Looking to transition from public accounting to valuation services. Specifically, I am interested in business valuation, but there aren’t a ton of opportunities in my area. If I started as an analyst in Stout’s machinery & equipment practice, assuming I performed well in the role, would doors open to transition to business valuation, or would I likely get stuck in a highly specialized niche of valuation services?

Having the valuation experience can only help you if you are hoping to transition to more modeling-based practices (General valuation, restructuring, disputes, etc)

Thanks for your reply. What I’m ultimately interested in is restructuring, however, I do not fit the candidate profile for entry level restructuring roles(no modeling experience). So, my thinking is I should go for any opportunity heavy on modeling to get some ‘reps’ in, and I think valuation services is maybe the most modeling-heavy service line.

Do you see people moving from valuations to Rx? Do you see any problems in the way I’m thinking?

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.
