Why not just go straight to FP&A? You already have PA on your resume. You should be able to land an interview fairly easily, especially at your level. Just do some research on the company and on the position and be able to speak competently about it.

P.S. You could have gone straight into FP&A out of school. There is no reason to do audit so that it will "propel" you into FP&A.

Is it possible that the recruiters only have certain jobs to fill (on which they make a commission for placing people)? And if any candidate asks about a particular position for which the recruiter has no jobs to fill, might they have an incentive to steer that candidate away from such a position towards a job they need to place?

Best option is to get experience in financial or operational due diligence before exiting to FP&A. You’ll come it at a higher level if you wait another 1-3 years plus actually have an idea of what to do since tax or audit will probably not provide much for the required skill set you’ll need in FP&A.
