Search Accounting Jobs in FloridaAccounting OPT Sponsorship Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
Which accounting companies sponsor F-1 OPT visas in Florida?
The Big Four firms, Deloitte, PwC, Ernst & Young, and KPMG, all have Florida offices and have historically hired F-1 OPT candidates in accounting roles. Regional firms such as RSM, BDO, and CohnReznick also have a Florida presence and have sponsored OPT workers. Many mid-size firms in Miami's international business sector hire accounting graduates on OPT, particularly for roles serving Latin American clients.
Which cities in Florida have the most accounting F-1 OPT sponsorship jobs?
Miami leads for accounting OPT opportunities given its concentration of multinational companies, international banks, and firms serving Latin American markets. Tampa has a growing professional services sector with several large accounting firms operating regional headquarters there. Orlando also offers opportunities, particularly with hospitality and healthcare industry clients that require significant accounting support. Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville round out the top markets.
What types of accounting roles typically qualify for F-1 OPT sponsorship?
Roles that commonly qualify include staff accountant, audit associate, tax associate, financial analyst, and accounts payable or receivable specialist. These positions generally require a degree directly related to the work performed, which aligns well with accounting and finance graduates. Advisory and forensic accounting roles at larger firms also regularly hire OPT candidates. Positions should be in your degree field to properly fall within F-1 OPT authorization requirements.
How do I find accounting F-1 OPT sponsorship jobs in Florida?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international students and filters accounting jobs in Florida that are open to F-1 OPT candidates, saving you from sifting through listings that don't sponsor. Beyond using Migrate Mate, attending Florida CPA Society events and university career fairs at the University of Florida, University of Miami, or Florida State University can connect you directly with recruiting contacts at sponsoring firms.
Are there any Florida-specific considerations for F-1 OPT accounting sponsorship?
Florida's large international business community, especially in Miami-Dade County, means many accounting employers are familiar with hiring international candidates and navigating OPT work authorization. However, OPT authorization is time-limited, so employers in Florida, like elsewhere, will often assess whether a role qualifies for H-1B visa sponsorship before or alongside hiring on OPT. Accounting roles at CPA firms typically meet specialty occupation standards, which matters for any eventual H-1B transition.
