Has anyone had experience or know someone that was an FBI special agent for accounting/finance? I am really drawn to this but I am concerned about the 50 hour minimum weeks, including odd hours and having to be on call 24/7.

I am interested in money laundering with the FBI but I have no desire to work public accounting hours once I leave PA...

One of my classmates in grad school about 10 yrs ago was a fraud accountant with the FBI. I don’t recall long weeks standing out but 50 hr weeks is on the short side for an accountant. Being on call also didn’t come up. He had a pretty mundane job.

I went to a NABA meeting where the FBI presented. There’s a difference between the forensic accountants and the special agents. If you reach out to your local FBI field office recruiter, I’m sure they’d be glad to give you more info about what’s involved.

When an organization is not adequately staffed, be sure increase the number of meetings to address how to allocate people. Forcing negotiations at multiple org levels around the same decisions will ensure everyone is totally aligned.

This accomplishes three things:
1) Everyone is mad at each other since they’re competing for people
2) They’re confused and not able to pay attention to the root issue of chronic under staffing
3) They’re distracted from blaming mgmt for the root cause.
