Don’t have any specific companies but can tell you that it is definitely possible to pivot to FP&A. I have multiple friends who went from audit to FP&A so would say keep talking to diff recruiters until you find one who has opportunities for you.
Agreed. Leveraging your analysis skills easily gets you in the door. You just have to be able to present as someone in that role to illustrate you have what it takes.
Recruiters just want to slam senior accountants into senior accountant roles for the quick commission. Makes no sense for them to try and do legwork. You should source the job yourself. Much better odds crafting your story and hand applying. Most fp&a departments are full of CPAs so they are wrong btw. And fpa is not some prestigious area warranting this kind of worship. It’s just slightly more interesting to some people while headaches of a different sort come into play as well. Good luck
Tons of big 4 audit go to any back office F500 corp finance role. These recruiters just don’t have the job/relationship and want to push you into a role they are recruiting for.
Where else do you think finance departments are built from? It’s all college grads or big 4.
I have a friend that was an auditor at a top 10 firm who was hired by Amazon as a Senior Financial Analyst.
Walmart
They keep telling me to find which industry resonates with me the most
