Get out of Offshore Audit Work
I am a Chartered Accountant from India with around 3 years of experience in offshore audit, worked with both US and UK clients in a Big 4 firm. Over time, I’ve started feeling burnt out in audit and am looking to transition into SEC reporting or technical accounting roles.
To support this transition, I have already enrolled in ACCA and will be appearing for exams in September and have further plans to pursue US CPA as well.
I also have an SEC reporting interview scheduled for tomorrow (which is 4th technical round). The competition is quite intense — out of nearly 50 candidates interviewed, only 2 have been shortlisted, and just 1 candidate will be selected.
I am putting in a lot of effort, but things haven’t been working out as expected so far. I would really appreciate guidance from anyone with a similar background who has successfully made this transition into SEC reporting or technical accounting — especially on what next steps I should focus on.
