• Be early. r/Accounting gets about 113 new posts a day, so a question is buried within hours. The first useful answers get the attention.
• Read the sidebar and pinned posts. Moderators often add rules there, and rules change. Check r/Accounting's before your first post.
• Build a history first. Comment helpfully on r/Accounting for a few weeks before you post. Accounts that only ever promote get filtered.
