Tbh who cares about your bridges as a first year. Just be polite and professional when you do it. Also no offense but they’ll probably be okay, you’re easily replaceable at this stage

I completely agree with what everyone is saying - do what’s best for you... but one thing to consider - you have a looooong career ahead of you. Monthly close gets old really quick. I hope it’s a company and position that will keep you challenged so you aren’t just reviewing the same journal entries month after month.

For those who have obtained the CFF certification:
I was asked to put together a working plan to obtain my CFF credential. I’m aware of the 2 certificate program (Core and Specialized) through the AICPA that will lead to the CFF. Does anyone have experience in how long it would take to complete the certificates and if there are other necessary or helpful study materials that would be useful? For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
