Incoming Freshmen

Hi, I'm an incoming freshman and going to Syracuse University. I'm wondering what is the best way to secure internships. I'm Interested in internships that provide housing (renting only for the internship is too expensive), any tips and or what internships I should apply to right now for Summer 2027?

Would AI takeover accounting??

I just started a new job at an accounting firm, only two days in, and already found myself in a debate with a coworker about AI's role in accounting. My take was that AI, if built well enough, could realistically handle the vast majority of what we do day-to-day. Their pushback was that AI simply won't be trusted with much of the actual work, since it's seen as unreliable and can't be given access to sensitive client data like tax filings or revenue figures. Curious to hear how others in the field see this playing out.

For those who have failed BS, is this right? Is it fair?

Hello! Incoming 4th year BSA student here. So during first sem ng 3rd year, we had our Law 1 subject. I failed it. Every after semester, merong evaluation ang institute namin for our grades. AFAIK, once you had a failed grade sa program na to, tanggal ka na ang malilipat ka na ng BSMA. However, nung evaluation, the person who evaluated me was my previous professor in partnership and corp accounting and at the same time our department head. Hindi sa pagmamayabang pero I was an excellent student sa subject nya na yon haha! Then, when he reviewed my grades, he noticed na failed nga ako sa ObliCon.

He said,"Naku! magiging irreg ka nito."

Then, I just smiled and replied, "Yes po sir"

Tapos bigla nyang sinabi na papayagan nya akong magproceed sa BSA na kinagulat ko. He said na papayagan nya ako on the condition na dapat hindi na ako magkaron ng failed na grade. He also suggested na itake ko yung Law 1 for 4th year - 1st sem tapos Law 2 for 2nd sem and then summer ko raw itake yung Law 3 para makasabay ako sa mga kaklase ko na makagraduate.

At the time, sobrang saya ko. Now na naka-bakasyon, I think about it and iniisip ko na parang unfair. I was a BSMA before na pumasa sa qualifying exam kaya naging BSA but I had classmates na di nakalipat kahit decimal na lang yung difference to pass.

Also, do you all think na possible yung sinuggest ng professor ko na i-summer yung Law 3 considering na I have OJT for 2nd sem nyan?

Help me please :)

Accounting bachelor student, will pursue CPA

I have not had any of the employment hours to sit for CPA exam, and started my search for internships today.

  1. How can I best position myself internship for a big firm. It doesn't have to be big four. I'm willing to travel for it.

  2. Which specialization best helps prepare for the CPA exam. I'll be hired as tax or audit likely, should I try to work in multiple areas, before the exams, advice would be helpful.

  3. Do you know of any companies that help prepare for CPA, or pay for it possibly?

  4. I want a big firm so that I have job stability. Can you tell me any negatives to working for a big firm, that I'm not considering
