I left to help our family business for a year and just came back to consulting. For me I didn't really have a choice on leaving since the business was struggling and family needed me.

When I was interviewing again I tailored everything I did with the business to my consulting experience and said they were essentially my "client" and that I was able to use all of my previously learnt skills in this new environment. Just make sure you have several stories of you working and providing solutions.

Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
