Employment Visas
CPA firms have different general visa sponsorship policies for entry-level foreign
nationals. It is your responsibility to become knowledgeable about your visa requirements to permanently work in the United States. If you are an international
student who requires sponsorship, you’re advised to check with the firm about
its sponsorship policy.
Internships
Internships are a good path to full-time employment. A little over 60% of the
firms hire summer interns and for the most part, the demand is met. Approximately 89% of the firms hire winter interns and many of these firms reported
that they would hire more if they were available.
