Hello! I recently received an offer to join EY’s NYC FAAS practice. I’m coming in as an Audit Senior at Deloitte and wanted to know everyone’s experience in FAAS. How are the hours like? Is the work mostly remote, if not how often is everyone going in? Is there a busy season or will I get put on audit clients?

Honest review of FAAS is it’s a mixed bag and really depends on the teams / projects you work on.
There’s no set busy season, but the past few years have had a 55 hour requirement for at least a month or two during typical audit busy season (Jan-march). But other than that, there are busy times - around quarterly and annual reporting, or if you work on a transaction that can a big push on/around the close date.
For the most part, I work around 45 hours a week, but I know plenty of people who regularly work more or less than that.
I work almost exclusively remote but I have colleagues that travel quite frequently or go to client sites regularly for local clients.
Biggest difference scheduling-wise (versus audit) is that your schedule will be much less predictable, as the projects tend to be more short-term / non-recurring (compared to audit where it’s the same thing each year)
