Hello, lwg-- and welcome to EF. I suggest:

In my accounting course work, I emphasized financial and managerial accounting skills. In addition to my academic foundation, I gained working experience in accounting from my two summer internships in Hong Kong. I served as an accounting staff assistant to the Senior Accounting Manager at PoTak Limited Co., a logistics company. I assisted in managing the monthly payroll for more than 60 employees. I also managed the accounting of over a hundred shipping invoices daily. Through the hands-on experience of my internships, I have become well organized, with a strong attention to details and accuracy. Along with my accounting skills, I built up a solid foundation of general administrative skills as an Office Assistant at Foothill College. I gained experience in filing and data entry for student files.
