Audit? Would for sure apply, worst they can say is no

Yes, audit senior here. :)

Financial analyst is a very common exit from PA. It's somewhat broad and could mean anything from financial reporting to FP&A, but I am relatively certain your experience is relevant. Also, not much harm in applying anyways.

Yes. Make the move, support ya!
