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.
