“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Congrats on the offer, I plan to go the CF route myself in a similar way.
I don't see why you couldn't do what you want to do, but it would obviously take the extra effort. If you get a rotation into strategy/development, network and try to stay at the end of the 2-3 years when your rotations end. Alternatively, you could always go through a top 10 MBA.
It depends on the company and what the role looks like. I've run into a couple of the FLDPs at one of my clients (they call it something different but the concept is the same), and they're essentially accountants. Maybe they'll do a rotation in financial planning or something, but it's very much a back office / support function job. On the other hand, I think there are some F500s where the role is much broader and you can do a rotation in business development, treasury, etc. The latter kind of role would look pretty good; the former is an accounting job, so you have to assess it however you'd assess any other accounting role.
Also, are you trying to lateral, or are you thinking that you'll try to move to consulting post B-school?
