Hi, I'm 40+ years old, CIMA qualified, with a warrant for practicing accountant (+ACCA-recognised qualification).  Been 7 years working as management accountant (costings,budgets,regulatory reports) in a co with little room to move career-wise.

Now I have an opportunity for a financial controller in a retail business, small team but fairly large turnover, SAP system being used.  It may be risky but I feel that if I let more time pass and stick to my position, it will only be harder to make a move later in life.  I may also become less marketable.
