Been working in industry all my career (both large corp and start-up). Recently got mt CPA. Pretty close minded about audit already (i never liked the idea of it nor do i have actual experience anyway).

What are good opportunities over at big4? I like doing technical accounting and doing projects/consulting related to internal controls/processes, financial reporting, managerial accounting etc. Basically dont like audit and tax 🤣 and what does compensation look like?

I’d look into Accounting Advisory Services (AAS). You may have a hard time entering now as an inexperienced hire, but worth a shot. Maybe you can spin your industry experience to have them bring you on as experienced.

Got it! Thanks for the insight!

TAAG is the technical accounting group at EY. They’re a great group of people with interesting engagements. It’s fast paced with a steep learning curve but it’s guaranteed you will learn a lot and learn it quickly. I just left TAAG a few months ago to exit to consulting but I highly recommend it. As a staff associate with no CPA, I made $74k in a T3 city.

Alternatively, FAAS is the financial accounting advisory group at EY. It’s less technical than TAAG but they’re usually engaged before TAAG is. They send their more complex transactions/issues/questions to TAAG.
