Many people have non-traditional paths, I know it makes you feel behind, but it might be a great thing. Maybe look at assistant controller, cost accountant, operations analyst. Try to find a role that might fill technical gaps you have and build on what you do already know.
That sounds frustrating, especially after investing years into the company! The good news is, five years in construction accounting carries weight. Even if your technical accounting isn’t textbook-sharp, your controller-level exposure can be valuable to startups, small businesses, or companies in need of someone who can run the show.
Five years of practical experience at a business that size is a solid credential. Stands to reason you could bring your skills and experience to another company in a similar or perhaps even more elevated, role. Maybe start looking at other construction companies and broaden your search from there.
