basis and certification course offers additional leverage in the profession !
Reply:Sally Tomato is right on! The CFP only really helps if you want to be a financial advisor, but in general the MBA is more marketable. Unfortunately most Financial Firms are a bit picky of where you're MBA came from, so if you decide to pursue it you should focus your efforts on the top Business Schools. The link below should help.





Good luck!
Reply:Well if you want to be a financial planner, then get that certification. For anything else, go for an MBA. Try to go to a top school because finance jobs are competitive.

Is economics degree and finance degree the same?

is economics degree and finance degree the same once you get done with undergraduate? i can't get into my college's business school but i got into liberal arts economics major.

Is economics degree and finance degree the same?
No, they are not the same. I always explain the difference as follows: "Economics is an art, while Finance is a science"





An economic degree is typically part of a Liberal Arts education, where you will take courses in many different areas to get a well rounded education and a Bachelors of Arts degree. Finance is in the business school and you will focus on business types of courses and you will get a Bachelors of Science degree.





Even though you were not able to get into the business school, you may be able to take business courses as part of your economics degree. Also ask about what you need to achieve to transfer into the business school. I found that transferring between programs (economics to business) was much harder than transferring into the business school from outside (the school already has your money, while a transfer student is 'new money').
Reply:They are similar but they really look at the economy from very different perspectives. Econ major is usually more theoretical.


Most business firms would prefer Finance major. Some do hire Econ major and some even prefer Econ/non-business major because they think that all business majors have a particular mindset.


If you're really interested in Econ/Finance then I think Econ major will be a good choice for you. You can also try double majoring in Econ and Math.
Reply:no youre destined for failure in life. all companies know that econ majors are slackers and finance majors are winners


What type of jobs should I pursue as a Business Admin: Finance + Accounting???

I will be out of college with a degree of Business Administration with concentrations in Finance and Accounting. I am looking for a job right now. What are some places I should look at and what positions do I apply for? (Obviously I wont' get be a CFO out of college.) Thanks for all your help!

What type of jobs should I pursue as a Business Admin: Finance + Accounting???
Congratulations on graduating from college with a Bus. Admin. degree! If you want to pursue the Finance and Accounting fields there are many options available to you. However, don't be in a hurry or expect to make the big bucks right away. You'll have to take some entry level jobs and pay your dues for a few years. It's not that bad as long as you keep a positive attitude and plan your career correctly.





You should start your career with either earning your CPA license or working for a major corporation as a staff accountant.





If you plan on being a CFO someday then you should definitely go the CPA route. This involves passing a tough CPA exam and working long hours for a CPA firm for 2-3 years. The pay will be nothing to brag about, but the experience and having a CPA license will be the cornerstone of your career. Try to get hired by one of the big 4 accounting firms or a regional firm that does audit, tax, and consulting. There's also some travel involved so you'll need to be flexible. Passing part of the CPA exam now will help you get in the door. Otherwise networking through your local CPA chapter or business fraternity (Beta Alpha Psi) will help you.





If you just want to work for a few years to get some good experience then you should work in corporate accounting. You could try for an entry level Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable position. Check Yahoo! HotJobs. The pay is a little better than public accounting, but the work environment is more conservative and you probably won't get to travel as much. Try to work for a large Fortune 500 corporation with an international presence. This will look good on your resume plus later on companies will be more interested in you if you've worked for their competition. You should also be genuinely excited about the company and it's products and services. Do your homework before the interview and learn everything you can about the company (use Yahoo! Finance and type in the stock symbol). Examine their financials, annual report, and press releases. Understand their products and services, operations, growth history, industry, officers and directors, competitors, etc.





Getting your MBA is also a good goal, but get a few years work experience first. This will enhance your learning time. Plus if you're employed with a good company they'll pay for part or all of your MBA classes if you maintain a 3.0 gpa. After all this, you should be ready for that CFO position you dream of. Otherwise, you can venture into multiple areas of business consulting, mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, venture capital management, etc.





I also recommend you stay at any one company or position for about 2-3 years. If you're not growing or being challenged, don't be afraid to look for work elsewhere and move on. Try to develop some basic people, writing, and speaking skills along the way. Become an expert as some type of software, application, or process. It doesn't have to be much. But something that you can talk about and prove that you are valuable to the company.





There's a ton more I could tell you about the accounting and business world, but you're just starting out and I don't want to overwhelm you. A big part of finding work is networking and I hope you can connect with some good people that can help you. You may want to also talk with your university professors or the career placement center at your school. If you can't get a paying job then you should consider non-paying internship too as this will give you good experience and a foot in the door. Once you're in, get to know the hiring managers and start impressing people by working hard. If they like you they'll create a position for you.





Good luck!

Are there any good finance websites to learn about corporate finance?

Hi! I'm a college student who just started my first week in a Corporate Finance course. I'm wondering if there is a good corporate finance website for students that has for instance a tutorial on corporate finance concepts and terms? Or any discussion groups for students?

If you search for the website, could you let me know the search terms you used?

