It can be, but the orgs that you are managing budgets for that are sometimes completely financially illiterate keep it interesting. Lmao. I dont love it but it pays well.
Never went into PA so I cant say but its probably less busy by far
Speaking from experience: You’ll probably go in being one of the smarter people of the bunch and build a great resume for yourself. Might be doing some repetitive stuff for a few months until they realize you’re capable of ad hoc projects. I was bored my first 6 months. Now I’m working on new reports and processes and just hired the first addition to my team. I could easily be VP of finance and accounting in a few years.
I would say it’s mid size. Multi million dollars in annual revenues.
I heard FP&A is more boring than Internal Audit, is it true?
I’ve never done internal audit. I did tax and tax audit and M&A FDD in PA.
Depends on company and function you support. At large companies there’s a whole team dedicated to consolidating forecasts that’s 80% repetition and 20% ad hoc from executive requests. then you have business facing finance which is 20% about getting inputs and refreshing forecast each cycle and 80% about ad hoc analysis. In smaller companies more finance roles are business facing. Also if the org you support is opex related it’s less interesting (how can we spend less is the root of all your problems) whereas revenue is more interesting because you get closer to the core business strategy and there’s more levers to pull/factors to consider.
Why not get into accounting advisory if you’re looking for something more interesting? Clients are more long term, and the work you do is unique and you’ll gain a ton of new experiences. DM me and I can see if our firm is hiring in your city
