Has anyone transferred to OTS from assurance as a senior? Want to know what the transition was like, the learning curve and expectations. Also, any advice ? Thanks

There are plenty of success stories of folks moving from Assurance to OTS. We have Partners that started in Assurance / went to Transaction Diligence and then onto OTS. Some have gone direct to OTS. You are early enough in your career to make the move if it’s available to you. There is a good Learning and Development program in OTS and the teams tend to be quite big and supportive. MItch Berlin - America’s OTS leader and Alex Gaunt, the UK&I OTS leader both started their careers in Assurance. If you are willing to learn and work hard you can make it work. The culture of OTS is strong. If however you are moving there out of desperation to get away from Assurance then that may not be the right motivation to succeed.

No at all. I’m not interested in OTS just to leave assurance. I fell upon the description of the department’s work and I just feel it has such value added components in their day-to-day work that it interests me. I’m very big on added value when it comes to work and I feel OTS can fill that expectation I have where assurance falls short.

I will say this would very unusual. None of the work we do in A&O is assurance related. We are doing management consulting related work (operational stand up of business verticals). MBA is best route.

Honestly sounds super interesting. I ended up doing my CPA just because I thought it would make me more well rounded in a consulting role knowing numbers and processes of companies and meshing it together to make it work, whether it be a carve out (worked on one but financial side) or an integration.

Try to connect with someone doing FDD work in TAS. I’m sure they can use your skillet.

I don’t know if it makes a difference but I’m going into the operations aspect of S&O...What kind of backgrounds fit with OTS/S&O if it seems like auditor is not it ? The work just seems so interesting to me.

OP, you know Parthenon does growth strategy too? Meanwhile a lot of OTS work is integration management a.k.a. PMo