How does personal finance affect the economy?

how would personal finance on a personal level affect the US economy?

How does personal finance affect the economy?
If you've watched the news in the last few days or weeks, you will have seen that there are a record number of foreclosures on houses right now.





Many people got in over their heads with ARM's or other types of creative financing on houses that they now can't sell because the housing market has gone down. Subprime lenders make loans to people with poor credit, and rising defaults in those loans have been a factor in the stock market's volatility this past week.





So, I'd say personal finance can have an effect on the overall economy.
Reply:People with bad personal finances are not able to make as many purchases, spend as much money, or save as much money. They get in debt, default on loans, and generally have a harder time managing money. They often do not save enough for retirement.





Bad personal finance is bad for the economy overall.


If I owner finance a piece of land, is the the whole gain taxable in the same year it sells?

I live in TX, so with regards to Federal Tax, if I owner finance a piece of land, will I have to pay taxes on the amount as if it is a cash sale?

If I owner finance a piece of land, is the the whole gain taxable in the same year it sells?
Check IRS publication 537 about installment sales. An installment sale is a sale of property where you receive at least one payment after the tax year of the sale. The gain on the property is recognized on your tax return over the period that you receive payments. So if you finance the property over a period of five years, you recognize the gain over five years. It is reported on Form 6252.
Reply:This is called a seller-financed mortgage, and I (a tax professional) currently have one - lucky for you, huh?


You claim the income in the year in which you receive it. You should also be aware that you may need to issue a Form 1098 Mortgage Interest Statement to the buyer, so that they can deduct the interest they're paying. Don't forget that any interest you get from them must be reported on Schedule B of your tax return, with the buyer's name and Social Security number where you would normally put the name of the bank.
Reply:If you take back the buyer's note or promise to pay, you may be able to report your gain on the installment method. Under the installment method, you compute your gain as a percentage of the selling price, and you report the proportionate amount of gain when you receive each payment.





You should consult a qualified tax advisor who can inform you as to the requirements and limitations of the installment method, and describe how it applies to your particular situation.

Should I switch my undergrad major from finance to accounting?

I currently don't have a job and I'm not seeing many jobs in finance that I'm interested in. Should I get an entry level accounting job and still earn my bachelor's in finance and then earn a master's in accounting? or vice versa? I'm starting to think that I'd rather be an accountant to make a living rather than something in finance.

Should I switch my undergrad major from finance to accounting?
Having a degree in accounting would allow your job market to widen. Every company needs accountants and they want lots of them. My dad majored in accounting and started straight out of college as an accountant for a large company. He now is head of sales and marketing for Europe and Asia as well as helping out the North America division. The options are great for accounting to get you a job right off the bat and to move upward through a company. So I would say go for the accounting degree because you won't need to get a masters to get great work.
Reply:I would absolutely advise you to get your accounting degree and then work toward getting enough hours to sit for the CPA exam. Accounting can be very rewarding from a financial standpoint, and doesn't require the same extra professional school that law and medicine do. I'm not of the opinion that a finance degree would help much if you're headed toward an accounting career.

Other than work in a treasury department for a production company, I think you're SOL. That doesn't mean you can't or won't find something, but to make the most money and or actually find a job, you probably won't go into theater. I majored in finance and work as an accountant. Keep this in mind, if you make good money - you can do as much on the side as you want - and get involved in those other things in your spare time. Your objective should be to secure a great fiancial future, if at all possible.

Best jobs with Finance BBA without MBA to prepare for future investment banking?

Reply:If you're a recent grad with high GPA and sometime a good school will help, many banks have "associate programs" that they will invest in you for 1 year to 1.5 years. I work at a large bank in Charlotte and they have such training programs. Salary is pretty good too!





Other than that maybe a "treasury analyst" or any where in the "fixed income trading" or "middle office analyst"





Good Luck!


These are great starts to a high paying career in Corporate Investment Banking!
Reply:I do recruiting for an investment bank in NY. Investment banks recruit separately for undergraduates and MBAs, so you won't be competing for the same jobs.





It is indeed challenging to get hired into an investment banking role. A summer internship in the area helps, but isn't completely necessary. Any sort of work experience or even school activities like a student investment fund will generally help. But critically, you need to know the basics of financial statements, discounted cash flow analysis, etc. It also helps to study recent deals of investment banks and be able to talk about them. And be a team player -- be prepared to give examples.





Good luck!

It's never a bad idea to go back to school to change your career. There are no age restrictions on internships available to students (and in fact it's illegal to discriminate based on age), so go ahead and apply. The availability of interships to full time / part time students is best answered by your college's career center. It is likely that they have both.





You should recognize that most internships and even full time hiring opportunities after graduation will be at the bottom end of the pay scale. So you've got to be mentally prepared for that.





Good luck!

Hyundai will pretty much finance you if you can fog a mirror.
Reply:Yes, they will probably finance you, but the higher risk they believe you to be, the higher interest rate they will charge you. In some cases the dealers will have their own finace which sometimes is no interest, but the loan has to be paid within 12 months. But in most cases the dealers go through a finance company, or do it through a broker to find someone who will finance you. Make sure you check the interest rate, as this sometimes hidden pretty well

How many years can you finance an SBA loan for?

