I am making ~280k now with a controller type job. I have 10 year of experience and generally considered good at my job. wanted to work less. Ideally just 20hours with the ability to WFH. Ok with making 100k or less as long as it offers benefit. What are some options?

Can you hire enough people under you to do the job, so you end up working 20ish hours without changing the job or the pay?

Maybe check your local universities? Someone with your level of experience might be able to come in pretty high on the finance side of things and everything moves glacially slow in academia, so even if it’s a full FTE, it will feel like less. Many universities also have .75 FTE type of positions, usually great benefits.

Damn that’s a pretty high salary for a controller, no?

Idk if you’re gonna get benefits at 20hours a week from any company.

You could go be an accounting manager anywhere with that much experience though if you’re will to work ~32-40

I am in HCOL area and also somewhat high demanding industry so it may be higher than general. Honestly I can accept less than 50k + benefits but fewer hours are the key. Maybe I will start with my current firm

1. AWA with your current role. Make sure to keep over 50% hours to keep your benefits. Your salary will be proportional to
2. Short term solution I’ve seen a case where you can negotiate with your current employer to become an “advisor”. You are basically training your replacement.

Good luck
