Have you talked to your career center about an alumni network? Maybe another graduate would be willing to help. You do sound qualified.

Have you registered with some temp agencies? Some specialize in high-level office work, which could give you a foot in a door. Some of those jobs become permanent, too. And some agencies specialize in accounting or finance or computer jobs. There are big national agencies and small local ones; I’d try both. Sometimes the big ones just throw bodies at jobs, but sometimes they have great contacts and make very careful matches. Just be sure you aren’t paying any fees to an agency; the employer should pay the fees.
