Look into financial statement analysis- intro accounting will teach you basic journaling and vocabulary but I’ve found understanding how to read statements and their impacts to be more helpful

Perfect, OP - classes (take 102 as well) will equip you with a mental model as well as the vocabulary.

Helps immensely with culture buy in as well as competency.

What skills or tools do you use currently?

Typical analytic tools like SQL, python, VBA - but haven’t been focus on fraud and am worried about struggling with the accounting related to the job.

Okay great! Thanks P1 really appreciate it!

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!
