Currently looking to leave audit for a Senior Financial Analyst or FP&A position in the media/entertainment/music industry. I’ve always thought it’d be cool to work a company in one of those industries. Has anyone made this transition from audit and can offer some insight on what the job is like on a day to day basis?

Yes I know someone who did this. He works for some music agency and acts as like a liaison between the agents (operations) and finance groups. He loves his job. I’m pretty sure he spent years literally going to concerts and talking to people who represented acts to network to get that job though.

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting.

I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.
