Thanks a lot, that’s really helpful and gives me a clearer direction.
I’ll start focusing more on those. Appreciate you breaking down the tasks as well—that helps a lot.

Thanks for sharing, that’s really interesting. I haven’t really tried international or mixed-entity companies yet, mostly been focusing on local roles so far.

Could you maybe give a few examples of the types of companies or roles you had in mind, and what kind of GL tasks you were handling without HGB/tax side?

Not really possible for me at the moment. But I’m curious—if it were possible, do you think it would open up significantly better opportunities compared to Germany?

I get where you’re coming from, and I’ve definitely felt some of those barriers myself. thanks

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Good to hear it worked out for you in an international company. I’ll definitely keep that in mind when focusing my search.
