Has anyone heard of any pivots for a chartered accountant besides audit/finance? As part of my consulting role it was in my contract to complete the icaew chartered accountancy degree. Currently working in internal audit and not set on continuing. UK based at the moment.

Do you want to stay in the accounting field? At our company so many of our tech people have come from the accounting space. Attention to detail and an affinity for understanding IT can help finance domain experts excel in IT.

It was more the people-oriented business management / consulting aspect I chose this job for, though the further I go down this road the more it’s becoming purely individual, spreadsheet-centred work.
Thanks though - almost all of my tech risk colleagues noticed this opportunity and have moved on because of it

You could do forensic accounting consulting.

Companies to look at - Ankura, Alvarez, FTI, Alix, BRG for some of the boutique firms.
