Would you leave as a tax manager for a controller role at a smaller privately held company where you’d focus on internal controls, process improvement, and ad-hoc work? I haven’t gotten my raise yet at my firm but compared to my current comp it’s about a 20% increase. I also know the CFO. They claim it’ll set me up to get out of tax and also for future roles.

I think if you want out of tax, it makes sense

It may be a rare opportunity to leave tax entirely at the manager level. Although it sounds like you'd be doing an internal audit type role? Also consider how messy a small company like that will be.

Based on that, it sounds like it could be a good chance to do a lot of different roles and have a big impact on a small company. Then later you can decide on the path you want to go down (FP&A is pretty sweet, although I'm obviously biased). A jump to a bigger company later is definitely possible; I would sell them on your experience doing a variety of things across the business.

Definitely ask every necessary question before you take an offer. And if it turns out you want out soon after starting, your firm (or even another firm) will gladly take you back if you don't burn bridges. Probably for more money too if you leverage your new salary lol.

My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
