VP of finance just gave me a talking to for messing up. After I took over the ex-controller's tax compliance work after he suddenly quit, in addition to my actual accounting work. And have been available 8-6 for tax questions. Still at 70k.

So now I'm thinking about chatting with the headhunter who contacted me last week bc it's 90k. But I'd feel bad leaving my boss to this mess?

Oh, my day to day boss is chill and I'd feel bad ruining his wedding. Like, I went over the arrangements in case there's a tax emergency on the PTO day I'm taking to cram for an exam/get car maintenance. The response was "it's a PTO day, you can use do not disturb".

But the chief bosses will most likely call on me on the day off. I already previously had to answer calls after saying I'm signing off for the day to go grocery shopping.

If you like your immediate boss then explain the situation. Phrase it that you see the opportunity with taking on the additional responsibilities; however, you should be compensated for it.

They aren't paying an entire controller's salary now, so there most certainly is room in the budget to pay you to do the controller's work.

Never feel bad about advancing your career. I wish someone would have told me this when I was younger. I wasted so much time and energy trying to help my boss because I had an emotional connection to her and it made me feel obligated to stay longer than I ever should have.

I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting?

Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
