I need a CPA or someone who has passed the exam. I have attached a job description I have used in the past for your reference. Maybe you know of your best accounting students who have graduated in the past few years and might be now looking for a career change.

CPA Study Options

Becker CPA Review
The first flyer is an online schedule for OSU graduates. Students would view multiple lectures each week to stay on track.
The second flyer is announcing something totally unique for OSU. We’ll be hosting “study hall” sessions in Portland (where you said most students land!) on Saturday mornings during the summer for the online class. Going through so much material in such a short time students are bound to have questions. We’ll have study sessions at DeVry University in Beaverton with live instructors helping students get any concepts they might have struggled with.

Intern Opportunity- Pacific Northwest Laboratory Richland, WA

PNNL is a multi-program national lab, operated by Battelle for the Department of Energy. BSD provides finance, accounting, and project support to the lab’s research operations. Each year, BSD hires four to six interns to take part in our summer internship program. We are primarily interested in students who are in their junior, or senior year of college, or who have recently graduated and are majoring in either Finance or Accounting, or who are currently enrolled in an MBA program. Our goal is to find candidates who are well qualified, and who have stated desire to be considered for full-time employment upon graduation if a position is available. Once hired, interns take part in two or more rotational assignments, and are exposed to a variety of PNNL’s Finance and Accounting functions. This is an excellent opportunity for them to learn about our organization, and an opportunity for us to evaluate their potential as a future employee.

The attachment to this email includes information about the Internship, how to apply, Battelle, and PNNL. Thank you in advance for your time and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
