What are the top national forensics firms in the US? I’m currently in audit at a big4 and would love to get into forensics. My firm obviously won’t allow me to transfer within, so I want to learn about my external options. Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Depends on focus area. Everyone kind of has their own respective niches. In no particular order, the top tier is probably PwC, Deloitte, Alvarez & Marsal, AlixPartners, FTI, and Kroll. Beyond that there’s not really a consensus but there’s still a few really strong players

Wells Fargo 1: thank you for your response. I am trying avoid government options at this point, primarily due to the cons you mentioned. Are white collar crimes investigation opportunities only available in government or are there firms that participate in such work? If the answer is the former, what would be the closest related type of work at firms?

Why can’t you transfer within?

To answer your question, depends on what you are interested in. Forensics covers a wide range of areas and different forms have different strengths. T2 likely pay the best (AlixPartners, A&M, Ankura, maybe FTI now but heard in past they were lower).

Thank you for your response. I would like to do financial crimes and litigation. I can’t transfer within for multiple reasons but primarily because there are staffing shortages and therefore teams don’t like to give up their staff and discourage/block employees from transferring within. Additionally, in the interest of full transparency, internally, my reviews are available to them and forensics within will only take high performers, which I’m not on paper, which is only circumstantial, due to a rocky virtual transition from a midsize firm at the beginning of COVID when they didn’t yet figure out how to onboard properly in such an environment and bad managers (not just my opinion, but anyone who has worked with her) along the way.

Which firms would you say focus on financial crimes and litigation?

Transfer to another Big4
