How can an accounting graduate find a job in the United States?

Accounting taught in the United States is very different from that in China.

First, the systems used are different.

The United States uses the American System, while China uses the International Standard.

The fundamental difference lies in accounting laws, accounting systems and the establishment process of these regulations and systems.

Accounting is a management method designed by humans and is completely based on the system.

Once the laws and regulations are different, the behavior and results cannot be the same.

There are many independent accounting associations in the United States, the most important of which are FASB for companies and GASB for government agencies and non-profit organizations. They are responsible for designing, formulating and supervising the implementation of accounting systems, including listening to feedback from companies and departments.

opinions, and problems encountered in implementation.

Being an accountant in the United States does not require an accounting certificate, but there is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) system.

Accounting is a highly professional profession, and the accounting systems between China and the United States are very different. It is not easy to find a job back home. However, it is very easy for American students majoring in accounting to find jobs. This industry, like the pharmaceutical industry, is basically not affected by economic downturns.

In the United States, taxation is the highlight of accounting work and the main focus of international students.

Large American companies and accounting firms have always been short of tax accountants.

The U.S. tax laws are complex and cumbersome, and filling out income tax returns and tax refund forms for taxpayers is also an important income for accountants.

If you want to have more room to choose a workplace in the future, it may be more suitable to focus on auditing, because most companies need internal auditors.

Accounting graduate students trained in business schools can also work as consultants in consulting companies, accounting firms or some large companies. Large accounting firms all provide business consulting services.

If you graduate with a PhD in accounting and return to China, you may be able to teach or do research at a university.

However, what master students learn is more practical, and the theoretical foundation for research seems not enough. I am afraid it will not be easy to find a suitable operating environment in China. Maybe I can go to a US-funded or multinational company and return to my country to find a job with my English skills and the qualities cultivated in business schools.

There is nothing wrong with white-collar jobs, but it is a waste of resources to learn things that are not used.

Let’s take a look at the employment situation of some US accounting master’s schools: University of Notre Dame, ranked in the top 20 overall.

Judging from the school's statistics in 2009, 65% of the school's accounting master's degree graduates are in the BIG4 international accounting firms (referred to as the Big Four, including KPMG, PwC, DTT Deloitte and E&Y Ernst & Young)

To find a job, 8% of students also find jobs in other accounting companies.

Only 13% are unemployed, including those who are unemployed.

Therefore, the employment prospects at this school are good.

University of Texas at Austin (University of Texas at Austin Campus), although the school's overall ranking is not very high, its graduate accounting major ranks first in the United States.

University of Michigan_Ann Arbor (University of Michigan Ann Arbor), ranked 29th overall, has good employment prospects.

The school's accounting major is internationally recognized, and graduates mostly work in management consulting, investment banking and other institutions. The Ross Employment Office will provide students with internship opportunities in national institutions; it is worth mentioning that the school has already provided students with internship opportunities before enrolling.

Summer internship opportunities allow students to get in touch with corporate culture early and plan their career direction.

Employment data in 2009 shows that 82.1% of graduates received corporate offers within three months, and the employment rate is very high.

The internship period fills the vacancies for college graduates who have no work experience, so that after graduation, students will not miss out on many good jobs due to lack of work experience.
