Several people I personally know that are doing FP&A are accountants. I think they started in the company with a general accounting role and transitioning to FP&A.

The move is difficult from tax but I don't think it's necessary to go back to school. Would work on networking and upskilling before you resort to that.

Give it a shot. I know someone hiring fp&a analysts at diamler trucks in Rockhill SC if interested.

I just completed this exact leap pretty much!

I had a pretty diverse role in tax but still tax at Deloitte, spent a year as a controller somewhere small that was willing to take a chance on me, really did not enjoy that after a bit, so a year later I’m transitioning into FP&A!

Can most certainly be done

What’s so good about FP&A? Same pay, same or more busy than accounting, less exit opportunities for FP&A. A lot of time just end up staying in the same role.

@ SA1 You should be the official spokesperson for FP&A 👏🏾👏🏾

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?

Hi All,

I have an offer of 6.5 LPA fixed with Accenture (Level 11). Total CTC in Accenture is 7.8 LPA which includes variable pay. I have an offer of 8 LPA fixed with another company. I have accepted the offer of Accenture so now if I ask Accenture to increase my fixed amount to 7 LPA from 6.5 LPA, will my request get fulfilled and is this fair to ask? My joining date is 20-21 days from today. Please suggest
