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!
