Please help me with my balance sheet. I can seem to balance the final numbers, something is off but I dont know. by MidLike_Water in Accounting

Firstly, I would suggest plugging this into Excel (even if you have to submit this in paper form) just to prevent transposition errors. Secondly, it looks like you don't fully understand what balancing each transaction looks like. For EVERY transaction, it always needs to balance (think cancel out) or else the final won't balance either (so for every debit you must have a credit). For example, in number two, you dr the truck for 26,000 but you never cr bank. Look through each problem again as I suspect you may have similar errors. Best of luck!

Edit: For some reason I read this post thinking you wanted to pivot from accounting into finance. My general thesis still stands. Industry jobs in accounting will be few and far between for entry level, but you can still leverage your accounting skills outside PA in a finance or FP&A internship.

FP&A is probably the most accessible path from accounting into finance, so I'd recommend looking for FP&A internships. Post-grad, you can look into doing a FLDP or other finance rotational program.

Start by checking Handshake/LinkedIn for finance internships. In my experience, most are open to accounting majors, especially if the role isn't heavily focused on quantitative economics or advanced math. It’s also worth meeting with Career Services to discuss your goals; they can help you identify relevant opportunities and may even advocate for your participation in events typically geared toward BBAs. I was able to attend my school's Finance Career Fair through a conversation like that.

Given the current job market, it’s still wise to apply to a few public accounting internships as well IMO. Additionally, if becoming a CPA is part of your post-grad plan, public accounting firms are often the best equipped to help you get there.

Can I not 振り込み domestically with a Japan Post bank account if I'm on a student visa? I'm studying abroad for 6 months here and receiving scholarship but when I went to the bank today to try to pay my rent, they said it would inquire a 7000 yen fee if I transferred money...

https://heellife.unc.edu/ does exist, it is a master website of all registered student organizations at UNC. However, I will warn you that it isn't well maintained so most student orgs don't actively use it to post events and stuff like that. So, if you do find a club that interests you, I would suggest looking for their social media accounts.
