I'm 19 and on an apprenticeship at Deloitte. I intend to see it through but I work in Audit and have hopes to move into FA, M&A, or similar. Internal or external (Anything other than audit really). What would be the best routes to go for and what qualifications/experience could I gain in the mean time that would stand me in good stead?

I think you are not located in US. It would be better if you can specify your location since the qualification can vary depending on your location. I have few colleagues from Europe and they said that scope of work in FDD is wider in Europe compared to US.

One of the best thing you can start is to check Linkedin. That's what I did when I was looking at what qualification that people had. In US office, most of the people had CPA, which I am not sure in the UK. Also, I think transferring to US office would not be difficult from UK for sure. I definitely see many european colleagues at EY since EY is visa friendly compared to other firms.

I currently have 10% shares in a very small f&b group owns 2 restaurant outlets.

One of them have been hit with covid and we are suffering in sales. Our director somehow don’t believe in marketing and will not budge to allocate resources to hire a personnel. Our staff are underpaid so there are no incentives for them to go beyond their SOW.

What are some of the ways to drive more sales?
