From Accounting to Corporate Finance

Hi everyone,

I am Alex and I am a new member of our society. I always wanted a job with budget monitoring tasks, financial decisions making, etc (More like owning the financial aspect of a product/brand). I have worked for 13 months in BIG 4 company as audit assistant. Then a big company made me an offer for accounting assistan job for nearly 40% more money.

I have been working in this job for 5 months now and I really think the job is boring. In future I want to transfer to a job like the one i described earlier. I think that the best I have to do is to stay in this job for 2 years. What you would advise me in order to be ready in two years to look for a job like this. I have bachelor in Finance and an MBA. I am looking for extra courses( Coursera i.e ) or even a certification (CMA, ACCA, CFA). Also, a job in demand planning would help? Or Marketing?

I am 27 years old.

Thank you

 

apply for financial analyst positions. your experience is very relevant to FP&A and you should have no problems getting interviews. with an MBA and Big4 experience, you’ll likely stand out among other candidates applying for those roles

 

Hi my friend and sorry for the delay. Yes I left without senior belt. All the seniors I cooperated with assured me that if I had stayed, I would be senior in next summer but I left. I do not know if my decision was right. The wage increase was really big and the company has very good reputation. I think that in every environment there is room for advancement and I have understood that you cannot organise everything. Whatever you need you can contact with me.

Thank you!
