Has anyone worked for an accounting advisory (technical accounting) practice and FDD? Which did you like better and why?

I'm in an AAS practice but wonder if I'd like FDD more.

In FDD and haven’t worked in AAS but we work with them a bit and honestly I look at that group and cringe at how dry that stuff is. Couldn’t imagine burying my head in a 300 page binder of lease accounting guidance that is basically a compliance exercise. But some people love that stuff, so to each their own.

@Experienced Associate 1 - AAS is pretty broad. There are people that do what you describe and love it. However, a lot of us work on carve-outs, pro forma financial statements, IPOs, private placements, etc. This is more my area of focus.

That's why I would love to hear from someone that has done both. I hear doing a carve-out in AAS is very similar to sell-side due diligence. Just would like to know more about how the work differs, etc.

Hey OP, what don’t you like about AAS? I’m looking to join that soon

How are the hours generally? Sorry to hijack your post!

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role. Would it be a good career decision for someone coming from GRC firms like Kroll, Control Risk or Exiger? I am concerned about the negative reviews relating to the PwC acceleration centres in general, and getting stuck in a role which does not provide growth opportunities. Thank you.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.

Need to vent for a minute. I am a middle school librarian. I service 5-8 grade students. My library ran smooth as ice cream this past year.

We have new administration and this year I have class periods and one planning period like a regular teacher. I have 27 students in each class. " Ridiculous." Has your library changed?
