Doing forecasts. It'll also give me a 15k pay bump. Is that too good to be true? What are the drawbacks of leaving big 4 for a position like this?

Smaller companies are at greater risk of having cash flow issues. Something to consider given that we’re long overdue for a recession.

During recession periods nothing is certain.

Doesn’t sound too good to be true at all...40 employees and you still aren’t heading the accounting/finance side of things. How many years do you have a pwc? I’m assuming 3+

About two years

Why would you do this? What is your ultimate goal? Does this step get you moving towards that goal or you are just thinking about it because ‘someone wants you’ and you happen to feel undervalued at this time in your career? Every move needs to make strategic sense. Not just because you are having a bad day. Think about their value proposition and if you think you will learn something to take you to the next level. It is not just about immediate pay raise but the whole situation and where it will land you

My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.
