I am a big 4 audit senior with my CPA and am strongly considering to start looking for new roles outside of public. Any pieces of advice as to how to begin the process? What industries/opportunities have people exited to that they enjoyed? FP&A, financial reporting, internal audit, etc.

I've only worked in internal audit and it's a 2 hour a month job

Are you WFH or needs to be onsite 5 days a week in the IA job?

Manager checking in on this.

I’d say the best place to start is LinkedIn. At a minimum you can tailor your searches to the opportunities you’re looking for.

Additionally, it seems like most reputable companies in industry post their jobs on LinkedIn.

Lastly, connecting with an external recruiter might not be a bad idea either. Most will probably push jobs in PA, but you can let them know from the start what you’re looking for.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
