Assuming you want to go to industry and not do the same work for another firm, you generally have two routes. 1) finance & accounting operations, 2) internal consulting/PM role.

The prior is easy to find jobs, that latter is more niche in industry but they exist.

Some very large companies have internal consulting teams. Others bury the role within the function, usually as a functional analyst for large tech projects.

Lately I’ve actually been seeing companies hire specifically for Finance Transformation and use FT in the job title. Seems like companies are interested in building internal FT capability.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year.

I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
