Salo Compass: A career development program like no other

You’ll be challenged to stretch, reflect, and explore professionally through a variety of cultures, projects, and roles, with the goal of gaining insight on questions like:

  • What type of company/culture appeals to me?
  • What skills do I need to build and develop?
  • What roles and situations do I find meaningful?

Salo Compass is for professionals with:

  • At least a year or two of public accounting experience
  • A Bachelor’s degree in accounting or a related field (advanced degree preferred)

  • Love of new challenges
  • Great communication skills
  • A positive, energetic personality
  • Strong customer service skills

The Compass team will help you navigate your options based on your goals, skill gaps, and interests. Your input is vital!

In past rotations, our consultants have had career-building experiences, such as:

  • Controller, assistant controller, and accounting manager responsibilities
  • SEC, regulatory, and management reporting
  • Technical accounting
  • Financial modeling
  • Finance/information technology liaison
  • Project management
  • Business analysis
  • Internal audit/risk management

Salo works with all kinds of clients—public and private, large and small, PE- or VC-backed, or entrepreneurs. Many are looking for the right professional to fill a role at their organization.

During your time in the Compass program, you will be a salaried (versus hourly) employee. You’ll receive benefits—and the stability—you’re used to getting. And as your Compass experiences add up, you’ll see your market value grow!

Each rotation is slightly different. Work hours may fluctuate depending on the outcome our client is trying to achieve. We try to pre-identify projects involving overtime and let you know about it during the interview process, so you can make the best decision for your life. Average work weeks range between 40-45 hours.

Are you ready to step out of public accounting?
