I am an audit senior at a big 4 firm. I am curious what the exit opportunities would be from a boutique advisory firm where I’d be working on a variety of projects including valuations, transactions, audit readiness, and outsourced accounting. The role seems interesting I’m just curious if it narrows down my exit opportunities or if I can still transition to a high up accounting role at a private company with a better WLB when I’m older?

Each of these practices have people who are dedicated to that particular type of work. I find it odd that they’re promising you all these types of opps. I work in transactions and while it’s not rocket science, it takes a while to understand.

I could not just switch to valuations or o/s accounting and expect to have the same knowledge base.

But, if it’s true, you’d be very well positioned for an industry job. Even better than just having audit experience.

I believe the reason for the variety of work is due to the firm only being 40 people and the clients are small to medium size businesses
