Thoughts on FP&A? I’m currently a senior tax accountant and got asked to the last round of interviews for a senior FP&A position (narrowed down to 2 people). I feel like I’ll get it as I have friends at this company in accounting who put in recommendations for me. Only thing holding me back is I made manager this week and overall like the flexibility of PA, hate busy season though.

Can someone explain what this flexibility means lol

I’m not B4. I work 70ish hours a week during busy season, then 40ish the rest of the year.

How did you get that far without knowing or having FP&A experience?

What skills did you sell and how did you go about it? Any chance I can connect with you?

Flexibility sounds nice, but hours worked and stress incurred are the way more important factors, IMO. Take the offer of the $ is right.

I feel that way as I get older. I think differently now 28 than I did at 25. Especially since I’m single and my job impacts my ability to meet people. I don’t know a ton about FP&A though. I need a carrot for motivation and partners balling is what gets me going. Awful, but that’s how I think.
