Thinking seriously about going the fractional route like CFO-for-hire, accounting consultant, ops fixer. I’ve got 10+ years of experience and a decent network, and honestly, I’m tired of building someone else’s house. But the leap feels risky. I don’t know where to start: do I just update my LinkedIn and hope people bite? Anyone here leave traditional accounting and actually build a successful solo career? What made the difference when you launched?

Looking to relocate from VA to Houston, any recommendations on apartments?

What are some good commuter towns outside the city for first time property buyers? Ideally commute by rail.

it’s disgusting to see in this city how people pay more attention to the dogs homeless people have than the people themselves - it’s dehumanizing and makes me sick when people give a strained smile to the homeless person while patting their pup like come on

What’s a strong offer for Business Development Manager / Director? Also, wondering what exit opps look like? Anyone go to Apple Payments or Stripe?

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls. I felt the pressure to make something up but I just can’t. I’ve been struggling with depression, loneliness, anxiety with immigration and the fact that I might be out of work soon cuz my visa is expiring. I’m thousands of miles away from my family and I just want everything to stop. But when my manager kept asking in front of everyone am I

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India. But HR in KPMG told me that I won't be able to join KPMG India in future as I accepted their offer. I informed her within 2 weeks and didn't do anything for onboarding. I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify

What level and service line were you at the big 4, and what percent salary increase did you get once you left? I’m a S1>S2, and the offers I’m seeing are around 10%-15% higher, which feels a little low. But maybe I’m being unrealistic.

Had an interview yesterday and the interviewer wanted to understand what I did - even 1 month gap between jobs - from 2009 to present 🤪 Not interested in the job anymore tbh

I've decided to leave public for an Accounting Manager position in private. What are the different types of companies to consider and the pros/cons? What are the best ways to get the position?

What is private equity accounting like? I have seen people exit to PE accounting and job postings but don't work in financial services. I would imagine the pay is pretty solid but not too sure what the work and how the experience is viewee

Anyone had good multiple offers and had one the hiring managers pressure you into taking the offer after asking for additional time to think about it?

Best SF based tech/tech infrastructure firm to work for as an accountant?

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...

How hard is it to get into an investment bank for risk? Doing market risk related work (FRM)? And what kind of salary would you be looking at from entry to associate (senior) level ?
