I have 13 yrs of experience in financial accounting within a private company, where I currently hold the position of Sr. Staff Accountant. I'm exploring new opportunities and have been interviewing with a nonprofit consulting firm of around 50 employees for a Sr. Accountant role. The position would involve assisting 3-5 clients.

I would appreciate insights from those with experience in consulting as an accountant. Do you think this would be a good shift? What are your experiences?

I work with larger non-profit clients and they can be messy. I can’t even imagine the accounting messes that come out of NFPs hiring a 50 head consulting firm. Sounds like a lot of work. Can you apply to manager jobs at other companies after 13 years?

Damn yeah f them. Wishing you so much luck on your job search. It’s rough out there right now, but I hope you can get out of there asap

We are looking to hire a FTE for systems integration. We are using Mulesoft as an IPAAS. I’m part of the hiring team.

If you are good enough, I will even cover for you to coordinate with your primary job. DM me if you are interested as I’m tired of the crappy recruiting company we are contracted with.
