U know more than u think u know
This is it! You absolutely know more than you think.
Financial Statement Audit experience provides a set of strong foundational skills for you to apply broadly.
I'd say it's the typical route to go from Audit Senior to Senior Accountant. Many established companies don't hire people without big 4 audit experience.
i thought people had to know accounting work to do audit? i dont do audit so just curious
How would you know how to prepare something you’ve never done? You can review a completed file at a high level but if you don’t have operational knowledge , you wouldn’t know the nuances to prepare it
You’ll be more than fine skill / knowledge wise, unless it’s some highly obscure / complex accounting you are doing and you don’t have that experience (e.g. hospital revenue accountant).
The real question is, how detail oriented are you REALLY? It’s one thing to quickly audit and tie out schedules / FS with a materiality to lean back on, but industry senior accountant work is often very detailed and small $ mistakes matter.
