Anyone in FP&A hiring?
I’ve been with PwC almost for a year now in the valuations group and I don’t see myself doing this long term. 90% I’m helping Audit Teams understand valuations and 10% I’m doing PPAs. I always wanted to go into more a consulting role (ops/strategy role). I also like modeling, but the current modeling I’m doing is more accounting focused rather than finding business value from synergy creation. Ideally I’d like to stick with PwC but I’d switch too. Thoughts where I should apply too?
Any KPMG FDD associates willing to chat?

I’ll be making more than a 1st year audit partner this year and I’m a 1st year director. Idk if that helps at all.
Lower levels and at big 4 the comp is probably tighter
Slower year or bad luck with collections?

At PwC a M1 in Audit gets paid as much / near as much as a S1 in FDD.
Then there’s the A&Ms / Portage Points / FTIs of the world that pay people hand over fist.
So the answer is - kinda, not always, but there is no 26 year old Auditor in the US making 250K
PwC 2…yes

Audit practices have had to ramp starting comp significantly but they haven’t scaled the upper levels any where near FDD at least at my big4. As a long tenured SM I’m making $100k more than audit MDs
You guys are getting paid?
Mentor
Lol nope. Auditors are starting at 94k and fdd is starting at 90k out of school
Went from 105k to 140k switching from audit to FDD at same level (S2 to S2)
Define “much more”
No thanks
Base not really but bonuses yes. I’ve had bonuses up to 50% and never below 15%. I don’t think audit bonuses compare to that.
