Making a move soon to Deloitte ARA from audit as a senior. For people who made the audit to accounting advisory move, what types of things should I do to make the transition smoother and learn the job? Also if anyone had any insight into the ARA practice (wlb, culture, if they enjoy the work) especially in Canada I'd love to hear it.

Listen. It’s very similar but very different. In advisory you also have to learn how to sell yourself internally and build a brand within the firm more than you have to in audit.

Thank you for the response! Is there anything you did specifically to help build your brand at the firm? I'm switching firms so I'm leaving behind the network I built during my time in audit so I imagine I'll have to do a bit more in this regard

Should I get a CPA for Transaction Due Diligence?
I’m a new grad working in FDD and I’m trying to decide if becoming a CPA is worth it. I do not plan on staying in accounting in the future. I’m more interested in strategy work. I certainly do not want to do Audit. Would you recommend getting the CPA considering my career aspirations? Do you think it’s worth it? If not, what is the best way to use my time efficiently?