How many years can you finance an SBA loan for?


I am interested in getting an SBA loan for my business. Is it possible to borrow lets say $500k on an SBA loan and finance over 30 years. And what would the typical interest rate be?

How many years can you finance an SBA loan for?
The SBA is a guaranteer of loans. They don't actual give the loan. Typically to borrow that kind of money, your business would have to be operating for a least 2+ years. You can get a microloan for up to $50K. The APR is decent and repayment time depends (7-10 yrs). I am in the process of trying to get a microloan, it requires less, but it is a great way to get money for your start-up. Good luck!


Is it worth it to double major in finance and accounting?

Hey, I am considering doing a double major in business (finance) and accounting. I can do it in 4 years, I would just have a tight schedule with a tougher work load and not be able to take any elective classes that seem interesting. Is it worth it to risk a better GPA if I were just to mahjor in accounting? How does it benefit me if I want to go into financial services (corporate finance, i-banking, private equity, hedge fund, venture capital...) and/or corp. finance in energy or healthcare?

Is it worth it to double major in finance and accounting?
I would probably go for the Accounting degree. You will have more career options available to you. If you look at most job postings in the financial services field, they require a degree in either Finance or Accounting. If you ever decide to become a CPA most states require you to have a master's degree or 150 hours (30 in accounting) on your transcript to even be eligible to sit for the exam. The double major would help you in that respect, but taking the electives would be more enjoyable. The Big 4 accounting firms like for you to have a good GPA as well. Also, make sure you have a good credit rating if you are going to be working with other people's money, so STAY AWAY FROM CREDIT CARDS while in college!!!





Seek the advice of someone already in that field. Who would know better?!





Good luck to you...
Reply:If you want to go into financial services, the accounting degree probably won't help you out too much. If you wanted to go this route and double major in something, I would say your best bet would be finance and economics, or economics and Mathmatics.





However, if you want to stay in corporate finance, the accounting degree will probably be worth it as finance and accounting work very closely with eachother in that environment.





I hope this helps.
Reply:No need for the double major.





Major in Finance and it will cover the basics of Accounting. You'll do fine in the corporate world.





An advance degree will set you apart from the competition.

If I am majoring in finance, how long will I have to study for the CFA exam?

its a tough , gruelling course with a high failure rate...better to be great at the marks of the university than throw the dice and be OK with the two...the people hiring only look at if you have the CFA or not. A far better strategy would be to complete CFA as you work for 2 reasons. One ..the business will probably pay some of it and will cut you some slack exam time and two...it will really hit home when you use the theory of the courses to practical applications at work. Remember that it is where you want to go...not the job you want right away...you got to earn the right....

Banks will finance ANYTHING they believe will make them money.





I suggest looking into a credit union instead though, you'll get MUCH better terms.


Can I teach High School with a degree in Finance?

I know it's probably different depending on where you are, but I am in the process of getting my bachelor's in Finance and was wondering if there was anything I could teach in High School. If I minored in something such as history or english would that help?

Can I teach High School with a degree in Finance?
You will need to check with your college to see what suggestion they have but I know that you have to either find a school district that will do an aspiring teacher academy which will help you get licensed or take the coursework to get you your license. The other thing you will need to do is check with your state department of ed website and this will give you any requirements for a teaching license. If you are from Kansas I can help more, sorry so vague but every state is so different.
Reply:Possibly. Economics teachers are in high demand.Maybe you would be better off studying for a maths degree.
Reply:Most private secondary schools in the U.S. do not require you to have teaching credentials, but public schools do.


What classes should I take in high school if I want to go into accounting or finance?

I am finishing the 10th grade. I have already taken Algebra 1, Geometry, Honors Biology, CP Chemistry, US History, AP History (first section), Honors English 9, and English 10. I want to either go into accounting, finance, auditing, or something related to that.

What classes should I take in high school if I want to go into accounting or finance?
Take all the accounting classes, and calculus, and any other business finance classes that your school offers. They dont count towards college unless they are through the college but it will give you a good idea of what to expect and some good practice before college.
Reply:Accounting Classes if Your High School offers it. My high school offered Accounting 1 and Accounting 2 my Junior and Senior year.
Reply:Don't worry, high school classes don't really have any impact on college level classes. Just keep up the math and you should be fine when you get to college.

Which is better overall, a bachelors in finance or a bachelors in accounting?are you an accountant?

I am a college student. My options for a major is in accounting or Finance. Are you (reader) an accountant ? Do you have a bachelors degree in finance or accounting ? If so , how has the degree helped you to get a job?Will I , most likely, get a job right after I graduate with an accounting or finance degree? Where can I start an entry level position?

Which is better overall, a bachelors in finance or a bachelors in accounting?are you an accountant?
Go for the accounting degree. Here's why, A degree in finance is esoteric, i.e., it has little practical applications. A degree in accounting, however, tells a prospective employer that you have taken courses in the practical aspects of accounting, such as; accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, taxes, etc. As a prospective employer, I would always hire a person with a degree in accounting, over someone with a degree in finance.





