We’ve mapped out the landscape for you.
At some point in their career, almost every Accountant has a desire to move into something more strategic and/or commercial
Transaction Services roles are idolized, and recruiters often mis-sell you vanilla accounting roles often playing on the goal of getting into Private Equity and/or becoming a C-Suite Executive.
Yet there are more efficient and effective ways to get out of the finance weeds and up to the top…
Determine where you are on your career decision-making journey
Structure your approach at any stage of your career
Most people don’t spend enough time in Phase 1
Applying for anything and everything gives recruiters the upper hand and leaves key questions unanswered:
- How to make sure I don’t pigeon-hole myself by making a wrong move?
- How do I know what is genuinely a “strategic” or “commercial” role?
- Which roles do I have the best chances of getting (and adding value to) post-accounting & audit?
- Should I work In-Industry or Advisory?
- How to approach finding and applying to such roles (i.e. choosing a specialism or sector)?
….but that’s the best place to start!
Knowing the full extent of exit opportunities available to you, how you are positioned relative to them, and the hurdles you might need to jump over, is the most effective way to plan your route in.
