I am currently a staff accountant at a small tax firm. I'm over halfway through my master's degree. I want to go into forensic accounting. I plan on taking the CPA, CFF, CFE, and CFFA exams. I am volunteering as a CASA. After the CPA exam, I plan to look into volunteering for a anti-human trafficking nonprofit with my accounting skills. Are there any other things I should/could be doing to gain experience and be better qualified for a forensic accounting position?

You should probably get into audit instead of tax. Also, it’s nice to have a goal to take a lot of exams, but perhaps focus on the CPA exam and one of the others for now. Unless you want to become a professional test taker, you should focus on OJT instead of expanding your signature block.

I believe concentrating in Auditing is a good area to focus on while preparing for you CPA.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