I'm afraid it's beyond my scope of expertise, to advise you where to search for employment after graduation, as I have no idea where you live, or want to work, or the employment opportunities in that area. Lots of luck!!





I'm not an accountant. I'm a retired electrical engineer with PhD's in electrical engineering and applied physics. My wife however is a CPA with a master's degree in accounting.
Reply:I have an MBA in Finance and my wife is a CPA. I have seen both sides of this subject. Go for the accounting track if, and only if, you LOVE accounting. This is a narrow track and you will end up in one of several positions (be it public or private accounting). Audit, Tax, Compliance/SOX or Reporting. The CPA exam is VERY difficult. Like I said, if you LOVE accounting, you should go this direction. You will be guaranteed a career as accountants are always in high demand. Expect to earn $60k to $120k as you work your way up.





-acounting is the science of recording financial data-





Finance (my profession) is much more broad. I am in corporate banking but you could do investment banking, securities, corporate finance, etc. The possibilites, and compensation levels, are much greater. Finance is a wide scope subject that really deals with the philosophy behind money. From economics, to accounting, to investing, to basinally anything that has to do with time and money. Also, no CPA exam. Expect to earn from $60k to ???. Most finance guys (I'm talking investment banking, M%26amp;A, etc) on wall street are worth 7 figures within 5 years after leaving college.





-finance is the science of risk to reward and the time value of money-
Reply:Yes, you do need to love accounting, but it's not as narrow a field as some may lead you to believe. It is the more practical choice and it provides you with a good baseline and a marketable skill. I am a CPA. I worked in both public accounting and private industry for a number of years, including management positions over both accounting and finance departments. I then returned to school for an MBA with a concentration in finance, which assisted me in obtaining executive-level positions. I'm now a CEO for mid-size corporation. I've had the opportunity to teach accounting and business courses. I've done tax returns and business consulting. Through public accounting, I was exposed to numerous industries and jobs to help determine my specialization. I think accoutning is one of the better places from which to start a varied career.
Reply:I like to say that accounting is what people use to make decisions when they don't understand finance. But the truth is that I don't understand accounting.





I have a PhD in Finance. I have trouble with it because in accounting, you have to have a rule for everything -- even if the rule doesn't make sense.





Here is what I'd like you to do to see which is best for you. Take the Myers Briggs test (or the Kiersey temperment sorter). I've included a link to a free site below. It assigns four letters based on your preferences. They are:





E or I -- for Extrovert/Introvert


N or S -- for Intruitive or Sensor


T or F -- for Thinker or Feeler


P or J -- for Perceiver or Judger.





Anyway -- the second letter is what you will care about. If you are an S -- then accounting will be good for you. You need to immerse yourself in data %26amp; sift through it for the best solution. If you are an N -- then finance is better for you. You don't care about the data -- you care about the theory behind the data.





I'm serious about this -- knowing your type will help you decide.
Reply:Accounting and finance overlap. I cannot imagine a finance degree that does not require some accounting nor an accounting degree that does not indirectly speak to finance. I suppose on the surface accounting is more practical, but perhaps more narrow. Do you want to be involved in strategy or global markets or trading, etc, these speak more to finance. Likewise, most jobs in "finance" - such as research or investment banking or whatnot do not require advanced accounting but just a solid foundation.
Reply:I have a Bachelors of Science in Accounting. This major lends itself to an easy transition into public accounting. It is fairly easy to get a job in this industry, especially with Sarbanes-Oxley in full swing...and you will get your foot in the door to get another job in about 2-3 years. But you will work very hard and very long hours.





A major in Finance could also land you a job in public accounting, but it will be more difficult. You would most likely have to go back to school for a Masters of Accountancy. With a finance degree, you could go into personal finance, or possibly get a job in general accounting at a company.





If you want to be an accountant, you should sit for the CPA exam, which is a whole other monster. The major in Accounting would better prepare you for this. A lot of universities offer a 5-year program now so that you can get the 150 hours/credits/units you need in order to sit for the exam.

Where can I find a venture capitalist to finance my game production?

I am starting a video game company and have 5 games already lined up with a possible 6th. I don't have much $$$ to finance this and don't have enough credit to take out a loan. I am looking into grants and thought about venture capitalists.... are there any out there? How does it work to have one? anyone have a clue so I don't waste my time on something that either isn't what i'm looking for or something that just won't happen?? please give advice.... thanks

Where can I find a venture capitalist to finance my game production?
A lot of people think of venture capitalist when then are looking to raise money for a business. There are actually a lot of avenues for fund raising and venture capital, to my knowledge, overall, is a small part of how most businesses are financed. I don't know all the specifics of venture capital agreements, but they tend to be pretty restrictive, so something to keep in mind. Anyway, some of the other ways to raise funds for a business that we discussed in my class are to ask friends and family for money, get a business loan through a bank or the sba and through angel investors. You may want to do some reading on how to finance a business because there are several avenues to get money and a book would go through the pros and cons of each.
Reply:tell me about the games and ill look into it.


