I have worked in PA, specifically in tax exempt organizations for the last five years. It’s all I know. But I’ve decided I can’t stand PA. It’s sucking the life from me. I don’t mind busy season, it’s all the time tracking and chargeable crap. Just let me do my job! I love working with exempt organizations, but there are very few orgs that need an in-house tax person. Anyone have any ideas of how I can use my experience to get the hell out of PA but still pay my bills?

There are a few big four and midsize accounting firms building out their tax-exempt practices and are looking for folks with focused exempt organization experience in an accounting firm, organization, and/or law firm. A simple 'Tax-exempt jobs' google search should bring up a few positions. Best of luck.

Thanks, but I don’t want to work for ANY public accounting firm. I want to work in industry, and those jobs are few and far between for my skill set.

If you make it to senior manager at big four can you leave and become partner or director at mid size firm? Is this hard to do? I know there is a lot of politics at big four and have no interest staying in a senior manager role for 6-8 years and risk a chance of still not becoming partner. Also I got a long way to go before senior manager fyi.
