So something happened. I don't know what, but all of a sudden the owners and executives are willing to spend money on fixing the accounting.
We've brought in some consultants. The top tier fellow pretty much suggested the company would be better off setting a fire and collecting the insurance payout. It's obvious to them that no one's cared about the accounting (or accountants) until now.
Thankfully they don't blame me for the mess this place is in. There's a plan now, and some help for me, so I'm not feeling as paralyzed as I was a week ago.
That said, I'm still trying to get the F* out. These consultants said I need to get the F* out, knowing full well with the CFO having quit, if the owners and executives decide to throw someone under the bus for the mess the books are in, I'm the obvious scapegoat.
I haven't heard back from either of my interviews from a few weeks ago but just got an email about an internal auditing position with a large, established company. I'm hoping that one works out. I don't even mind staying for the duration of getting a closing process done, but I don't trust this place at all. They get the books closed, get a better accounting system, and will likely go right back to neglecting GAAP. And I want no part of it.