What would be a good objective for a Finance Resume?

I hope somebody can help, I'm graduating soon, and looking for a great objective for my resume in the Finance field.

What would be a good objective for a Finance Resume?
What I generally tell my students is that an objective is strictly optional! The KEY is to only use it to tell an employer if you're looking for a specific type of work, say customer service as opposed to sales. Or if you want a part-time job rather than full-time.





But personally, I suggest leaving the objective off your resume entirely because you want an employer to consider you for any and all positions they feel you're right for. In other words, let them come to you and say "Here's what we've got for you." You are then free to pick and choose which ones interest or don't interest you, and thus can always say no.

Is there a good , (possibly free way) to learn how to do all my finance things?

Stocks or Bonds, Applying for credit cards for the first time, Finding out how to best handle my money.


I'm out of college and I never found out about real world finance. PLEASE HELP ME GROW UP!

Is there a good , (possibly free way) to learn how to do all my finance things?
1. Open up a checking account. You'll need this for basic money management, like paying bills, etc.





2. Credit cards - be careful with these, you can get in over your head fast. Pay them off 100% every month - if you do that you won't have to pay interest on them, which is typically very high (up to 20%). The bank that gave you a checking acct. can get you a credit card too. Or, just wait and your mailbox will get flooded with offers. Choose the one with no annual fee and the lowest interest rate.





3. For stocks and bonds you need to do some research. A good book will help. I'd recommend Peter Lynch's "Beating the Street"





4. Got a good job? Thinking about buying a house? The housing market is currently in a slump, meaning there are great deals out there right now. The kind of deals you might not see for another 20years. But this might only last another year or two. Save like crazy and you can get a house while the market is favorable.
Reply:yes: a free class taught by your successful loved-one and elder.





ask them to give you some basic ideas of how to do these things and they can probably answer all of your questions!
Reply:I'll give you the same advise a wise old dude gave me years ago. Go to your bank and introduce yourself to the manager. Sit down and talk with them. Every time you go to your bank, make it a point to at least say hello to the manager. You will get more good financial advise from them, it won't cost you a dime, and when you need to set yourself up for a loan that might be on the iffy side of the bank OKing, you will almost always get the benefit of the doubt if the person making the loan actually knows you. That advise got me a house loan when I couldn't show on paper that I could afford it. The manager has also set me up with some good investments over the years. It doesn't take much of your time, costs nothing, and it works. All in all, not a bad deal. Good luck to you, Grad.

Can finance companies charge interest on late payments?

When you make a car payment late can the finance company charge you interest on that payment for the life of the loan? So that when you make the last car payment they want a interest payment because the interest is calculated daily on the late payment.

Can finance companies charge interest on late payments?
Yes, they charge interest on the outstanding balance.
Reply:It is calculated because you didn't pay on time so it made the principle higher therefore interest is higher pay extra next several payment.


When buying or leasing a car should I buy all those things that the finance guy is trying to sell me?

You know the situation. You finished 3 hours of negotiation with the sales guy and you go into sign papers with the finance guy. Now he trys to sell you extended warranty, fabric protection, paint coatings, alarms, tires protection, etc. You can easily spend $4000 or more. Is it a good deal to buy?

When buying or leasing a car should I buy all those things that the finance guy is trying to sell me?
ext warrenty mayb ... all that other crap waist of money .. he just tryin to get u to pay what he took off the price of the car to begin with ...





fabric protection u can get in a auto parts store ..


paint coating .. use wax and polish ..


alarms .. your choice , most new vehicles come with an engine immobilizer in the key ...


tire protection .. thats up to you ...
Reply:We took the tire protection..that way we don't have to pay to replace the tires...and the over the limit waiver...because there's no way we'd have been under the lease milage limit,,,lol





Everything else was covered by my auto insurance....
Reply:Only if you want them. Never buy something because "it's a good deal." But generally, they're not. Want fabric protection? Buy a can of Scotchguard. Paint coating? It's just turtle wax.
Reply:no they are rip offs, disability ins is the only extra worth having
Reply:No, the F%26amp;I guy is selling the items, that's their job to get you to purchase all this unneeded crap. Just keep saying no, the F%26amp;I person won't get commision from you, and that's just fine.
Reply:To make an intelligent decision, I would listen to the guy, and see if any of it makes sense-if it does, buy it, if not pass!
Reply:The question you need to ask yourself is, "Do I really need these things?" More often than not the answer is no. Even if you change your mind later on, you can find all of those things at a cheaper price in the aftermarket, and it won't raise you monthly payment. One thing I would give some consideration to is the extended warranty. If you plan on leasing, I wouldn't worry about it. If you buy the car, an extended warranty might be a good idea, providing it covered the same things that your factory warranty covers; and that it won't raise your monthly payment that much.





I guess it all comes down to personal choice.
Reply:It is called up selling. Most of what they try to sell you is 80-90% proffit for the dealer. The only thing I would consider is an extended factory warranty. Also FYI, the Finance guy is one of the highest paid people working in the dealership.


