Anyone move from audit to CFO advisory /Fractional CFO? I like public but not sold on audit. Feel like CFO services would bring more value to clients and more fulfillment in my career.

What did you do post audit?

Transaction advisory thought I would suggest CFO advisory over TAS.

I think it has a lot better exits bc you’re getting into budgeting/accounting/finance etc.

CFO is way more than the accountant.

I did, from audit to accounting advisory. Most of my colleagues (if not all) have an audit background.

I went from traveling to client sites daily to fully remote. More fulfilling and more appreciation from the clients. Like A1 mentioned, no minimum hours busy season like in audit but you could be on a project with tight deadlines. The hours are generally more steady over the year.

7 year lawyer here. Been with the same big national firm all 7 years (not BigLaw) doing complex litigation. Been working remote a long time due to moving around for wife’s job. As a result of the moving was bumped off partner track. I’m looking at a great small firm that will be a practice change (but still litigation). I’m told they’re looking for someone with less experience and they’re skeptical because of my experience. It’s frustrating. How do I overcome this?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
