Big 4 manager considering job offer of NFP controller (not a large NFP by any means.) Good move or bad move if I don’t want to be in the NFP sector for very long since usually low pay?

That’s not true. I have CFO’s at my larger clients making mid $200’s. Today working at a NFP will give you a greater sense of purpose. I made the move myself but came back to public because I missed the excitement. Sounds like a very good move. DM me if I can help

And.....be honest, you missed the $$$!!!

When I audited NFP clients, some larger ones have controllers making more than200k, but they are all old and served more than decades. And they are very hands on

Does controller also deal with taxes?

The way I look at it is ‘would I regret not doing it at all when I’m x years old. What could/would be different between now and then?’ Public accounting will always be hiring so that is always something I can fall back on or just find another position at a different place. Honestly, nothing is as “exciting” as PA because of the grind. If, it is exciting or like a fire drill then something must be going wrong.

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
