I got out of public accounting about five years ago and moved to an accounting-adjacent job…to the tax software company I was already using! I’ve never been happier and highly suggest looking at the company you use anyway and go there as a sales rep or a software consultant or if you have the tech background, you’d be invaluable as an auditor AND a computer programmer. 👍

Internal audit? Usually involves more audit of operations and processes, not just accounting / financial reporting
