Anyone have any experience moving from wealth and asset management audit to FP&A? Thinking of leaving public accounting for a private role but not too sure of what's our there aside from "fund accountant". I'm wrapping up my senior 2 year and mainly have experience with private equity and hedge fund audits. Any feedback and suggestions is appreciated.

I moved from AWM audit to FP&A 2 yrs ago so it is possible. Think about how your skills are transferable to FP&A (tableau, powerbi, trend analysis, juggling client expectations etc). I find FP&A more meaningful than the mindless grind in PA. So glad that I got out of audit.
