Works at Grant Thornton 1:

I have, and actually got approval for reimbursement. Haven’t utilized it yet but I think it’s a nice complement to the CPA and could be a transitionary mechanism down the line. Jump to comment

Looking to switch from Audit into another career path. However, just not sure what that would be. My long-term goal is to become a forensic accountant (minimum 10-15 years from now). Studying for the CPA exam, and once that is done I'd like to sit for the CFE exam. Current interests are in the private/corporate accounting industry (cost accounting, possibly tax, etc). Thoughts? Suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
