Curious about the entrepreneurial trend among former Deloitte and KPMG professionals – what drives individuals from these firms to start their own businesses after leaving, and what key factors contribute to this common career transition?

I did a chartered accountancy in Canada with Deloitte. Worked. Audit, then advisory working on m&a due diligence.

For poached from there for tech sales selling data to banks & hedge funds. Did sales then mgmt, was a chief revenue officer then ceo. Left industry to buy companies, then got back into it building a b2b tech augmentation agency where we share royalties alongside various software partners.

Went on my own at 34 I think it was. 41 now.

Go for it, it’s a blast. Highly liberating knowing how to drop and go and build.

Factors: I left the big company I was at as an SVP managing a part of the company, to do a 300 person one as CRO then CEO. Then in feeling more like an employee than ever as a CEO, I decided I want to own my own thing.

Bought a few small companies, then later decided to go back into tech. Started another company from scratch that grew fast right away. It’s been a wild ride but I had some luck and was able to be financially free by mid 30s. 41 now, building my companies still but more for fun.
