About Ella Thomas

I\'m a senior at North Carolina State University pursuing a B.S. in Accounting with aspirations to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). I\'m passionate about uncovering the \"why\" behind the numbers and using financial information to tell a story, especially in the world of forensic accounting and financial investigation. With a strong foundation in accounting principles and a genuine love for working with people. I thrive in team settings, value integrity, and am always looking to grow both professionally and personally. This summer, I gained real world experience at Forever Clean, as an Accounts Receivable intern, where I learned how real world accounting functions support business operations and customer relationships!Lets connect! I am always open to learning, collaborating, or discussing career paths in accounting and beyond.
