Welcome to an age old consulting debate: pmo in excel or project.

Often times a manager will request switching between both, and some may even ask to do it all in ppt with complicated Gantt chart slides.

There is actually no right answer. In fact, many would say they are all wrong.

What @pwc1 said. All options suck. Just choose the path of least resistance.

Or build a link for your MSP file to Power BI for awesome charts / dashboards and bypass excel completely (if that's all ur doing)

The mapping and export in MSP is a nightmare. Hope the copy paste worked for u.

Hey everyone! I am a CPA, started at PwC, now the assistant controller at a small/medium sized Ag company. Thus far, the plan has been to follow the CFO path. But recently I have been longing for more social/client facing interactions. I am very extroverted. I love meeting and connecting with new people and would like to incorporate that into my career. Any thoughts on possible career paths that would combine my experience in accounting with a more socially fulfilling job?

Thanks I’m advance!

I’m from the Account side but I’m looking to switch things up in my career and move over to Project Management. At my current agency the role I have been holding doesn’t seem to have that type of transition opportunity. Due to that lack of flexibility I have been searching for hybrid or remote options. The idea presented itself a few months ago when I was recruited by an agency slightly larger than my own. I made to the top three but was not selected for the position. Any leads advice welcomed!
