I am having trouble identifying what exactly I want to do in my new role. I want to gain experience with preparing financial statements, participate in booking journal entries (high-level not a full time bookkeeping), months closing, reconciliation. I also want to make use of my CPA. Meaning I would like a role where it is needed and my compensation would be reflecting that. The employer will have a value in it for either future role I could be progressing within my new role or other reasons (can not think of any right now).

I am applying to staff/senior accountants’ roles not in public for now. Are there other roles I should be exploring. Specifically, I need titles I should be searching for.

Anything wrong from others’ prospective with this career path?

TIA!
