After spending about three years, I feel like I’m not an accounting expert and don’t enjoy talking accounting during Management calls. I’m not really sure where to pivot next.

Corp dev and fp&a sound like common exit but I have no idea what their daily routine looks like. Anyone wanna share why I should pick one career over the other? Work life balance and pay?

You expected to be an expert after three years?

Not an expert but i dont think im growing and feel like i cant grasp complex topics

Corp dev has a ton of overlap with FDD, specifically talking accounting on management meetings.

FP&A is broad & can look very different across companies. Some of the roles are mislabeled controller positions involving stuff like leading the month-end close.

A true FP&A job seems like what you’re after, just read the job description thoroughly.

Corp Dev may pay more, however.

smart

Agee with all the above. All FP&A roles are different so really look into each of them. That’s what I’m doing too.

To be fair, no one enjoys mgmt calls

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

I’ve been with PwC almost for a year now in the valuations group and I don’t see myself doing this long term. 90% I’m helping Audit Teams understand valuations and 10% I’m doing PPAs. I always wanted to go into more a consulting role (ops/strategy role). I also like modeling, but the current modeling I’m doing is more accounting focused rather than finding business value from synergy creation. Ideally I’d like to stick with PwC but I’d switch too. Thoughts where I should apply too?
