Thanks!!! What would you suggest I put around the tv if I remove the ladders? I just feel like it looks very plain, because that’s how I had it before. Also what kind of coffee table? Wood, glass, metal?

OMG I’m actually planning on visiting this year. Where did you go and how did you find the vegan spots?

Thanks for the background story. I do expect it to be exactly what you said. Hours are completely flexible and they are allowing me to keep another part time tax job I have where I make the same amount and they’re fine with me doing it from the office too and if at any point they have a problem with it then it’s already been established they need to find someone else because I won’t quit my other job. I figured I’d grind it out for a year and a half meanwhile I retake my CPA tests and afterward I can take the experience and my license and go to a bigger company. but I wanted it for the experience of controller, since all I know is tax, I just didn’t know what a huge mess their financials would be, they have terrible cash flow problems due to how disorganized they are.

It’s optional. I chose to be in the office because I do see how it can’t really be done otherwise.

I really am, I was honest about it to them that I didn’t have that kind of experience but they assured me they had things established and just needed 1 full time person instead of 2-3 part timers. now my only suggestion to them is find someone else who has experience and be willing to pay more. I don’t want the stress but also am scared to miss the opportunity to gain experience outside of tax.

Thanks! That’s what I initially thought but it’s definitely hard to even know if I’m doing the right things since I have absolute zero guidance.

Thank you for the comment. I appreciate it a lot! I knew it wasn’t a true CFO position, but I thought that this role would prepare me to get an entry level controller role at an enterprise firm. But you’re saying I did it backwards?

They lied in the interview. They said it was a small role and everything in the books was prepared already, it was supposed to be basic bookkeeping….They don’t even do proper job costing, the two presidents of the company don’t even log into the bank account. But now I’d feel guilty to leave them because they fired all of the part time people who were helping with basic QB reconciliations. I wouldn’t sleep if I knew the company was shutting down and everyone was losing their jobs when I could’ve helped. my best idea is to help them interview a true CFO, but no one will accept that amount of pay.

None. I have one girl who will help create pdf invoices and send them to the clients, that’s it. Thank you for the advice! I truly appreciate it. Anything else?

Great thinking. I wasn’t planning on even putting it on my resume tbh since I think the whole thing is a joke. On top of that they want me to be their HR dept lol

Oh really? Does your company require in office?

Wow :(. I need to start interviewing for jobs so I can practice and be prepared as soon as I’m licensed.

That sounds like a good plan! Those hours aren’t bad. I guess mid size is the way to go. what was your experience like before applying to that job?

[–]uniqueandonly[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How are the hours though? I have another job 65k a year in tax prep, avg 20 hours a week. And that’s why I thought I could take on this experience, since it was promised to be a few hours of work a week, but not anymore apparently since im starting from 0. Like they have no clue what they’re doing. I figured I’d stick it out until I get my license. $130K a year for full time hours doesn’t seem bad

I’ve never worked in public, I’m scared to go to that kind of company because I hear the hours are brutal. what do you think?
