Accounting Exit Opportunities
works at Seiler LLP

I’m a manager in tax and exit ops seem non existent. 9 out of 10 recruiters that reach out to me are contacting me regarding another public accounting firm. But I think I’m getting burnt out from public accounting…

    I think public accounting is more in demand. Also, don’t use recruiters. You can find the same jobs on ur own.

    I’m talking to a couple really great recruiters right now and they’re helping me find jobs outside PA! There definitely are ops out there

    Yes they are out there, but I recommend searching on your own without recruiters. They are out there though

Offer A is a Senior FP&A Analyst at a Fortune 100 consumer goods brand: $110k base, 10% bonus, good resume brand, but a hybrid 3-day office model and a highly competitive up or out corporate culture. Offer B is a Senior General Accountant at a boring, regional utility company: $105k base, a true federal-style pension, 100% remote, and a team where the median tenure is 14 years. I’m 29, single, and want a career. Which path sets up a better long-term trajectory?

At what point do you draw the line and withdraw your application from a process that demands a massive take-home project? I was asked to complete a take-home case study involving a full 3-year financial model and variance analysis for a Senior Analyst interview. I have five years of experience and my technical competency shouldn't require twelve hours of unpaid homework.

Manager

I’m about to decline an offer solely because they refused to put their flexible work-from-home policy in writing in the actual offer letter. During the interviews, the hiring manager promised me that everyone works from home on Mondays and Fridays, but HR refused to add that amendment to the employment contract, stating it's a discretionary policy. To me, if it isn't signed in ink on the contract, it can be deleted by a corporate memo on my second week of employment. Am I being entirely too paranoid?

A boutique headhunter told me that listing my CPA exam sections passed (3/4) makes me look like a flight risk to mid-sized industry firms. Her logic was that the second I get those final three letters, I'll demand a massive raise or jump to a Fortune 500 that pays a true CPA premium. I thought showing progress proved my work ethic, but now I'm wondering if I should just hide it until I'm fully licensed. How do/did you all hanle that?

I had an interview where the VP of Finance asked me how I handle ambiguity and frequent shifts in strategic direction. I’ve learned the hard way that this is standard corporate gaslighting for being awful. As an accountant who thrives on structure, clean reconciliations, and strict compliance, this sent a massive alarm bell through my head. Is it possible to find actual, predictable stability in a mid-market tech firm, or is constant chaos just standard across the board now?
