What position should I apply to right out of college to become a controller? what job titles? really want to be a controller.

[hackit]

Thank you for giving a clear career plan for the thousands of us that have done our degrees and felt lost afterwards. Not many institutions give you career planning advice like you do. They sell you this dream that once you get your degree you on the way to the big four accountancy firms and this maybe be true for 10% of people but not all of us are so lucky. Brilliant work, thank you 😃

Im majoring in accounting but i wasn’t too sure on what job I wanted to have after I graduated. After watching this video now I know my path! I’m going to work to become a controller 😁

I just watched your channel about 1 week ago. This channel has given me a lot of insight. I just started my career as an auditor 1 year ago until now and to be honest, I almost gave up. But thanks to you I have changed my mind. I just realized that there are many interesting knowledge that I haven't know yet until now about audit and accounting. Great content!!
Looking forward for your next video Mr. Financial Controller !

[annieo.]

Love your channel. Please make a video on: 1.) Payroll accounting 2.) Interpretation of financial statements. Thanks Bill.

[foxkm]

Thank you for the advice. What job position would you suggest I take if I'm trying to head in the controller direction, an accounts payable role or a full charge bookkeeper role? I'm not straight out of college so time is a bit shorter for me. 😁

[evansjuma]

Hi Bill, this is a great 👍 encouragement and super.
Could you please expound more on the role of a corporate controller on internal controls, Financial modelling and business forecasting??

[loidforger]

Great video. You have really broke it down to the core. Love the content.

recommendation for YouTube video.
Maybe add some low sound copyright free background music.

[danielbilonic]

Thank you for these videos. I've been a senior accountant for almost four years and always wondered how to progress to controller. I fit all the checkmarks except for the public accounting experience.

Hey I am currently in school for B.S in Accounting. I noticed my school has this program and another program which is B.S in Accounting with emphasis on public accounting. Is my current program sufficient enough to lead down the road of sitting for my CPA??

[belkyhernandez]

I want to transition my career and be a CMA. Currently I review commercial real estate documents including the income, cash flow, balance sheet documents and projection in appraisal reports for the purposes of quality control. I don't make financial decisions. I only summarize information or work with the appraisers in revising or clarifying information for underwriting purposes.

I make a salary slightly above the population average. With the proper education, can I transition to this track without a severe cut in income? My education is in economics.

[heisenberg]

Thank you for the video. Would you say that as a corporate controller, you have a lot flexibility to switch to new or different industries even if most of your work experience was in one particular industry - say for example, real estate or tech or entertainment/media?

[faithbaloyi]

Thank you for sharing the interview questions!

[aneezasonisoni]

[marinabudgen]

Hi Bill, thanks for your videos, really helpful for appreciating the scope of the job.

Could you please make a video about how to manage an accounting team? I’ve got all the for becoming a Financial Controller. What’s holding me back is the lack or more likely a fear of managing a team of people. What would be the best role for a person who doesn’t want to manage others?

I like responsibilities of a Financial Controller and can do that comfortably and love putting together Financial and Performance reports but not sure I’d like to manage people.

What would be your advice?

Thanks!
