How important is it to get your CPA in the long run/ outside of big 4? Would CFE be beneficial? I’m a forensics staff.

So do any of the other big 4 have pension plans like EY?

Chances of getting into a top 10? Mexican American male(1st gen). 5 years in b4, 4 in FAAS 1 in audit. 3.4 gpa accounting from state school in cali and 710gmat

Where would you say the line would be for going advisory @ big 4 to an investment bank? Obviously depends on the firm but would you say you wouldn’t go to a firm under a certain size? I.e. I would love to hear your thoughts on if I should go from b4 to a boutique with ~15 people?

I haven’t really been enjoying being an industry accountant. After 4 years in B4 audit and 1.5 in industry I’m really starting to think about going back to maybe a GT, RSM, or BDO type firm

How does PERMs work for non-technical, common roles? Like I know there’s a lot or people who’d want to work for big 4 or tech firms (ex. Tech firm senior auditor roles, there’s probably a lot of applicants with similar backgrounds) - in this case I find it hard to believe that they won’t find a qualified applicant since those roles are so popular / experience standard is not as rigorous.. is it common for PERMs to fail?

If you were going to be a partner in a national non-big 4 firm, which one would you pick and why?

Looking for a fraud investigations lead or manager role that’s remote. 10 YOE and CFE. Any leads?

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Forensics pays well compared to most areas of finance/accounting, but I’m curious why we don’t charge more and pay closer to law/MC/IB?

Our clients depend on us to win or lose sometimes billions of dollars for them on a given project. We work extensively with financial modeling (IB), exec/client-facing work, presentations, visualizations, slides (MC) and logical arguments, investigation, heavy reading, extensive writing (Law) as well as some tech, stats, data science, and standard accounting

I am a CFE, but my primary role is accounting advisory. Are there ways that I can still continue to expand my practical knowledge about the forensic accounting profession (getting involved with the ACFE and other orgs, volunteering, etc.) without switching over to a forensic accounting role entirely?
