Expect to be expected to be available anytime anywhere. Extremely tight deadlines, work with some of the more intelligent minds, and a hatred for your life going forward
In general, I have found FDD to be so much more flexible than audit. Yes, there can be tight deadlines that are stressful and require some late nights and weekends, but when those happen I can generally work from home, which I find so much better than being required to be at the office with the audit team for those 70 hours you’re working. Also, when you have downtime, which does sometime happen, you can just leave! Partners are generally happy to give some of that flexible time knowing that when deals do hit fast and hard, you’re going to work a lot
Expect to be on call nights and weekends
Ha. TS is about as opposite from “work life balance” as you can get
I use plenty of the accounting knowledge I learned in audit - I just don’t use audit methodologies anymore. Also, I’m at a mid tier firm and, for me, it isn’t at all a “must be on call every night and weekend”. We usually know deals a few weeks out and leadership tries to make sure they plan around everyone’s schedules (obviously you can’t 100% of the time but I’ve found if your flexible, they are too). Yes, I do work long hours, but not nearly as often as I did in audit. Maybe a week or 2 at a time at MOST. My balance in life is much better because leadership knows we can work long hours with little notice. So when I leave at 5:30 to go for a workout, leadership either says “cool, see yah tmr” or “have fun, can you do this thing when you get back really quick?”.
As far as day to day, you are still doing analysis. You are looking at fluxes and trending. But you are also understand how a business runs and if current earnings and trends reflect what someone could expect in the future. A lot of excel, A LOT of report writing, moderate client facing
Did you return as a senior 1? Just curious if I could negotiate being a senior 2/3
You’ll definitely apply your “questioning of client data” skills from audit in FDD. You are trying to gain an understanding of the business to see what can/can’t be adjusted and negotiated in a transaction. Also clients send messy data and make lots of mistakes... I can’t tell you how many times I’ve received a new trial balance because I found a mistake and told the target The work is pretty interesting though and fast paced so you never feel stuck on a project because it will be over in a few weeks.
I always enjoy sell sides because the clients are much nicer and more willing to give data. Sometimes it’s hilarious the stuff they upload for you and think will be relevant haha
I don’t think you use much day to day from audit, other than general business knowledge (how to use a Excel, how to read schedules, etc). Just come with a good attitude and be ready to learn. I switched over after my senior 1 busy season and it was like starting over as an intern!
I work in TD. I’d say there’s a lot of overlap in analytical skills, but I’d say you’ll need to get used to being in the details more. A manager in audit is reviewing everything already, whereas a manager in TD is a doer. Teams are smaller, more nimble, and have more “sprints” to address client issues rather than the seasonal “farmwork” of audit
Expect very short turn around times often with little notice from the client.

Do any of the TAS groups do financial modeling?
Vme is to do with modeling, I’m not sure exactly what it involves but I’m pretty certain business modeling is involved/a major part of it
