Is CPA necessary for such exit roles?

F

Boutiques. AM, AP, Ankura.

Mostly this. I also see a lot of people use those firms to pivot into other areas of advisory/consulting, IB/PE, or corporate finance

I exited from Forensic into M&A Advisory.

So far so good. It’s been a good change, though definitely busier than my forensic days lately.

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!

I'm interested in investigations but also analytics, financial modeling, and expert witness services. Throw in salary potential for bonus points. I'll be getting my CPA, CFE, and CAMS.
