BIg 4 Audit Exit Oppurtunities

I'm starting in Big 4 audit and eventually want to transition into the finance side (not sure exactly what position) but wanted to see what the most common exit opportunities are for people who have started in audit, and whether it’s typically through lateral moves or transitioning into those finance roles over time. What have you seen work well for others, and any advice on how to make that transition successful?
