That’s interesting. What kind of work exactly do you do now?
Enterprise sales for a fintech company. Requires some travel, but its good trade off when you’re WFH.

Similar background here. LSUCIA > Big4 Houston for 8yr > Moved to Nola > Switched jobs
My observations fwiw:
- Switching out of IA and technical acct and into process/tech consulting was the right move despite getting the CPA.
- Compared to big cities, there are very few good pure accounting track jobs here in Nola available to “external candidates” like you.
- Once you commit to a job in Nola, growth and pace will slow. This might be good for you, but know it will be very hard to get back into to rat race if you leave it.
Reco:
- go remote
- switch to fp&a. It’s a gateway to table you say you want to sit at that doesn’t require and MBA, CPA, or Daddy’s network, and it doesn’t sound like you love acct.
- don’t rule out sales. Good money and fintechs hire ex-auditor and consultants because they’re gritty and understand the acct/fin domain. I was scared at first, but I’m happy to bet on myself now.
Good topic friend, good luck… LSUCIA is the goat.
