I guess the most ideal situation would be to get into 1 of the Big 4 and work my way up the ladder if that would even be possible.
As I said in the PM. getting your CPA would be the best approach. If you work for one of the big 4, they will pay for the exam and all the prep work. To be a CPA, you will need a year under the wing of an auditing firm. You can kill 2 birds with one stone at the same time.
Just remember, you need a Master's in Accounting to qualify to take the CPA exam.
