I'm 24 years old, about to receive my Master of Accountancy degree, and I just don't feel as sophisticated, eloquent, articulate, etc. as someone with my sort of credentials should.

Anything by Oscar Wilde.
If you can't actually be sophisticated, at least give the appearance of looking as such.

I have the same degree as you do and three years working in fund accounting for Deloitte. Believe me, most auditors I know can't make a sentence without a mistake and nobody actually care about how you write or speak. Most emails have no punctuation and long reports are filled with stupid errors a dedicated team has to check and correct later.
