If I’ve got 10 years experience as a staff accountant (5 as a senior), with an MBA, does anyone have a decent plan for me to cross into tech remote? Accounting seems to plateau at $100K and there are very few remote opportunities. Any advice on how I could cross over without going back to school?

You should look into public accounting roles, they help growth a lot. Hours suck though

Could something like that be remote?

Accounting does not plateau at 100k

FYI I have never done public or statutory accounting. But I've done everything else

Public accounting has a high % of remote roles today. With 10 YOE, you could more easily enter at manager with ~10% increase in salary
