How’s the TAS practice in regional accounting firm? Think CBIZ/CLA/Crowe/Baker Tilly. Eventually want to move to B4.

I would think you have a better shot at eventually ending up at B4 by staying in BDO TAS, not moving down market to a regional firm.

Not in TAS right now.

Are you in BDO audit? If you have a CPA, you can go right into B4 TAS directly

DM me for a Deloitte referral

Let me know for pwc

Shoot me a PM. I’m somebody that went from B4 advisory to BDO TAS, and it was the best decision I’ve made. We do take internal transfers

CLA TAS is what you want to avoid. We do low fee work at greater volume across an understaffed group. You learn nothing and keep on falling behind other firms in terms of deeper analysis. But do learn good management skills. However this is not audit. Deep industry knowledge and quality is more important. Plus every year you spend at CLA is every year lost (per recruiters).. GT, BDO, GT, and Cohnreznick are way better bet..
