Accounting at a fund, sure. All funds need those.
Yep- you could probably get at minimum ~40% increasing in base when switching to a fund accounting role. I looked at these
a couple years back, but decided to stay in FP&A, and now make more with respectable hours.
It's possible, but would be as proactive as possible as soon as possible. Right now you have a solid basis of experience to make a pivot, but additional experience in public isn't going to help you beyond that.
There are several routes you could take. Getting an MBA from a top program would one way. Or, you could try and get your foot in the door at a private equity company by working in an accounting role, network your ass off to build relationships with the people in finance roles, and then try and move into the financial side, either internally at that company or at a different one.
The latter was the approach I took to move from public accounting into a finance role in REPE. I did one year public accounting, 2.5 years as a fund accountant for a REIT where networked with anyone who would give me the time of day, and then when a an analyst role opened up at a different REPE shop, I jumped all over it. While I was in the fund accounting role, I also took a few elective courses through a college offering a certificate in commercial real estate which I think I helped me market myself in interviewing.
Now that I'm re reading your original prompt, it seems like you were asking about making a switch into another accounting role. Apologies if I misinterpreted