Any tips on finding H1b sponsor in the States, in Finance or Audit?

Hey guys,


I'm looking for a H1B sponsor in the States, preferrably in Louisiana or Texas, but doesn't have to be. I have a degree in finance and an MBA from Southeastern Louisiana University, and work experience in finance, audit and administration... The issue is that I left the States in May of 2007 and I am trying to get a sponsorship while being abroad. Any tips or ideas?

Any tips on finding H1b sponsor in the States, in Finance or Audit?
You should have started to look for possible employers before you left the US.





I suggest you make a list of companies that you want, and send your resumes. It's going to be tough given the mail expenses. Or some employers allow you to send resumes by email -- highlight the fact that you got an MBA degree in the US.





One thing you need to consider is your distance -- some companies might not be inclined to interview you if that means flying you into the US on their expense. You need to have a really good resume that the employer will consider looking for ways to interview you for the position (as some will throw your resume the moment they see that you currently live outside of the US)





Your best bet is to come back to the US, possibly on a tourist visa and while here, try to find employers.
Reply:There are various opportunities as required by you. Since you possess an MBA from states and good experience in the field, please visit job portals to identify your prospective employer.


Best of Luck !!

Why did some Americans support and finance the IRA in their terror campaign?

Why did some Americans support and finance the IRA in their terror campaign?


After 9/11 the IRA's funding went drastically down hill because Americans stopped giving them money - apparently because they realised what it felt to be hit by terrorist attacks.





But why before that did they support the IRA when they could see that their money was being spent on terrorist attacks and bombing government buildings?

Why did some Americans support and finance the IRA in their terror campaign?
A lot of it's to do with American history-


The dominant culture in America is the one that started out as a British colony and rebelled. This society was bolstered by thousands of immigrants (many from Ireland).





In American historical, movies and books; the English are at best ineffectual cowards and at worst psychopathic baddies (think of the british actors who've made a very good living playing baddies, think of Braveheart, The Patriot and Titanic- all of which tweak historical fact to play the English as evil and immoral). To the Irish immigrants; the British had been bogymen since Cromwell.*








Something in the American psyche likes to harken back to an idealised version of their old country.





Some of the "American Irish" fondly viewed the IRA as bravely fighting to liberate their home country (much as the USA did in their war of independence).


At this point, Ireland had achieved home rule, apart from the North which had voted to stay in the UK.


It was against this democratic decision that the IRA were fighting








Bombarding police stations with mortars and planting bombs in pubs, memorial services and crowded shopping centres were seen as a means to an end.


Their victims may have been personally innocent, but they were complicit in the suppression of the Irish.





After 9/11, NORAID lost a lot of support. The idea of killing civilians to promote political change suddenly seemed less... fair, somehow.





These brave freedom fighters planting bombs in bandstands and cars were suddenly seen in their real colours.





Nowadays NORAID doesn't promote insurgent attacks in Ireland anymore.


Nor do they raise money for the terrorsists.


Have a peek at their website (below). When you think of their rhetoric twenty years ago and the speaking tours where murderers were presented as heros, it's a bit of a shock.


NORAID has changed from The Irish Northern Aid Committee to No One Ranting About Irish Democracy.





*There was a chunk here about Cromwells' campaigns in Ireland, but it got a bit big.
Reply:That was mainly people from the east coast, with strong ties and family still in Ireland. Most of us really had no clue that it was even happening to tell the truth. They didn't ever make it publicly known that they were sending money and weapons over to Ireland, until it was over and done with.
Reply:Many Irish Catholics in America support a single autonomous Ireland, free from British rule. They believe Ulster should be controlled by the Catholics in the rest of the country. These people see the IRA as freedom fighters, not terrorists and murderers.
Reply:Because British troops wouldn't get out of Ireland!!!!!!!
Reply:there are a lot of irish in our country, some of them in high places.

How does managment work in in finance?

In large US and UK companies how does the finance part of the company work, the CFO is the top, who do they have under them? How powerful is the CFO in regards to the entire business. Is CFO the common term in big US and UK companies or are they know by other titles? Thanks guys!!!!!

How does managment work in in finance?
An effective CFO plays a number of important roles within the entrepreneurial company that are essential in providing a strong financial foundation for a growing business


1.Implements/Supervises Internal Controls


Those controls should include the effective management of cash flow and overhead expenses, establishing credit policies for customers and working with major vendors to achieve more favorable payment terms, and implementing procedures for measuring and evaluating optimal inventory levels


2.Handles Projects With Major Financial Impact


3.Cultivates Relationships With Outside Financing Sources


4.Drives Major Strategic (long term) Issues


5.Serves As Key Advisor To Company Management





No doubt the CFO holds great amount of authority and power as he is able to direct the money of a business.But this also depends upon the structure of the company's governance and the culture.


And its a common term all over the world however there might be slight changes in the role due to the size,nature and the requirement of the business

What are a few of the best schools that offer undergrad majors in finance/banking?

