Accountants make the world go round
But don’t think that accountants only work in accounting firms. Who runs the numbers on professional sports contracts and major movie deals? Accountants. Who helps the government keep track of the many ways it collects and spends money? Accountants. Who helps tech startups figure out their venture capital needs or the best time to go public? Accountants.
When the time comes, the Pomerantz Career Center offers a wealth of resources to help you find internships, networking opportunities, and your first—or next—accounting job.
There's no telling where you'll go
While serving as a mentor in Tippie Gateway, Anibal Mares Marquez, BBA Accounting, met Minneapolis- and Chicago-based recruiters from PwC, the Big 4 audit firm that sponsors the program. To prep him for what it takes to be employed at PwC, they’re recruiting him for Start, a company diversity internship experience that includes client projects in assurance and tax.
