Boyfriend works for Deloitte and is looking to switch from audit (it sucks) into industry (maybe finance, real estate or compliance? Unsure) He has his CPA. Would advisory be a logical first step?

In my experience it'll be easier for him to switch into advisory or consulting at another firm rather than internally

And would switching internally in Deloitte be easier or harder than moving to another firm?? Any advice would amazing!!

My CPA friends who went through or stayed in advisory really liked the different perspectives in the business they got. If the goal is to stay in finance /accounting I am not sure though because I am a fan of just doing the role you want without creating extra steps for yourself.

Thank you! He definitely wants to move out of audit/accounting. He's just not sure how easy it is to move into a outside role in another field directly from audit. Also any advice on when the best time is to make the move? He has about a year until manager. I've heard you can get siloed into accounting if you stay that long.

A common move I've seen within the firm is from audit to our Accounting & Reporting Transformation practice within Advisory. I would suggest that he look into that practice if that appeals to him

Great tip Deloitte 1!! Thank you!

@PWC1 he also wants to change locations (NJ to NYC) so I think that's probably true. Thank you!!