I am looking at going into investment banking and am looking for colleges now. I am looking for something fairly reputable like Wharton or NYU but also some second choices were i to not get into those. I was also wondering if there is an advantage to actually getting an undergrad degree in finance as opposed to something like a generic business degree from somewhere like Harvard or Stanford. I'm really looking for some intermediate schools instead of all the very selective ones. I do have a 2200 SAT and 36 ACT but i really don't know how far thats going to get me in one of those schools.

What are a few of the best schools that offer undergrad majors in finance/banking?
look at the ACT statistics from their website. 2.1 million students took the ACT last year, only 1 in 5,500 got a 36. Therefore approx. 381 students got this score. Every Ivy League school in the country is fighting to grab any of these 381 students for admissions. You will have the opportunity to go to any school you choose very easily. You have a free ticket with a 36. Statistically it is extremely rare.

How does managment work in in finance?
CFO is the top of the finance department - In Aust it would be somewhat similar I suppose, below the CFO is the group accountant and then different Accounts department such as Payroll/Accounts receivable/Payable, each has a senior accountant or supervisors depending on size of each section reports to the group accountant who reports to the CFO. Depending on the size and structure of the corp. it may vary.





In a corporation, basically the CFO (and the top of other departments) would report to the CEO, who reports to the Board of directors.





So, CFO in the finance department holds power, overall in the corporation the CEO is more powerful!





In some countries which may be true in the states or UK, the CFO may be part of the Board of directors which makes the CFO more powers.





Another name I found for CFO include finance director in UK (Wikipedia)
Reply:I always thought that the CFO is the person the Financial Controller reports to. Below the Financial Controller are the Accountant and other accounting staff. That's what happens in the company where I work.

Could I get approved from Honda finance for a new car with this score?
It's not your credit score that will keep you out of that new Honda it's the fact that you owe twice as much as your old car is worth.





Adding $5000 to the price of a new car to cover your old bad loan is a deal killer.
Reply:yes you would be able to qualify...but i would have a couple auto loan offers lined up just to see who offers you the best apr? when going with the dealer they will try to screw you. so my advice would be to shop around for the best apr for your auto loan before going to the dealer. that too will give you more buying power. i got my auto loan here...

Can I consolidate a fairly new finance company loan?

I have about 3 new finance company loans ( I know I'm stupid-just trying to provide for family) %26amp; I was wondering if I can consolidate so soon after opening them.

Can I consolidate a fairly new finance company loan?
If you can get someone to loan you enough to pay off the existing loans, there is no minimum time to CONsolidate. Note I emphasized the CON in CONsolidation. most people that CONsolidate debt continue to overspend. In a few years they replace the original debt PLUS they have the CONsolidation loan. If you actually adjust your life to pay down your debt, CONsolidation is not necessary.
Reply:Of course you can consolidate them! but you are asking for a very high interest charge.... Leave them alone and pay them off on time.. A good way to get a good rating. If you consolidate the only thing that will do is 1. You will have one payment 2. You will pay another PLUS amount in iterest... Maybe you should take a lesson in economics. In order to serve your family best do this: DISCONTINUE BUYING THE THINGS YOU WANT... ONLY PURCHASE THE THINGS YOU REALLY NEED and begin saving some money each month in a savings acct (which you never touch unless it is a dire emergency) control your purchases and if you have not one begin using a budget..

Check the following:





1. Financial Analyst


2. Finance Officer


3. Investment Analyst


4. Fund Manager


5. Insurance Counselor


6. Stock Broker


7. Credit Risk Analyst or Credit Analyst
Reply:You can apply for virtually any entry level job in any discipline and be fine. However, the next step in your career may not mean a significant pay increase. If you check the job boards, most of the mid-career positions require a bachelor's degree and prefer 5 years of experience.





The position of financial analyst is broader than you may imagine. This is a somewhat generic term with a great variety in job descriptions while the job specifications (qualifications) will be similar in nature.





I would suggest that you spiff up that resume and get active in looking at these jobs. The position that you are in will lend itself to carving a deep career track toward accounting that once deep enough could serve to limit or delay your ultimate destination if it is outside of accounting.





One thing that you must always remember is that any job is attainable if you go about it the right way. For me, I never finished college, but still made my way in life to a six figure income by the time I was 30. It wasn't easy, but I never let 'requirements' from an HR geek deter me from my goals.





When asked in job interviews about any shortcomings, find ways to turn them into positives. I left...errr got booted from college with a 0.33 GPA. I remember an interviewer asked me about this and assumed it was a typo on the application. I simply answered, "No, that's right. I earned it. I spent a lot of time working on my communications skills" and we both had a good laugh. Got the job and it was a good stepping stone in my career.





One of the best books that I've read on job hunting was "How to Land Your Dream Job" by Jeffrey Fox. It is an excellent resource and a quick read to boot.





In the end, the answer to your question is: Do whatever you please.
Reply:I would suggest avoiding anything that has anything to do with income tax. Income taxation may be abolished soon leaving a lot of people in that field looking for new jobs.
Reply:Take as much math and accounting as you can. Just try to apply for internships in things that seem interesting to you. Maybe your school has a finance club where you can search.

