Dear Mr. Krost,

I was informed about the accounting internship opening at Phunware, Inc. by Marissa Finkelman and I am very interested. Marissa and I have been close friends for over three years and I was excited to hear about this opportunity that she shared with me. I am currently a sophomore in the McCombs School of Business with a major in accounting and a minor in finance. In addition, I plan to pursue the Integrated MPA program to earn my BBA and MPA in 5 years. I have a strong desire to pursue a career in accounting, and my previous experience and leadership roles have prepared me well for this position.

Last spring, I worked as a tax intern at the Municipal Council of Texas while learning about financial analysis from the professionals around me. I enjoyed being in a professional setting and learning more about the careers of financial analysts and tax accountants. In addition, I am the Vice President of Finance of a sorority made up of 250 members, Alpha Epsilon Phi. I utilize excel to track membership dues, external contributions, house payments, and the sorority’s expenditures. I also present a financial update and corresponding statements to our executive board on a monthly basis while meeting weekly with a CPA. I am also involved in McCombs as a member of the McCombs Leadership Program and a Founder and Outreach Director of the McCombs Jewish Business Students Association. This involvement has allowed me to engage my leadership skills around other business students and utilize teamwork on a daily basis.

I am a very driven individual with a passion for creating success in my future. Responsibility is one of my key attributes and I exercise this through abundant organization and planning. I am excited about my potential as an accountant and believe that my background makes me a great candidate for this Accounting Internship at Phunware, Inc. I have enclosed my resume with more information for your review and

    Samuel Tiras is the Department Chairman in the E.J. Ourso College of Business Accounting Department at Louisiana State University. His job consists of full management of the accounting department, evaluation of performance, fundraising, handling student complaints, research, and evaluating tenure requests responsive to demands from the dean. Sam spends most of his time during the day in meetings, talking to people about various issues concerning the department, or its research. For a desk job, he does not stay in one place all the time, rather he is mostly up moving around from one place to another, working on whatever needs to be focused on at that time. Giving advice to students about their career decisions is one of Sam’s favorite things about his job, whereas his least favorite is handling the constraints of the budget and faculty evaluations. Before working here at LSU, Sam started off working as an international auditor at the age of 23, traveling to many different places, as well as living in the Northwest for some years. After that experience, he continued to find jobs within universities, until he came upon the opportunity at LSU, which he stated, “sort of just fell into my lap”. When the position was offered to him, his motive was because he wanted to see the accounting department to move in the direction he desired, in order for it to improve with its teaching research and service missions. He thinks his job is a fun one, sometimes a bit difficult, but much easier now working atmosphere, always learning something new and never has anything too repetitive to deal with. He enjoys his job very much, is comfortable where he is, and is not sure if he would take on any new options given to him right now. He advises anyone interested in this field to prepare to be flexible, and to find time to be able to concentrate on your own research.…

    The statistics paired with the knowledge displayed by Villanova alumni member and Professor Michael Decosmo throughout my undergrad education, clearly indicate that this program is my best option to achieve my goals. After meeting with Professor Decosmo and explaining my situation, he instilled a sense of certainty that applying for this program will unquestionably suit my needs. The basic fundamentals of accounting are extremely important, however being able to apply those theories to the bigger picture of the business world is another promising factor of the program.
