Got an offer as a fund accountant. I’ll pretty much be working under the controller. They havent disclosed my job description yet but it’s 90k salary plus 20% bonus. I went straight to big4 after college and been at Deloitte for a year in the tax dept. Any tips/advice? Stressful hours? Should I expect similar hours?

I’d just make sure that fund accounting is something you think would interest you and not just for $ as you may get pigeonholed after some time in the role. I know someone who is a fund accountant and hours can be a lot

Salary is good at 90k, but you can make more than that in big 4 after a few years. Thought about leaving at manager ?

Are you at a third party administrator or the actual fund? Also , are we talking mutual funds or hedge fund / private equity?

I was a fund accountant prior to switching to tax. I would agree with above that it does pigeonhold you, but I personally like the fund world.

One interview I had with a hedge fund in Evanston controller said “ I would hate being a controller at like a big corp such as McDonald’s for example” . I agreed with her i just like financial services .

Probably that I was right out of college
I feel as if undergrad accounting is way more corporate focused IMO

Fund is so niche I don’t recall going through it ever until I started working

I got a similar offer and accepted - tax background and a little over a years worth of experience. Depends on what your long term goals are - I kinda want to get out of tax so want to explore this path.
