01 — About RAS

At Rutgers Accounting Society, students gain exposure to the people, experiences, and opportunities that shape careers in accounting and beyond. RAS brings together students, professionals, recruiters, alumni, and faculty to create an environment where members can explore career paths, strengthen their professional skills, and build meaningful connections. From public accounting and industry to government and financial regulation, we help members understand where an accounting background can lead.

Diverse career exposure

Access to professionals well beyond Big 4 public accounting, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), financial regulation (NFA), and real estate (EisnerAmper).

02

Professional development

Resume workshops, interview prep, and CPA exam guidance by upperclassmen and firm professionals who've been through the same recruiting cycle.

03

Hands-on community service

Our VITA partnership with the Ironbound Community Corporation gives members real experience preparing free tax returns for low-income and elderly Newark residents.
