I recently passed the CPA exam and have been receiving numerous messages from recruiters with positions way above my current salary. I think I’m ready to leave public accounting, but I’m unsure of what my options are. What are some positions out of public still related to audit?

You really want to do audit still - like internal audit? Or are you really just asking what types of jobs auditors usually leave PA for? If the latter - general ledger accounting, financial reporting, internal audit, SOX compliance. Also there’s SEC reporting and technical accounting, but usually need to be a manager level to be more effective in those roles.

Your career is long - 30 more years perhaps. I’d stay and get the leadership experience of being a senior. And depending on your firm’s annual raise/promotion timing, perhaps a senior promotion raise is coming soon? Either way, good luck!

.....you wanna stay in audit?

Internal audit?

Talk to a recruiter. The ones I’ve worked with have all had careers in accounting. Also, what’s your ultimate goal? That could make a difference too. I went to corporate accounting at a bank after audit

Thank you!

5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer.

For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

There were several negotiations on the higher priced one. (Continued…)
