Leonid’s Adam Nelson chats with Sara Nanchanatt, founder of SN Forensics in New York about her wide-ranging experience of working in forensic accounting and the non-linear career path which led her to becoming an entrepreneur. The pair discuss Sara’s early career and how she ended up working in forensic accounting, how Covid 19 caused a marked shift in both the industry as a whole and her personal journey to founding her own business. One of the key takeaways is understanding how the firm you choose to work for and the cases you are assigned as a junior accountant can have a significant impact on the rate and direction of your future career.
