I’m currently an S1 in FS tax but I want to get into Audit at either Deloitte or EY in LA. (End goal is FP&A). Does anyone know which area of audit is best for this exit? And anyone have an idea of what salary I should expect? Currently making 86k. EY Deloitte

If you’re already a senior and you’re trying to eventually move into FP&A, I think you should just try to make the jump now. Especially with how the market is, it’s probably relatively easy to make the transition now than when you’re a Manager+ coming from audit.

WLB in FS can’t be any better lol. Plus WLB exits for FS are worse than audit exits I think.

If your end goal is FP&A why don't you apply for senior financial analyst roles? If you want to be a controller I'd say do audit. Audit generally doesn't translate into FP&A, as there is little accounting and more forecasting. Ive seen it happen but they are different skills

@EY1 & D2 My fear is that employers will see I have a background in partnership tax and laugh. I definitely want to upskill/learn forecasting.. but I guess it can’t hurt to just apply and see what happens.

I can’t help since I have never worked in tax but I’m sure there are things, like D2 said, that are transferable. You just have to connect the dots for them to make them realize you have some transferable skills. I also think you’d be surprised how much they’d value someone that can just power through the public accounting life and not worry as much about specific skills, which can be learned. Also, the longer you wait the more difficult it will be to make the jump since skills will probably be less transferable.
