I am guessing you must be the proof reader of the PBC list which the dates didn’t even get rolled forward.

Agree - Accountant is better experience for a future Controller
The SOX experience puts you in the internal audit / SOX niche. Also it’s only really applicable for working at public companies.
You may find it easier to work your way up to Controller in a private company. At a private company the SOX experience wouldn’t be valued as much.

What type of company do you want to be a controller at? Staying in big4 through manager in audit opens up a lot of private controller / assistant controller type roles at medium sized privates

Just patiently wait for your dreams to be crushed

Thank you all for your responses. The issue is that the Sox role is at a great company with awesome laid back culture and I already know all the finance/accounting department team.

The accountant role offer is at a company I know nothing about.

So I am thinking what if I get into the super nice company and then change my role within it to get out of the internal audit niche?!

I agree with PWC 2, sounds like you made up your mind. For what it’s worth I hired one of our internal auditors into our financial reporting department. Go where you think you will be most comfortable to grow and make the most of the opportunities you get.
