Your daily LinkedIn post idea, by The Content Lab

Question: What would your 10-year-younger self be shocked to learn about your current role?

Post Template:

Hook:
Ten years ago, I was working at Deloitte, buried in audit files and spreadsheets, trying to keep up

Tease:
At the time, I thought I had my future mapped out.

I would climb the ladder, earn my promotions, and eventually settle into a steady role as a controller or finance lead somewhere.

I kept my head down, stuck to the process, and told myself that stability was success.

But over time, I started noticing a gap.

I kept seeing startups struggle to get their financials in shape before raising.

The story they were telling investors rarely matched the numbers behind the scenes.

Value:
Eventually, I decided to do something about it.

I left Deloitte and started my own accounting firm.

Today, my team and I help early-stage companies prepare for investor scrutiny.

We clean up their books, tighten their reporting, and make sure they can walk into their pitch with confidence.

My 24-year-old self would have laughed at the idea of leaving Deloitte to help founders raise millions.

I cannot lie, the work is 10x harder, 10x messier, and exactly where I’m meant to be.

CTA:
How different is your career now from what you once pictured?
