Meeting today to get a raise, and discuss the year I’ve had. I need opinions on salary. I make 90k as controller of the family office. I’m a CPA, worked for this company for 4 years now, have a BBA finance and MSA accounting. This is my first job out of college. I do GL acctg for about 20 smaller entities, 2 private equity co’s, qtrly referenced financials, monthly performance reports, cut checks, etc. I’m the only person working for the family office. I had recruiters tell me I’m worth $130k

130K+ sounds right.

like

Agree with others that it sounds low. It’s unlikely that they are going to give you over a 40% increase though so I’d have a bottom line number in mind. It’s always best to have a counteroffer in hand cause that’s really the best leverage for negotiating salary unfortunately.

like

As the person with the most knowledge of the finances, can they afford 130k? What would a 40k bump be to them? Maybe they can and awesome. If not, maybe the best conversation is you discussing a transition plan with them to help them find someone who fits what they can afford.

Then you tell them that and if they don’t…time to find a new place where you get paid what you are worth!

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
