I’m applying for accounting manager jobs that involve a lot of consolidations, foreign currency translation for financial statements but I have limited experience in that. I’m a little scared that I might not be able to adapt/learn. How would you guys learn about a concept that you’re not 100% familiar with at a new job assuming you’re expected to figure it out with 0 help since you’re a “manager level” person. Are there accounting coaches online or on YouTube that can help?

I'm a 20+ year veteran of consolidations and dealing with FX currency revaluation, translations and transactions. My first consolidations gig was moving from an analyst to consolidating a fortune 500 company with $1B in assets and revenues. I took about 10 pages of notes from the 2 people I replaced. Consolidations is a process, that's all. I'd be happy to spend an hour going over the basics with you.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting?

Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
