Unless you have a compelling story for why you're now seeking a phd in accounting, I'd have a hard time giving you an offer over someone else. For whatever reason, there are several people in this year's applicant pool who have a business-related phd already, and some of them didn't even mention it in their statement. Instant turn-off.
