My sister started out on a path similar to yours. She went to Senior Financial Analyst then senior manager. Definitely get a CFA or CPA to really boost your resume and then gain any experience managing a team or developing strategies

like

Do you have your CPA? If not, I suggest that be your first step

I dont. I was thinking of getting ny CFA though

Controllers, financial reporting managers, or anybody with a more technical accounting background, in my experience, tend to advance quicker. There are fewer persons with that skill set than there are with FP&A, which draws both technical accounting and corporate finance professionals.

I’m frustrated as hell with my manager and my career advancement. What makes it worst is, she is a black woman as well.

But I have over 6 years of experience in finance, agile (non cert but that’s another story), accounting and team building. This experience was all gained without me having my bachelors in Finance and Accounting (I have it now). The rest in the comments…
