Your Career

Build an accounting career without limits. A Jenkins MAC opens doors across industries and specialties, with dedicated career support to help you find your path.

Discover What’s Possible With a Career in Accounting

Accounting expertise can take you almost anywhere. Jenkins MAC graduates build careers across industries and sectors, with opportunities spanning public accounting, corporate finance, advisory, risk, technology, government, nonprofits and more. Whether you have a specific career in mind or want the flexibility to explore where your skills can take you, the MAC provides a foundation for long-term growth and leadership.

The Jenkins MAC Career Services team knows a one-size-fits all approach isn’t the best way to support individual career growth, so we take a tailored approach to serve our on-campus and online MAC students. Opportunities include:

  • In-person and virtual career workshops
  • In-person recruitment events
  • Personalized career counseling and support

MAC graduates go on to be leaders at top companies and organizations, including BDO, Credit Suisse, Deloitte and the N.C. Office of the State Auditor — and every year, nearly 100% of NC State MAC students are employed by graduation.

“The knowledge and skills I learned in the program continue to pay dividends for me and have allowed me to succeed across different roles within accounting and finance, as well as within different industries.”
