Just started a new job in finance about a month ago and my new boss has passed a massively overwhelming project on to me and I don't think I can deliver on it. It isn't related to my educational background so I'm completely lost. I'm going to be working on it all weekend. I have no human resources available and this project is for people pretty high up in the company. What the fuck do I do? Worst case I could be fired, second worst case is I keep my job but it'll take a long time to rebuild their trust.

Tell them you can't handle it given the resources and time constraint. Honesty is important, they'll give you something you can do.

This.
Be smart about it, make a road map and list of to dos and also which parts are problematic.
a) You show him you did work on it and know what has to be done but honestly can tell that you don't know how
b) You still can support your successor

Thanks for the advice guys. What are the odds I'll get fired if I fuck this up? I live in Houston, TX so they can essentially fire me for whatever reason. I've never been fired from a job. This is ridiculous though.

Give us more details on the project

Basically I'm generating an analysis for property taxes on houses but no one that I have spoken to knows where the information is stored. That includes the company directors and my boss yet I'm supposed to find it.

There is more to it but that's the short version. The company is highly unorganized.
