The annual Meet the Firms event has continued to be a great opportunity for our business students to make employment connections, enhance their experience in interacting with employers and, of course, get internships and secure employment. Made possible by the School of Business, Career Services, and the Accounting Society, this event brings top employers to campus to network with the undergraduate and graduate students who are studying accounting or finance. Prepared with a solid resume and great interview skills, students are able to interact and connect with hiring accounting and finance firms and many secure internships or full-time positions. We are grateful to the firms that participate each year and actively recruit from the business school. This year, that included: Haddox Reid Eubank and Betts; BKD, LLP; Silas Simmons, LLP; Blue Cross Blue Shield of MS; May & Co.; Harper Rains Knight & Company; MDOR; Carr Riggs & Ingram; Matthews Cutrer and Lindsay; Trustmark National Bank; MS Office of the State Auditor; GranthamPoole PLLC; HORNE LLP, Community Bank; Wells Fargo; C Spire; and MS Society of CPAs. Accounting Society sponsor Dr. Taylor Corso said, “Meet the Firms is a great opportunity for students who want to start a career in public accounting and for finance majors looking for an entry positions in their area. It connects future employers with students and aids in setting up interviews, making the entire hiring process extremely smooth.”
