Hi. I'm undergrad stem major who accepted an offer to join one of the big pod shops. I know financial accounting and can model but won't have any formal coursework in intermediate or advanced accounting, so I wanted to ask what is the extent of accounting knowledge that is needed to be a good fundamental L/S analyst in a pod? And any suggestions to learn what is necessary? Anything is appreciated.

You got a job at a pod and can’t model/do accounting?
Edited post and should have been more clear. Obviously know a decent level of financial accounting and can model but nothing advanced is what I meant.
