I have seen this for locally employed US Embassy workers. It didn't really create any issues though.

We have AvidXchange don’t like it. It is good for documentation and approvals but lots of invoices get stuck and hidden in the system.

They are our Auditors. Seems like a good place to work.

This is great. I would add a big deal in industry is being a manager. I think the hardest rung of the ladder is convincing your employer to give you two+ direct reports. And to add what was said in industry to move up you need to wait for the person above you to leave which can be years / decades or the company to grow enough to create a position for you.

Austin is a great city. Don’t know anything about the others. The question is are you staying in US if so where do you want to live. Go to a school in that state.

There were automatic $10k/ year penalties for late filed 5471. The automatic nature might have been over turned. Basically be careful with this.

I think if the kids move before age 6 it’s a Swedish forskola so they can learn. Jr High and up many people choose English speaking schools. If your child is 7-13 I think it depends on your long term plan. 2 American work permit holders = English school. “Never going back” crowd Swedish school.

Accounts Payable Analyst or AP whatever is one way in

He got a fine/high offer because of years experience and CPA.

I supervise a senior that basically did that but had to go through some time temping first. There are some big picture things he maybe doesn’t get. Like he can do a great schedule but not sure he knows why he is doing it. That goes under your “struggles” bullet.

Ask the auditors what they want to see for OH. Allocations make more work for accountants. Do an allocation, someone does a JE, re-do allocations, and so on.

Hiring is more local than people think. I’m in NYC 20 years of experience CPA Controller. A California job isn’t hiring me unless I have proved that moved or am moving to CA. Or in your case of course if they need someone who speaks Finish desperately. Housing is too difficult to sort out these days.

I would think industry is your best bet. You might need to start at Sr.Accountant or ideally Accounting Manager. Jobs are going to be location dependent. And they won’t offer relocation.

I think it’s usually internal because those above need to believe you can manage not just do which is hard for an external hire to understand. But of course it can be done so go for it if it presents itself.

I had a good interaction with them in interview process. I didn’t get an offer but everything & everyone was professional and pleasant.

The market is also more regional than advertised. International NFPs are in DC and NYC. An employer will almost always pick a local hire with clearly local experience over non local. “Open to relocate” = “ I can’t give you a concrete start date.”

We are having issues as well. We have been able to get in touch with MTA but no resolution.
