What are some exit opportunities from public accounting that aren’t typically brought up or would surprise people? If you have any experience for jumping to a less-accounting related role, I would really appreciate your insights! Wanna see if there are any options outside FP&A, SEC reporting, data analysts etc. Thank you!

From accountant to "accountant"

Ive met quite a few people working in Compensation (commissions, equity admin, overall comp admin) that started their careers as auditors. Usually they’ve had a stop along the way in financial reporting or FP&A to get there though. Also seen a lot of people working as system admins for enterprise applications who started as auditors too.

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)
