We spent 30 minutes talking about my work as a forensic accountant, with a focus on how I got into the specialty and how I developed my forensic accounting practice. Mark and I talked about things like:
- I started out as a criminology major who wanted to become a prison warden someday
- A class on financial crimes investigations caused me to change course and become an accountant
- I used my time at Arthur Andersen to learn how accounting works in the real world (rather than just solving textbook accounting problems)
- How I made a career move to a forensic accounting firm before I started my own firm
- Using fixed fees in forensic accounting engagements for the past 21 years
- How I developed a client base
- Why I’ve been a solo practitioner for 21 years
- Why you should feel nervous before you testify as an expert witness
- Managing the ebb and flow of work and how quickly I can complete a case
