Then don't.
I think it depends. I left PA and work at a very large company with several entities. I do month end close and have financial reporting duties as well. I like what my company does and it has areas that are growing, so I still get to learn new things. I prefer to “work to live” and not the other way around, so I don’t mind some of the repetition if I can leave work at 4 and not work weekends
I recently transitioned to industry and about 15% of my work is repetitive and the rest of my time is spent on special projects and technical accounting research.
Industry positions vary greatly. Just make sure you get one in a large company and the description says adhoc projects make up a majority of the position. Also, in a large corporation there are opportunities to move around and jump on projects. It just comes down to networking and being motivated.
