I have 7 years of accounting experience, a Masters in Accounting and currently am a Finance Supervisor at Fortune 50 Company. I’m thinking about making the switch to data analytics because of 1) Compensation Advantages and 2) I’m looking to transition with the trend in accounting with management starting to focused a lot more on automation of financial data analysis.

What’s the best way for me to make this transition? With my background are there specific roles that I should aim for?

Look for roles that leverage an accounting/finance background but that benefit from SQL analysis, or have a more strategic focus.

That being said, not sure what a Finance Supervisor is? Is it a "lead" role in financial analysis with a salary in 5+ figures demanding high proficiency in Excel analysis?

Because it is a pivot, you would want to find a job with a current employer OR try to get SQL skills and push your resume externally with a cover letter.
