Anyone in audit ever transition into tax(specifically financial planning/tax returns)?
I’m about to start audit at a B4 in San Francisco, but honestly feel like I won’t enjoy my job.
However, I love financial planning because I’ll be helping people achieve financial freedom. With financial planning, I see the importance of tax planning so I was wondering if anyone made this switch? If so, how did u do it

I’d love to be a tax cpa to help people save on taxes while helping them plan their future.

In several markets EY is inviting audit staff 1s & 2s to do rotations in tax this summer, and it sounds like something similar will be offered to tax staff during audit busy season in February. Most firms have opportunities for internal transfers, many of the folks in my start class have switched to different specialties over the years (transaction due diligence, transfer pricing, retirement plan audits)
