Not sure I can do another 20 years of month end close cycles over and over. Are there any viable options I can pivot into with my current experience? I'm located in SoCal. Remote preferred.

3 years audit experience - 1 year senior
2 years industry experience - manage a small team, month end, reconciliations, generate budgets, budget vs forecast analysis, review agreements, process payment to partners based on contractual agreements. Etc

If all goes well I'll retire early.

Maybe you’re interested in consulting/advisory? I have an audit background, but seems like those guys have more dynamic and sometimes interesting projects where you’re not doing the same thing every 30 days (industry) or 4-6 weeks (audit). I could be wrong, but if it peaks your interest talk to someone in that service line. There’s so many different types of consulting and advisory work out there

Could also try Financial Reporting. Still cyclical every quarter, but not tied down every single month. I left public for Financial Reporting about 9 months ago and have been very happy with it so far.

We have a financial management practice that is essentially providing consulting for industry finance teams for efficiencies, close management, policy documentation, process improvement etc. not really controller /cfo for hire but there is a little bit of that. Your audit /industry experience would be good for that. One of the partners is in LA here.

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
