Doesn't hurt to do a rotation and get some technical accounting reps if your long term goal is to position yourself as CFO

like

Would you say there’s ever a point where a rotation starts to become impractical?

If you want to do rotation, do as early in your career as possible. Maybe team dependent, but when s.o on my team do it, they are considered 1 foot out of the door already and if rotation does not work out, your way back is quite narrow, unless you do audit rotation when the market is slow haha in which case you help the overall team utilization.
