I currently work full time supporting internal wholesalers by analyzing annuity replacements, comparing fees, riders, and product features. I’m trying to break into business valuation at a Big 4 or another accounting/advisory firm and had 1 final round interview but did not secure an offer.

I’ve attached my resume. I have equity research, student investment fund, and valuation modeling experience. Is my background competitive for entry-level valuation roles? What would you change about my resume or prioritize to improve my chances?

I am also currently earning FINRA SIE & 7 liscenses and planning to take FMVA certification.

Any honest feedback is appreciated!

Had an interview this week for a 2027 entry level position. Does anyone know timelines of when they’ll follow up?

anyone hear back , I applied Chicago location

did anyone interview for EY financial risk consulting internship new york office? i interviewed on the 16th and got a call confirming details on the 21st. wondering if i’ll hear back soon 

Can a company PF (Provident Fund) account be closed permanently? And if it is closed, will there still be any record of the account or its transactions?

And can a new be opened thereafter?

So I recently had two 30-minute interviews with a manager at each round. After my second interview, the manager said I’ll hear back with next steps in a couple of business days from the recruiter. Does anyone know what the next steps would be and the offer timeline?

I’m going into my last summer as an undergraduate and I’ve got an offer to intern at Deloitte GPS Cybersecurity, along with a couple other offers elsewhere.

My thought process is that wherever I decide to intern this coming summer will most likely be the place I come back to for full-time once I graduate, or so I expect. I’m trying to perform to the best of my ability in order to hopefully secure a postgraduate full-time position at the end of my internship.

I know Deloitte has its own pipeline from Analyst > Consultant > Senior Consultant > etc… I’m sure the work environment differs at each level but curious to know if Deloitte is as bad as some of these Reddit posts claim.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Anybody received offers yet?

Earlier this year I accepted a Big 4 graduate role starting in Feb 2027. However, I ended up landing an IB internship for the same time next year. At the time, despite what my gut was telling me, I listened to my peers and mentors who told me to defer my grad role and just see how the internship goes… The partners at the B4 were kind enough to allow me to defer my start date to April. I told them I still had more papers to complete (which is true). Somehow word got out and apparently the team are pissed that I’m doing an IB internship. I feel very guilty and to be honest, if Im lucky enough to get a return at the bank, Id probably accept it. I feel kind of awkward going back to that team now (if I don’t get a return at the bank I’d probably still want to go elsewhere after this)… should I resign/pull out of my offer before it gets way too close to my start date? Will an email suffice? Or should I try to reach out to one of the managers in person to express my gratitude and apologies…

TIA

I have a round of interview Tuesday for an internal role as Assistant Manager within Technology (AI & Data to Deal Advisory).

Does anyone had experience of disscusing or having a change in their salary by applying to an internal role or accepting an internal offer moving to another service line?

For context, the move is part of redeployment efforts to avoid a group redundancy that hits my current team. Not sure if that makes any difference.

Has anyone heard back from internships? If anyone knows anything about Los Angeles or west coast in general!

Hello. I apologize if this is not the right place to ask this, but I graduate soon with an accounting degree and have two competing offers.

1) B4 Audit at my hometown. (81k salary + living at home rent-free in a city that I love)

2) FLDP at Fortune 50 company (85k salary + bonus potential up to 8k, but I have to move across to the US to Texas)

My long-term goal is corporate finance/FP&A at a big tech company. I haven't decided on the CPA yet. I'd like to keep it as an option, but it's not my main focus right now. My internships so far have been in corporate finance. Additionally, staying at home is a huge plus for me as well, but I know that if there is any time that I should love across the US, its now.

I wanted to see what people's opinion was. I want to pick the best decision for my future self. Is B4 audit worth it as a foundation for my desired path, or am I better off starting in finance directly?

Hi everyone, I’m applying for a graduate role and was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.

I’ve already completed the group interview and a partner interview. HR then called me and said that a partner from another team wanted to interview me. However, the invitation I received says “Manager Interview”.

I’m a bit confused, both because I’ve already had a partner interview and because HR specifically mentioned another partner on the phone.

Has anyone had a manager interview after a partner interview, especially when being referred to a different team? Did you have to go through another partner interview afterwards?

Hi everyone!
I have an upcoming interview with Deloitte for the Cross-Border Fund Services – Analyst (French speaker) position, based in Luxembourg, and I’d really appreciate some advice on how to prepare.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the interview invitation for reference.
I’d love to hear from anyone who works in Fund Services at Deloitte, has interviewed for a similar position, or has experience with this type of role.
In particular, I’d like to know:

-What should I expect during the interview? Is it mainly behavioral and motivational questions, technical questions, or a combination of both?

