I am currently a controller but wondering about getting a few years experience as a controller and moving to a consultant role. Are there companies who do more of a general accounting consulting?

My background is Tax (business, individual, international), financial reporting in an industry setting and manufacturing controller.

A few years out from this but wondering if this is a feasible goal and/or a market for this.

General thoughts, companies, general thoughts all appreciated!

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out. It’s truly impossible to focus on one task because things are constantly being thrown my way. I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?

Tax folks out there, do you regret starting out in tax? Not sure if I like the idea of reviewing forms for the rest of my career. Does it get better after manager? Anyone switched and not looked back?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
