Hello,
I'm trying to get an auditor job and haven't been successful. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I recently completed all 4 parts of the CPA exam. I have been working as an office manager/full charge bookkeeper for 2.5 years. Before that, I worked as an accounting clerk for a small CPA office. Basically, my background involves extensive bookkeeping experience and not so much of accounting and not at all of auditing. I graduated 2.5 years ago with BA in Business Administration. My GPA was 2.8. I know it's very low :(.
I want to become an auditor and also want to know what it feels like to work in the Big Four. My questions are:
1. How do I get entry level audit experience with Big Four without an internship?
2. How do I get entry level audit experience with smaller CPA firms without an internship?
3. If internship is the only way and if I pursue a Master of Taxation, what is the chance of me getting an audit internship? The universities close by do not have a Master of Accountancy program. The one that does is quite far away and the program is full time, which means I have to quit my full time job and find a part time job. I'm finding other alternatives before going that route.
Thank you for reading this!
