By representing financials honestly, accounting is critical in giving accurate assessment to the past and providing constructive suggestions to the future. During study of accounting in XXX as an undergraduate, I discovered this is exactly what I want to do. Driven by the craving for in-depth knowledge and skills in accounting, I am determined to pursue graduate studies in this field. Here I am applying to the Master of Accounting program at USC as it perfectly fits my aspirations for professional development.
In the short run, I will prepare for the Uniform CPA Exam during graduate studies and pass the Exam as soon as possible. Upon graduation, I would seek a job in a renowned accounting firm such as the Big Four to undertake auditing work. After accumulating abundant experience of public accounting, I will shift to the direction of corporate accounting, gaining professional experience in financial management and internal auditing. Meanwhile, I expect to gain management experience, making preparations for future MBA studies. With plenty of work experience, seeking a MBA degree will be my next step so as to enhance my management and leadership skills. With the knowledge and skills I acquired from MBA studies, I will continue my career in the direction of corporate accounting, endeavoring to become a qualified CFO.
The MAcc degree at USC could help me realize my career goals in the following ways. Firstly, this one-year program could sit me for the Uniform CPA Exam in an efficient and economical way. Secondly, the curriculum of this program is really attractive, providing students with great flexibility and considerable choices. In this program not only could I receive in-depth training in auditing, but also gain valuable knowledge in corporate accounting and management. I’ve also learned that I could take courses with the MBAs, which must be helpful for my future
