Whats the difference between a risk and financial advisory accounting and internal controls role vs an audit role?

Risk advisory is just a piece of audit. Both will suck, but audit opens doors to accounting, FP&A, internal audit, and advisory roles like FDD, accounting advisory, and finance transformation.

Risk advisory only opens doors to internal audit. And honestly, it is the worst part of audit (controls testing). They will make these grand claims that it's "advisory" and "consulting" and "process improvement," but in reality you are a control tester and screenshotter.

Finance transformation sound cool but it is basically setting up a shared service center offshore.

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?
