Are there any careers in accounting that have a flexible schedule? I’m taking care of older parents and need a flexible schedule where I can attend to their needs throughout the day or drive them to doc appts. Switched from external audit in B4 to IA in industry (F500), both wfh… but i am still stuck in meetings all day and expected to be online when the team is. Are accountant roles or financial analyst roles in private companies any better?

Oddly, your best shot would probably be B4, and do a reduced schedule

I think pretty much all accounting or finance jobs will expect you go be available during regular business hours

I would look into EBP audit or BizOp roles. Or you can get lucky and find a firm that’s pretty flexible with when you work

Are the appointments every day or a couple times a week? I work for a smaller firm (60ish) and they will generally work with you if you’re professional and get your work done.

I agree with the above. Since there is a talent shortage in public, it may be your best option.

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.
