If you are quite sure that accounting / fp&a stuff are things that you will want to do, fldp will likely be better in my view. You start off with a higher pay, and if nothing goes wrong you should be hitting a decent pay amd progression in 3-5 years time too.
Going into audit then go do accounting or fp&a is taking an extra step, since you missed out a couple of years of commeecial experience. In addition, some firms like that couple of fmcg with fldp don't really hire from external that often.
If you want to keep your options slightly more open, professional services may be a better choice.
