How many of you Senior Managers were able to jump from PA directly into a Director of Financial Reporting positions in industry? Just curious. I have my eyes on a position but it is just a manager/senior manager level for now.

No need to sell yourself short with a manager role. If this were my team, I’d have no problems considering you for a Director role if you had 10 YOE. Depending on the role, external reporting may be an easier sell and transition. I would stay away from roles with heavy GL accounting initially, as you would not naturally have that skill.

Find a new recruiter. Don’t ever let one talk you into a role that doesn’t fit your career objectives. They need to find a role that fits you, not make you fit the role.
