Corporate accounting is more steady. Fund accounting always has turnover and is a pretty miserable place to work.
Corporate - gives you more opportunities to work on different things. I can research new literature, work on acquisitions or divestitures, manage the yearly audit process, work with operational accounting, budgeting, month end/year end close, implement new ASC all within a short span of time depending what is going on with the company.
Fund accounting is soulless, mind-numbing work.
Senior associate 1, haven't really thought about it. Jus trying to decide on a good exit opportunity, but the recruiter keeps pushing funds.
If the fund accounting is with a PE firm and there are other areas of exposure, say analysis and month-end close etc., that would set you apart from your peers in future because it will get you PE accounting experience. (I’m a CPA, former audit manager at Grant Thorton, CFO and have been a recruiter for accounting professionals for the past 13 years)
If the fund position is with an investment company and you’re doing mutual funds and such… Go with the corporate accounting or stay put….Agree w other comments 😁
Neither
Corporate unless you are really interested in the funds.
Well corporate gives you many skills, funds make you really good at being an idiot.. but you could be the best idiot and get a high paying jobs at another fund shop.
Similar to why I don’t understand our seniors that only get experience in funds work… like brahhh you are selling yourself short.
Do you mean experience in fund audits only?
