In high school, volunteer to manage the finances of a school club. This will provide you with experience preparing a budget, creating financial records, and performing other financial tasks. Read books about private equity accounting. Two suggestions: Private Equity Accounting, Investor Reporting, and Beyond (FT Press, 2015) and Private Equity Accounting: The Global Guide for Private Equity Firms and Fund Accountants (PEI Media Ltd., 2011). Professional accounting and auditing associations provide a wealth of career exploration resources at their Web sites. One especially useful resource is Start Here, Go Places (https://www.startheregoplaces.com), which is sponsored by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
