Excel, Excel, Excel.

It amazes me how little some schools prepare people in Excel, if you aren't at an intermediate level, do yourself a favor and grab a book. Adjusting to working FT and then some is hard enough will have some decent Excel skills.

Other than that, some Word, and our proprietary engagement management software (currently transitioning from a very simple program, to a not so simple program LOL)

Yes, engagement management software. I was going to add that tidbit in as well, but I wasn't quite sure how to explain what exactly that is. PwC uses Aura, which looks basically like a Microsoft Office program. You can't really train beforehand how to use it, since it's proprietary as far as I know.
