Currently in FMCG internal audit (ex-Big 4 audit + tax (4 year)). The role gives great exposure across factories and corporate offices, and I’ve started leading portions of audits. Long term, I’m looking to pivot into FP&A, corporate strategy, or maybe even M&A.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s made a successful transition into these areas. What worked for you, and what would you do differently?

Open to any advice

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up).

I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