Reply:Hi pollytick,





It took me a little while to figure out how to set up new portfolios in the the format too. I had a portfolio that simply didn't convert, hence I had to rebuild it. Apparently there are some changes in the new finance module. You may need to create a new portfolio to view your mutual funds -- Click on the module title which will open Yahoo Finance page -- Move your mouse over the "My Portfolios" tab and select the "New portfolio" which will take you to the Create New Portfolio page.

What are the basic Concepts of Finance most employers look for in entry level B&P Analysts?

I am working towards my BA in business , most likely a core in Finance, and I have an phone interview this week for a Budgets %26amp; Planning Analyst. I've been studying for this on basic accounting concepts and some fianncial analysis, but still at a loss. At best, I can gauge myself on what I need to work on in by improving skillset %26amp; knowledge. I have a job but I am shooting for higher ground - its time for a change. Any help is appreciated.

I'd make the phone interview as short as possible by asking for a real interview..

Reply:Yes, SAP FICO would suit you as you are in Finance background. Whether it would help you in career or not, depends on you much you learn and try to get most of it and get a good job. But one thing for sure, you can understand SAP better if you go for FICO , because you can co-relate the configurations and transactions to the finance related business processes.





Good Luck

What if i bought a car which is still under finance (not my name)? Can I resell it?

I bought a car from someone. He didn't tell me about the car is under finance . I have successfully registered the car with RTA under my name and now I'd like to resell it, here is a few questions:





1. Do I have to notify the bank? But I just bought the car from trading post, I have lost the contact of previous owner.





2. What will happen if the previous owner not paying the installment?





3. Will the car be towed because the ex-owner not paying the finance?





P.S. I found it under finance because I tried to sell it to dealer and they told me so.





THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING!!

What if i bought a car which is still under finance (not my name)? Can I resell it?
It was not his to sell And there for not yours to sell.The finance has to sign off for it to be sold.Yes they can take it back for nun payment.Try to fine the finance co. tell them what happen maybe they will let you make the payments
Reply:Do you have the title in your name? If not I would think not.
Reply:yes but you are better off selling it to car max cause they pay off your balance for you and give you a check for what is left after the balance has been paid. You get the check the same day.


I live in Illinois and my car's finance company is in Michigan, will my reposses car go to Michigan or stay?

I'm behind on my car payments and the finance company is trying to reposses my car, if they take it before I pay it off, will my car stay in Illinois where I live or go to Michigan where the finance company is? Will I have to pay the balance to get the car back? How long (in the state of Illinois) will they allow me to come up with the money? Please serious inquires only!

I think you meant 'serious answers', but anyways....





Only your finance company knows where the car is going to end up. Even though they are in Michigan, they probably have a partnership with an Illinois based tow company and/or storage facility.





How long you have to come up with the money depends on the terms of your agreement, so I suggest you read the paperwork you signed when you bought the car.





In order to get the car back, you will need to pay the balance of what you owe, plus any towing and storage fees if the finance company agrees to give you the car back.


Note - Since you breached the contract by not paying, they do not have to sell you the car back. If they do not, you will have to buy it back at auction if you want the same car.....and you probably won't be able to finance that since you would have a repo on your credit history.





Good luck.
Reply:It will be sold where you are...


How to finance a new construction home?

I need to know how to go about financing a home that i want to build I own a lot free and clear in city limits and have a home plan that i would like Now i need to start preparing my finance and i don't know where to start Please help

How to finance a new construction home?
Talk to lenders about construction loans. They are specifically designed for your needs.
Reply:If your construction is complete, you will need to finance long term financing. It's possible the lender you used for construction draws would be able to help you. Otherwise I suggest you check with several local lenders to see what programs they offer and how they might suit your financial situation the best.
Reply:All-In-One Construction loan. It converts to a fixed loan after you obtain your CO. (Certificate of Occupancy)
Reply:A long term loan from a bank. You will need to back up loan with something or someone.

Do you need experience in TV, movies and music to work in finance at major companies?

I know if you want to be the CEO or president of a record label like Sony BMG or Universal or the same for a movie studios and tv networks but do you need experience in these fields if you want to work in finance? I would like to some day become the CFO of a major company like the above mentioned.

Do you need experience in TV, movies and music to work in finance at major companies?
Experience in TV, movies and music is not a common background for senior management of these companies. Let's look at a few of them:





Time Warner- Chairman Richard Parsons: was CEO of Dime Savings Bank. John Martin, the company's CFO was an equity analyst at ABN AMRO.





CBS-Sumner Redstone, the Chairman, is a Harvard law graduate.Les Moonves, the CEO came from Warner Brothers Television. Fred Reynolds, the CFO came out of Westinghouse Electric.








In my view, the CFO of an entertainment company should have a primary focus on capital structure and financing decisions as well as access to capital. A finance background is more appropriate for reporting to shareholders, especially public company experience.
