Hi,
I have a BS in Accounting, as well as a Masters in Forensics, I started working in a forensics practice right out of college, but I have been noticing at many medium size firms forensics can be a lot of matrimonial work which I think I have had enough of. I Anyone have any advice on how to break out of the matrimonial space and do more commercial damages/fraud investigation? Thank you in advance!

Keep crushing on what you’re doing. At a medium firm you’re going to be at the mercy of what work comes in unless you can build relationships with attorneys to spread outside that field.

Please who knows about the advisory practice within the PwC financial crime unit (Canada Acceleration Centre)? I understand it is a client non-facing advisory role.
