Big 4 Valuation Consultant...Good stepping stone to IB?
Could anyone give some insight on whether a valuation consultant at a big 4 firm would be a good stepping stone into Investment banking? I come from a tax accounting background with my CPA but have no relevant finance experience for banks to really take me seriously yet (have been rejected a couple times and this was the feedback I received). I was thinking of taking on this role for a year or so and then trying to break into IB. Will this type of role give me good experience? The job description:
"Are you interested in helping clients, ranging from medium-sized businesses to large multinational corporations, solve complex business and transaction issues? As a professional in our business valuation practice you will have an opportunity to gain valuable experience working with leading valuation specialists to help our clients understand, analyze, and respond to various business opportunities and challenges.
Work you’ll do
You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of different projects within the Advisory Valuation practice, which may include;
•Financial reporting valuations for business combinations (i.e., a client's allocation of purchase price to assets and liabilities acquired), inclusive of enterprise values, intangible assets, legal entities, real estate, personal property and MACRS classifications.
• Valuation of goodwill and indefinite and long-lived asset impairment testing for financial reporting purposes.
• Valuation for tax purposes, including federal, state, local, international and personal tax, as well as services related to a client's allocation of purchase price for tax purposes only.
