I have 4 years public accounting experience, and 3.5 years manager experience within the corporate controllership function, both technical and SEC reporting related (more technical than SEC). What roles would I be a fit for? Public experience includes tax and audit. EY PwC KPMG Deloitte

W&M is not T2

Referral is the only way

Realistic path for you is to network internally, get into a practice area within EY-P like post merger integration, then pivot to an M or B specialist practice. Generalist / strategy & corporate finance likely not possible. Depends what you want to do though
Who is W&M? That means they aren’t even T2.
Meaning if you don’t have the clout you can’t claim T2 and pivot as people make it as easy on this platform. Wasn’t meant to be disrespectful.
You can. You’ll need to network and you’ll go through the experienced hire process.

Which school?
S&1 ^ but neither of those schools is T30. All I can think of is Simon has ties to M&T bank and someone could pivot to MBB specializing in finance? Not thinking they’d be generalist track from Simon.
On campus recruiting? That’s the most straightforward way.
No luck
You could try the non-integrative / main consulting track. I feel like I’ve seen the most diversity of backgrounds in expert, data&analytics, or non-client facing roles. Not familiar with those roles but I’m sure a quick google can turn up a lot of info on that.
Lateral hire. Work hard for a tier 2 consulting offer or industry position and then apply MBB after 1-2 years, I know countless people who have done this; although more so pre-MBA.
Work on getting referrals and prepping interview cases. Only real shot.
Don’t recommend only trying for MBB at this time based on experience and perceived prestige. T2-T3 are also improvements.
