Accounting role where you work alone? Are there any of these that aren't simple AP or AR jobs and pay $160k+? I love being left alone to work independently without others, but seems almost all accounting roles involve having to work with others, work on teams, manage others, etc. I want to leave FAAS but can't seem to find any other job that interests me without having to take a pay cut..

There are very few jobs you don’t need to coordinate with others that pay well, usually the person who doesn’t have to coordinate isn’t that important

Actually can’t really think of any

I don't think a role like this exists in accounting. You don't really start making money in the business until you are either client facing or are a force multiplier.

What job could you do in isolation that a firm could bill $500K for?

Ya, none lol

Maybe go learn CS

Right there with you OP.

Starting to feel like golden handcuffs 😭