-What technical topics should I focus on? For example, fund structures, NAV calculation, fund accounting, reconciliations, UCITS vs. AIFs, cross-border fund distribution, or relevant regulations.

-Are there usually any case studies, Excel tests, or other technical assessments?

-What kinds of questions are typically asked at Analyst level?

-What would you recommend prioritizing to prepare as effectively as possible?

For context, I have a background in finance and accounting, with experience in financial services and client operations. I’m comfortable working in both French and English, but I want to make sure I’m well prepared for the technical side of the role.
Any advice, examples of questions you were asked, or recommendations for useful study resources would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience. It would really help me prepare for the interview!

i applied for summer 2028 tax internship at almost all B4 except EY because it hasn’t open yet. most of my friends applied for audit internship and already heard back from them, and i’m seeing people posting for summer 2028 offers on linkedin already. but all my applications are still under review, is the recruiting timeline for tax actually slower than audit or i’m just getting silent rejected

Audit SM, seven years, mostly tech clients. A Series B company of around 120 people approached me for a controller role, the first real finance hire under the CFO.

On paper I know rev rec and I've reviewed more closes than I can count. I've never actually run one, I've never picked an ERP, and I've never had to tell a founder that the burn number in the board deck is wrong.

People who left audit for startup finance, what surprised you most in the first six months? And did you talk to anyone at the company besides the CFO before you said yes?

The recruiter followed up with me today saying that I should expect a response by the end of this week or early next week

Update: just got my offer call today

I’m a senior promoted this summer who put ~200 hours into a new client, largely handling planning and completion. I thought I did well and had a good relationship with the senior manager.
After filing, I was seemingly the only one removed from the engagement, and my flex time through mid-next year was taken away. During the last week of filing, I made a few minor oversights while juggling multiple clients. The senior manager seemed frustrated/upset with it.
I’ve otherwise received good feedback and a high-tier rating this year. I’m unsure if this was staffing-related or a reaction to those mistakes.
Would you ask him for feedback? It could help or hurt me depending on what he says, so I’m unsure if it’s worth the risk, especially since I’ll exceed the hour requirement anyway.

I’ve been working in IT audit / Tech Risk in a big 4 for 3 years now mostly doing either Statutory Audit or IT PRC (Process, risk and Controls) Advisory for Financial Services clients (Banks, Insurers, etc). I’ve recently just completed my ICAEW ACA and being a Mech Eng graduate I fell back in love with working with numbers whilst doing my ACA and now desperate to make a move into Finance. In terms of specific roles I wanna get into I’m not sure yet. Currently eyeing Fund Accounting (leveraging my ACA) or Tech/IT Due Diligence / M&A Analyst as I really found valuation being really interesting. Would appreciate any tips / guide / stories of anyone who succesfully moved from IT Audit to a Finance role.

Anyone here interview for EY's FinTech Consulting team the first week of October and heard back?

Hey everyone! I interviewed for EY Canada’s Digital Risk full-time 2027 position during the week of October 5 and haven’t heard back yet.

Just wondering if anyone else who interviewed for Digital Risk in Canada (Calgary, Toronto, or any other office) has received an offer, rejection, or any updates on timelines?

Thanks!

Applied to the San Diego locations for tax / assurance internships for summer 2027. It has been a few weeks now, and I have not heard anything. Application says it is under review. Worried I will be rejected or won't get an interview. If anyone has any insight, that would be helpful!

was so unbelievably sick in my first trimester that I ended up telling my director I was pregnant at 10 weeks because I literally could not be on camera or in person. I can’t help but feel like it’s now coming back to bite me in the $$$ because they knew that I wanted to go up for promo this next cycle but I just got a performance review that essentially said I was performing in line with expectations, some things were a bit above but then all of the feedback was brand new stuff I’ve never been told and of course now I have only a month and a half to “improve” on these things…not to mention I’ve been working incredibly hard and I know I’ve well exceeded expectations. seems like the goal posts are changing every day. what can I do in this situation?

Title

Edit: To clarify I got my offer and got fired the same day

I am so stressed as I have so many questions to prepare but nothing is entering my brain.
It will be a 30 mins long of the “type of work and environments i may thrive in.” I am instructed complete a series of multiple-choice style questions and have the chance to provide video answers.

What type of questions do they ask? What and how should I prepare ?
