In today's video I will go over what an advisory accountant does, discussing the varying focus areas from compliance to process improvement. I am also sharing a bit about the skills and experience needed to get into advisory and what the role may look like from client to client.

Great Overview. I worked in Forensic Advisory at Big 4 for a few years. Great opportunity/experience to have in your career.

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

That’s awesome! Forensic accounting is a high sought after position

Informative video! Great help!

[@GegeP1804]

This is helpful because I just started at one of the big4 and wondering what are the exit opportunities. I am straight from school, I was not too much interested in audit, but was wondering if I shot myself in the foot by not starting in audit first. I am doing more IA and Tech risk.

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

I think that IT and Tech risk are somewhat specific but still excellent areas to come from. That will set up to able to get into consulting roles going forward. The big 4 experience alone will be enough to take you places.

Look into transaction advisory services and financial due diligence people! Thank me later.

[@TheAccountingStruggle]

Thank you!

Yeah actually this looks like something I would love to do. So many people online say your job experience is much more important than getting a CFA but I see companies asking for cfa all the time. It's really confusing what to do.
