Hey All, first post on here. I am currently pursing a Masters degree in accounting at WGU. I want to go into public accounting at a firm, does not need to be a big 4, but would be nice. However, I don’t have any internship experience, but have been working in A/R for a year. Will this help my chances of getting an entry level job? Thanks all!

Go on Handshake and reach out to PA recruiters sooner rather than later. Internship slots for most larger firms have already been filled by juniors and sophomores for the upcoming year. Maybe w/ your previous experience and an understanding PA recruiter, you can slide into their waiting list or get a FT role after you graduate.
