Hello everyone.
I'm Lisa. I'm relatively new to Fairy God Boss and brand new to this group. For the past several years, I've been working for a small family wholesale business, handling their invoicing, shipping, and credit memos. Now I feel it's time for a change. But I'm not sure of exactly what it is I'd like to be doing going forward. What I do know is that I want to work for a larger company, with smart, motivated hard working people, and where I can take my experiences to the next level. So I'm looking forward to interacting with other members here and learning from you guys. Thanks for accepting me into the group.

Welcome! Do you want to stay in finance in some way? Start working your contacts on LinkedIn and really work on your LI profile. Target companies that you admire and add contacts there. Also reach out to people in the positions in which you would like to have and ask for information meetings to talk about their roles. The trick is to get your name out there and start applying to the jobs. Good luck!

Hello Jennifer. Thank you for responding to my post. The thing is, my current company is a jewelry wholesale business. I've been there for about ten years. Other than that, I don't have what you would call finance or accounting experience. However, I wouldn't mind doing similar work in a bigger company. Thanks.

What you’re doing now, credit memos, invoicing, etc., that’s finance. If you are generating invoices, then that’s accounts receivable. I worked in accounts payable for a non-profit for about 3 years, and while I enjoyed it, my heart resides in Marketing, Communications and Creative Project Management.
If you like what you’re doing, then start looking at accounts receivable positions at larger companies. If you think you might want something different, then start exploring! You are never too old to figure out what you want to be when you grow up!
