I’m a CPA, working at a public company as a tax director, but really hope I can break out of the corporate world at some point and start my own small business. Just don’t know what I want to do!

Look up Roland Fraiser, Alex & Leila Hormozi. You might get some ideas from them! They all manage a ton of businesses.

A friends mom recently quit her job as a CPA controller and is now close to hitting half a mill in under a year… good luck! For privacy reasons I won’t disclose her business but maybe look into franchising

I’m a tax senior accountant but spent a few years as a manager at a small CPA firm that does outsourced accounting services. Enough to know how to run a small firm. We could partner together and create a solid virtual CPA firm. I know enough about tax to get by but with the help of a tax director the firm would thrive. DM me.

To clarify, I don’t think I’d want it to be related to me being a CPA

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.
