Have you ever managed people before? How big will your team be? Manager can mean lots of different things at different companies

You could be but you could also surprise yourself. You obviously surprised someone else and convinced them you’re ready for that role.

At 3 years of experience stepping into a manager role something that you’re going to have to figure out, and relatively quickly I might add, is how to rely on your staff since your time is going to be spent doing a lot less accounting and more admin work. You aren’t successful if they aren’t successful so communicate upfront with them.

I think you can do it. I have 2 years, currently manage 3 people, and I like admin work way more than I do actual accounting.
