Are there roles that blend Accounting, Consulting, and Tech?
Hi everyone! I’m curious if there are positions that integrate Accounting, Consulting, and Technology. I’m in the process of obtaining my CPA and have recently earned my CMA. I have a strong interest in technology, particularly in areas related to Accounting, finance, and Economics.
As a starting point, I plan to join a Big 4 firm. Would an Advisory Associate position (in M&A, perhaps?) be a good fit?
Additionally, what other certifications or advanced degrees would you recommend for someone in this role? Should I consider CISA, CFA, or an MBA?
I would love to hear about your personal experiences! Thank you!
