Am seriously looking for an internship in Accounting/Finance I have submitted plenty of applications to any openings i find online, I recently completed a paid internship this summer for a non-profit but i am looking for something corporate related, I mostly use indeed and simply hired to search for the internships, however I have had no luck so far? Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could look?
Also Company recruiters usually come to my school to find canadidates to fill their internship positions so i could wait for that but that will only get me an internship for next spring and not this fall.

It seems late for the fall internships. But perhaps you can contact those companies that typically recruit at your school to see if they have any internships. Most places probably don't recruit on campus for fall internships because the recruitment period would be in the summer, when most schools are out of session.
It really depends on your location and the job, but I actually had luck finding an internship off of Craigslist. It was a professional internship in Chicago that worked out well for me. I'm not sure if the world of finance would have internships posted on Craigslist, but it could be worth a shot.
I also agree that it seems a little late for a fall internship. I've already received two emails for companies hiring spring interns.

I think the best way to find an internship is to go straight to the company you want to work with. Often you can find info on their website, but if not you can just call or email about your interest. You can get an "internship" just about anywhere (at least in nonprofits - corporate may be more picky) as long as you don't require official college credit or money. Basically, you're a volunteer in exchange for the experience. I've done it before and it was very effective and could actually have landed me a job at that place if I'd wanted. However, you do have to work for free and make yourself useful in spite of that.
Internships are not wasting time. Waiting until after you graduate college to find any relevant work experience is the biggest time wasting mistake one can make. Trying to find one, two, three internships is nowhere near a vain attempt at gaining experience and anyone who tries to make that claim is stupid.

The problem with non-profit internships is that you get trapped in the non-profit sector which can be very dangerous because continued employment is not guaranteed. I did a 5 month internship with a non-profit which wasn't bad but i want to make some real money lol, I may have to wait for spring to get hopefully a corporate internship. As for working for free I don't mind doing that I just don't want it to become a huge part of my resume because some employers may look down on that.

That is where I found my current internship.
