Special Agent: Accounting/Finance Backgrounds
About the position
Use your finance and accounting background to become an FBI Special Agent! FBI Special Agents apply their professional expertise and unique skill sets to their work and role every day. Special Agents come from many professional backgrounds, including finance and accounting. Your expertise helps ensure accountability, identify criminal activity, uncover hidden assets and connect the dots to trace transactions to their source. Your diversified financial skills can significantly contribute to all areas of crime solving, from counterintelligence and cybersecurity to organized crime and terrorism. You can expect continued specialized training once onboard and opportunities to work on some of the Bureau's most complex cases. The scope and scale of our investigations provide unique challenges unlike anything you could work on in the private sector. Candidates must adhere to strict standards of conduct and undergo a rigorous background investigation, credit checks, and a polygraph in order to obtain a Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Clearance. They must pass all physical fitness requirements and be physically fit to complete training at the FBI Academy at Quantico, VA, and maintain a high level of fitness throughout their career. Candidates will also need to pass a medical exam, which includes, but is not limited to, meeting visual and hearing standards. Upon graduation from the FBI Academy, candidates must be available to transfer to one of the FBI's 56 Field Offices, including San Juan, Puerto Rico, or remote resident agencies (satellite offices) to meet the needs of the FBI. Special Agents rarely return to their processing office. Applicants should ensure that their families are prepared for and support this move. Throughout their career, they must be available for temporary duty assignments anywhere in the world, on either a temporary or a long-term basis. Special Agents work a minimum of a 50-hour workweek, which may include irregular hours, and be on-call 24/7, including holidays and weekends. They must be willing and able to participate in arrests, execute search warrants, raids, and similar assignments. Additionally, all Special Agent candidates must successfully complete the Special Agent Selection System (SASS), a mentally and physically challenging process designed to find only the most capable applicants. The selection process typically takes one year or more to complete.
