I’m thinking about pivoting into Salesforce Consulting because I’m tired of being the person who closes the books. I want to be the person who builds the systems that close the books automatically. I have a strong background in ERP systems and I actually enjoy the technical side of things more than the GAAP side. Does anyone have experience making the jump from Accountant to Implementation Consultant? Is the pay bump as significant as the recruiters claim?

recruiters are definitely inflating the numbers a bit, but the real benefit is the fact that you’ll never have to do a bank rec at midnight on a Saturday ever again.

Additional Posts in Accounting Exit Opportunities

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice
