What kind of accounting position should I be looking for?



I have not worked in the accounting profession because I decided to stay at home with my kids. I have a BS in accounting a MS in accounting and financial management and have taken one part of the CPA exam, I plan to finish up this year. What type of entry level position should I apply for and what companies or firms should I be looking at.

something or other analyst in a private firm. you may find it possible to enter public accounting as well with a small, local firm.

the specific designations will vary. choose an industry you like -- your interest shows in interviews.

I was going to say that it will be hard to find a job because you weren't working for a while, but since you have a MS, it shouldn't be a problem.
I would look for a big four position, I think one of the big 4 is in chicago. If there isn't a big four company, try to work for a big firm, since you have a master's, most people with a master's work in a big firm.
Good luck!
(once you pass the cpa exam, you really should not have a problem getting a high-paying job)
Find a job with the more reputable audit firms. Get trained on the job first. And finish your exam and get the degree. There would be no limit as to what position you can go after, after that.
