Accountant to Finance
Consider that an accountant in a boutique tax practice can clear a sizeable annual comp, forever (conditional on staying, tortoise, not the hare)
- American
- Skipped Recruiting, barely attended classes, skated by
- Passed the CPA exam
- Tax exp for HNWIs
Summary :
If I just stay put and do nothing, I'm set for a nice life.
Feel as if it's too easy, like I'm in the wilderness of vapid Los Angeles wealth, a knight sheathed in armor, buried in a mine, with gold accumulating, and just, no pulse.
Should I escape, reset with the MBA, and attempt to join forces with like-minded Finance heads that genuinely enjoy the scholarly endeavors of Investing (the hare, not the tortoise) ?
Or, point blank, there's no shot in Hell, just smoke the cigars I have, and accept it is fate.
Insight genuinely requested, thanks for your magnanimity ahead of time.
I can't see any plausible reason to sacrifice a potential $1M annual income + opportunity cost of the MBA + cost of the MBA + pay cut for the next 5 - 10 years just to accelerate your pulse.
If you really want to do something related to finance, pass the CFA and offer financial advisory services beside your tax services.
You are definitely a candidate for an MBA. Absolutely consider that path.
And don’t assume that you’re going to be clearing a million in total comp until you actually do. Not everyone will end up as a partner. Also, as someone who worked in tax for the most part I always found HNW tax and tax in general to not be intellectually stimulating enough but for some it is so just depends on you.
