What should be the next certification that I should get? I have the CFE. I’m targeting the CFCS and the ACAMS as the next ones that I should get. Any thoughts on which one I should get 1st? Pros/Cons

CAMS is easy but pricey. EY puts on the classes every few years and it’s a good way to knock out both the classes and exam in one weekend without having to get approvals for the cost.

Yea. I was thinking about that. I’m not a CPA and was thinking of it would be worth it to go back to school to get the required hours and accounting classes needed as I don’t have an accounting background.

Would it be difficult to get a job in IA if most of my experience has been auditing private non-404 asset mgmt funds? I really enjoy process walkthroughs when I have them though. Also, does title matter that much in IA?

Can title be negotiated?

Is it a big no-no to ever ask a partner wtf is going with the firms turnover rate? I’ve been at my firm for less than a year and several senior associates have jumped ship for better pay and less billables. The safe bet I know is to keep quiet and look for jobs after I gain about half a years worth of more experience. On the other hand, I truly enjoy working with this partner and I’d like to stick along. But morale is LOW and the hours are insane and this isn’t a golden handcuff situation.

So, a loan for one of our apartment complexes in the Chicago area matured. It is a straight up commercial loan—85 units. The lender kept the same 4.20% rate. I’ve already signed the docs, so nothing I can do now. But we’ve got another complex where the loan is maturing next year. I talked to a few people and they said 4.20 % isn’t bad for commercial multifamily, but wanted to know if anyone here had thoughts on this.

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.

For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.
