How do you find tax industry roles as an exp associate? Seems like everything is manager and up and recruiters have nothing. Or, how can I leverage all my excel experience into fp&a or another role?

Not sure what region you're in but you shouldn't need a recruiter to find entry level / 1-2 year experience industry positions. Recruiters aren't really interested in helping you since they get a set percentage of starting salary for whoever they place and obviously they focus on higher level positions for that reason. There are plenty of online resources to peruse to find something out there at your level....glassdoor, indeed, linkedin, monster, etc etc. there are plenty of roles out there at your level in any major metropolitan area.

If you're looking for an fp&a role as a tax experienced associate, you're basically entry level, regardless of your excel skills. Id play down the tax experience and play up the PA experience on your resume/ discussions with potential employers.

Are u a non-public accountant looking for a tax role in public accounting? Do u have ur cpa? What salary are u looking for? Those are the main reasons why u wouldn't be able to find anything as there are so many openings in public accounting

I am looking for industry not public....

Not sure ur age, level, or experience but maybe find an internship or ask a recruiter. The thing is a lot of companies want someone who can hit the ground running and usually grab PA people who don't want to do the hours anymore.

Doesn't define much in industry. A blackstone associate is comparable to a PA senior due to their leveling system. Also there are ppl with years of work experience but want to get into a certain place/industry and want to get in on the ground level but are ruled out because they are overqualified or too expensive

Not sure why it posted twice. Sorry about that

Seriously? Where in ur OP does it say public? Anyway I'm sure someone will help u out so gl

Thanks User2 for actual advice & reading the post 😊
