You know what's funny? People say there is no more opportunity to become a Controller...waiting for people to retire, get fired or quit. Do you know there were over 15 new Business Managers last year and about that many the year before? Name me 3 companies in the United States today that you can start your career as a Staff Accountant and have over 150 Controller opportunities in front of you. Remember that every group AND region has a Business Manager or Controller. If you're in a group with say 4 regions, Car Sales, Truck Rental, Fleet Services you have probably 6 or 7 Business Manager positions just in your group alone. That position could pay 150K+....

Of course not every person is going to make it...where does that happen? Why would I, as a Controller, want an accountant...or any employee for that matter....who didn't want to work hard enough to get themselves promoted?

So there is the challenge....just give me 3 other companies with that much or more opportunity in the Accounting field.
