I moved from being client facing for 12 years to running an accounting department about 9 months ago. I was use to flying under the radar for the most part in my old role and now feel like I’m always in the spotlight on various subject matters, then have to give presentations in front of stakeholders. I’m outgoing but it’s really uncomfortable and overwhelming for me. Oddly enough client meetings never worried me like this. Is this typical and it just gets easier with time? Any tips?

Practice makes perfect.

Some people have good presentation skills. It is something you need to work on but I always admired anyone who has good presentation skills. Most can be very successful.

Estimated tax payment question:
I converted $30k of rollover 401k into a Roth IRA and have $26k of realized ST Capital Gains this year (Roth conversion in end of Q1 and most capital gains in Q2).
My total federal withholding tax last year was approximately $12k and this year I will have 40% more in reported income on my employer W2 and anticipate higher that $12k federal withholding for my new job. Given this, what is the best way to go about making est. tax payments for the income (continued.)

I always bill 100% of my time and for my entire career in public accounting I have never heard anything negative until recently.. I was told to watch my time as the client doesn’t like to pay these fees, and the partner is unhappy because it looks like I have high hours. Is the message that I should eat my time? Or is it that They think I’m inefficient?
