Can anyone describe FDD? How does it differ from Deal Advisory/Valuation? I've heard it's a sexier version of auditing.

Can everyone elaborate? Lol

FDD is more about understanding financials than trying to prove they are right. Agree that audit background is best training. Valuation is different as the premise is to figure out what something is worth for financial reporting, tax or other reasons.

Have virtual interviews tomorrow and Friday (both with same company) - I know 150% if I got an offer, I would not accept. Had a ton of coaching meetings this week regarding a different offer I’ve been considering and I don’t want to leave my current place of work. Cancel tomorrow and Friday interviews or no cancel and potentially get an offer and decline?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
