[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I resigned yesterday, simply saying that the job wasn't a good fit and since I'd been there such a brief time I thought it was best not to delay the decision so that they could move on. To the poster who read between the lines and saw some interest in fixing the problem, you were right. I enjoy the challenge of solving problems and fixing messes. But only in an environment where there is transparency with senior management - meaning, they understand the problems and want them fixed. In this case, several of the significant problems have been allowed to exist by the equity partners who don't want a hit to their capital accounts to fix the mess on the balance sheet. And, I have learned that my boss has a very close personal relationship with one of the equity partners (who happened to bring him in for the job.) So, no opportunity to go there and suggest I could fix things. And, to another poster, yes, I am in my early 50s so while that may be an issue finding my next job, I am willing to take that risk. I think if I had stayed, this house of cards would have ultimately fallen down and I would have been the finance/accounting person standing there when it did. Thanks again. I am relieved and a bit scared, but confident it was the right choice.
