Best Internship to Precede IB

So I'm a freshman at a semi target and am starting to reach out to alum to try and get a PWM internship. I've also been seeking small boutique IB internships but I know this is very unlikely. I have a family friend who works at a local accounting firm that is a no name but I could get some decent experience with statements and such. Would it be better to go and do this internship over the summer or get a BB (think ML/MS) PWM internship? Thanks all
