Read the whole article here.

Companies are specifically looking for CPAs with FAS 141 and 142 expertise, according to Richelle Konian, co-founder and chief executive of Careers on the Move, a New York-based executive placement firm. “They want accountants with experience working on solvency issues, offering fairness opinions, or working in valuing tangible assets,” she says.

Konian says CPAs in this area of accounting should consider obtaining their CFA and ASA designations. She predicts that the New York and New Jersey region will stay hot in this area for some time to come.

Tip #3: Get Off the Floor.

You can capitalize on specialties to get out of trading. Richelle Konian, chief executive and co-founder of Careers On The Move, an executive recruiter based in New York City, has placed a number of traders looking for opportunities related to – but not directly in – the financial services space. “With their knowledge, understanding trades and having a specialty in derivatives, they can go to the software-vendor side and serve as an advisor…. Those familiar with fixed-income products, for instance, could be on the options or derivatives side, and they understand the algorithms and the financial modeling, acting as a great resource on the vendor side.”

For now and for some time to come, risk management software needs will remain high for most firms, particularly on the credit derivatives side of the business.
