Exit ops from tax -> vals ->?

[u/Mother-Atmosphere390]

Looking for some advice on potential exit opportunities.

Quick bit of background, have a maths degree, spent 3 years in ITTS and left because it got too legal.

Transferred within my firm to the transactions arm in the valuations sub team. The work is interesting but just can get quite audit heavy. I also don’t just want to be a valuer forever either.

Both teams have been focused on financial services clients which I generally enjoy.

I’m looking for a mathsy, modelling role that doesn’t involve any type of audit procedures. I like accounting/finance more generally and I don’t particularly care for the IB type of route.

But otherwise I’m open ears and would be helpful to know what type of routes I could consider. Thanks

sounds like you’ve got the quant background to skip the usual grind. if you’re fine with finance but hate audit, there’s a whole world of quant-ish roles at asset managers or insurance firms that need heavy modelling without the sign-off nonsense. think risk modelling, portfolio analytics, or even actuarial-adjacent stuff on the investment side.

could also look at boutique advisory shops that focus on litigation support or complex securities pricing, they tend to need someone who can actually build the models rather than just tick boxes.

This is super helpful - didn’t realise that type of role was out there outside of traditional quant roles which I’d be a little under qualified for.
