Internships at Top 4 Firms for Non-SAICA Accredited BCom Accounting Student
Hey everyone!
I’m a second-year BCom Accounting student at Mancosa, and I’m exploring internship options. My degree isn’t SAICA-accredited, so I’m not on the CA stream, but I still have a strong interest in joining one of the “Big Four” firms (Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG) to gain relevant industry experience.
1. What to Look Out For: I’d appreciate any advice on which specific roles or departments to target as a non-CA student. I’m interested in areas like advisory, risk management, data analytics, and tax compliance, but I’m open to other recommendations too.
2. Application Timing: When is the best time to apply for internships at the Big Four? Should I already be preparing and applying now, or is there a typical application season?
3. Improving My Profile: Given that my program isn’t SAICA-accredited, what can I do to make my application stand out? Are there skills, certifications, or experiences I should focus on that might give me an edge?
Any guidance or insights would be incredibly helpful! Thank you!
