The work is way more interesting, the client interaction is friendlier and more in-depth, hours can get tight during deadlines but overall very happy I switched into the group.

No problem. Hope your transfer goes through without a hick up, if you choose to do it

like

Yes do it. More interesting work - and hours aren’t as bad. There will be nights where you work later than you would in audit, but there’s also days you’ll be off early. No working late just to work late

I switched to FAAS and one important thing to note is that you won’t learn as much as quickly in FAAS as you do in audit.

like

Really? I had the opposite experience. I’ve been learning a ton more than I did in audit. I’ve been working directly under a senior manager since I stated and maybe that’s why. Like every service line it probably depends on which team/engagement you get put on

Which offices have FAAS practices?

I think our bigger offices like Dallas, LA, NYC, etc

Follow up: what kind of work do you actually do in the FAAS group?

Come to KPMG AAS. We are actively looking for people!

FAAS, CMAAS, AAS and ARAS are all the same, we compete on almost all engagements. There is little to no difference

I currently do securities ops/accounting but want to move into a more client facing role.

I’ve only been there 1 yr and I know my current manager also has some higher level items in securities ops he wants me to do as well.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
