Hi and thank you for stopping by the Accounting Club website! Explore our website to learn more about the club, find information regarding our info nights, frequently asked questions, how to join, and more!

 

Accounting Club offers several professional, social, and philanthropy events each week for members and is open to students from all majors. Our events allow members to network with top accounting firm recruiters for audit, tax, and advisory roles, socialize with fellow members, and to give back to the Champaign-Urbana community. Alongside these events, Accounting Club also has several professional development opportunities in the form of workshops, a case competition, and a mentorship program that provides members with an opportunity to form connections and gather insights from upper-classmen. 

 

To introduce myself, my name is Aicia and I’m a junior majoring in Accounting + Data Science. I’m from Dunlap, Illinois which is just north of Peoria, and in my free time, I love side questing with my friends (when in Dunlap, this typically means going to Walmart). Fun fact: two out of my three roommates are also club presidents! 

 

During my first semester on campus, I actually was too late for the Accounting Club dues deadline and was too scared to ask if I could still join (I now know the answer would have been yes). When I joined in my second semester after a full semester of waiting, I realized how much I had missed out on. Accounting Club offers exposure to firms and gets your name and email into their system which is a crucial element of recruiting that the clubs I was in during my first semester didn’t have. Beyond accelerating my professional growth, our club is vast and filled with amazing people who I’m grateful to have been introduced to and brought closer to. 

​​

The Accounting Club is and will always strive to be one of the most accessible clubs on campus; there’s no selection process for members, leadership opportunities are open to everyone, and we always do our best to accommodate member feedback. I have personally found that the purpose of this club, to provide opportunity to anyone who seeks it without boundaries, is extremely motivating. I hope that you’ll consider joining the Accounting Club and grow alongside our community. Always feel free to reach out to me or anyone else on exec. We’re always happy to chat and learn more about our members. Cheers to a great year ahead!

 

Warmly, 

Aicia Sun
