I am a newly promoted senior auditor

I am trying to get into fp&a

Should I be applying to associate level roles or senior level roles?

I am thinking associate level since they are going to have to train me a lot since audit is much different.

Same boat. From what I’ve learned, this is company dependent. The large F500 will only take you as an Associate whereas others will generally take you as a Sr

Just passively looking at job postings these days. The advice that I’ve received is to get a couple months of Senior under my belt before making the move

Will vary by company, I’d apply to both experienced associate and senior roles and see where you land.

Senior for sure. A lot of FPnA roles revolve around accounting so you can get lucky! But yea apply everywhere! Pay and title .ale a difference

Hi there -

Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
