I'm graduating college with a degree in finance in December. I already had one interview with a public accounting firm and have another soon where they said they will make me an offer (about 70 people total work there) and will do mainly auditing but some tax when necessary. My business school is in the top 20 in the nation and I have a very good gpa. I know I should let them say the first number on the salary negotiation. I also used a salary calculator thing from a website that said avg starting salary for this in my area is 46k (if it is correct...). How should I go about the negotiation and what numbers should I put up?

I wouldn't negotiate unless you have at least a couple of offers on the table. I don't know how negotiable companies are with new grads, particularly the big 4, if that's who you interviewed with.
Oh yeah, why not just ask the interviewers what they are making at the company. That ought to get you an offer.

Do your research -- base your salary on what others are making within the company. Just start asking around and you'll get an idea. As a new employee -- regardless of the educational background, they are going to start you at an entry level salary. Also, if you can negotiate more money, maybe you can negotiate days off or comp time or whatever. It isn't always dollars that = salary.

because you've already suggested an perfect revenue decision on your software, it's going to be puzzling so that you'll negotiate a revenue larger than $40K. Negotiating the utmost revenue conceivable is important because all destiny will strengthen will be in accordance with a percentage of your revenue--the better the revenue; the better the percentage. you isn't in a position to capture up until eventually you modify jobs.
