It’s a tough move - typically FDD people run circles around MBB consultants in excel but lack the strategy frameworks and lexicons to lead a team. You should be prepared to take a step back in terms of experience to learn the A/C role. One place to explore are the turnaround teams. They are busy now and you know what a general ledger is.
