I am deep into the interview process for a controller job. It is for a small PE owned manufacturing company. I will be responsible for helping through multiple acquisitions, ERP system implementation, revamp of internal control structure, etc. I am a first year senior manager and have helped clients through all of the above but it’s a bit daunting thinking about being on other side and creating everything myself from scratch. Anyone else experience this anxiety when making jump to industry?

You can’t grow if you don’t make yourself a little uncomfortable. I am sure when you first started in public you were overwhelmed at the thought of doing things, but you survived.

I’d say people expect you to know how to get the answer not have the answer. Like if you have a good CFO, they will understand you will need to research or reach out to people to get the answer

No insight, just saying I’m in the exact same boat! Deep in the process for a controller job and it scares me to think I’ll do things from scratch... like recording stock comp for example (now I can recalculate it and see that it looks right but I blank out when I think of how I’d do it from scratch). Also a bunch of tax pieces... and the industry is something I haven’t seen in a couple years

Any insight or thoughts on making the transition would be great! Thanks!

Hi I was an audit manager and moved to the industry as a controller. Feel free to DM me

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.
