Who can apply?
- Applicants must be pursuing a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, economics or a related field and expect to graduate between December 2027 and August 2028.
- Prior experience in forensic investigations, audit, accounting, finance or consulting is helpful but explicitly not required.
- The posting emphasizes analytical and critical thinking, organization, clear communication, Excel and PowerPoint; a second language and interest in credentials such as CPA, CFA or CFE are pluses.
- Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship. The reviewed posting names Washington, DC but does not publish a remote or hybrid schedule.
The employer publishes a graduation-date window rather than a universal junior label; accelerated, transfer and five-year students should compare their actual month and year.

How to apply to Secretariat
- Verify the named major or related-field fit, graduation window, US work authorization without sponsorship and practical Washington, DC availability.
- Select one accounting, economics or research example where you checked evidence, reconciled conflicting information or explained why an assumption changed the conclusion.
- Apply through Secretariat's official form with the required resume; the reviewed form makes the cover letter optional, so include one only when it adds specific evidence.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
Use a small financial-statement, valuation or fraud-risk exercise to show your method: source, normalization, cross-check, anomaly and limitation. Label coursework and simulations clearly.
Practice explaining one spreadsheet model without hiding behind the workbook. State what each input means, which assumption matters most and how you checked for a formula or logic error.
