what job should i take post-big4 audit but pre-MBA?

i have my cpa and have finished 1 year in big 4 audit. i plan on staying for one more year before i leave for a job that is more finance related where i plan to stay for an additional 2-3 years before starting (hopefully) a top 10 MBA. the question im wondering tho is what jobs would look best for MBA admissions? ppl often times mention the TAS and Valuations groups at big4 firms but from what ive seen making that jump is easier said than done (although i will try anyways).

common exit ops for big4 auditors are positions in financial reporting, product control, fund accounting and internal audit. is it correct to assume that none of these will impress top MBA programs? i want to do ibanking so i figure i need to move into a more finance related position pre-MBA. any ideas of jobs that i could reasonably get from big4 audit which will look well on MBA apps?
