Do other boutique firms usually give more flexibility between accepting an offer and starting? Is it reasonable to ask for a month? Ex: get extended an offer in July but don’t start till August?

You said “more flexibility” - did they set a hard date? Did you ask for time?

I work at a boutique and when I accepted my offer I had a specific circumstance that required me to push my start date to about 1.5 months. Most will be pretty reasonable, and if they're not, probably not worth it.

Not sure but EY gave me over a month

EY gave me 5 months between offer and start date. Told them I was going on paternity leave and they asked me when I wanted to start.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
