i'm at a big 4

there is no need to get the MS

however, knowing enough to converse about accounting is INTEGRAL to many areas of consulting

even in SC you have to know what financial statements are and impacts to financial statements of organizational change

in TC you're often implementing accounting systems

in MC you have jobs that are accounting related even if you do no real accounting work (what functions do you think you're doing process assessments for...)

in short, don't do the MS but don't take accounting knowledge for granted. only take an extra year or semester for the MS if you struck out in recruiting and need another year of OCR
