Trying to decide on an offer, KPMG associate in finance transformation based in NYC, $95k base w/ 2 yoe. I’m coming from Atlanta at a very lower tier firm so not sure what to expect regarding Big4 consulting and finance trans in particular at KPMG. Worth it to wait it out for something better or will this be a good springboard?

It's a lot of Oracle and Workday tech implementation work. You won't be doing the actual implementation but you'll be working on "transforming it" before they actually implement it.

Here's a list of functionals you'll work on
Target operating model assessment (Current and future state)
Organization design
Business process design
Policy Harmonization
Process improvement

Essentially you're looking at all the components of how they operate as a finance department within their org and how to fix the pitfalls they noted. It's a nice blend of finance, strategy, and technology! Also you landed a great salary, that's over the actual cap for normal associates.

Finance transformation at KPMG is actually pretty good. And good salary. The usual Deloitte person will comment about how it’s KPMG, but that’s a well respected practice.

For associate that’s the best offer you’re going to get besides MBB

I interviewed for the position of Associate Human Capital Advisory role at KPMG.

My company was just acquired by a private equity firm. We’ve been around for 25+ years and have been a public company.

I recognize there can be positives and negatives to this type of acquisition, but I’m curious if anyone has any tips, feedback, personal experiences, etc. they can share?
