Accounting

An accounting degree from AMU will prepare you for employment with an accounting firm, a for-profit business or a nonprofit organization. You’ll be ready to become a Certified Public Accountant if you choose. Above all, you will distinguish yourself as a highly competent and ethical person who will be valued by employers.

1. Financial analysis. Employers are always seeking people who can manage finances and budgets. This means you can find a job at any kind of business. You can even start up your own business — being well-versed in the financial aspects of running a business puts you at a huge advantage.

2. Tax accounting. You can help individuals or organizations understand, complete, and even save on their taxes every year. By applying these skills with care and integrity, you can become a trusted point-person who people will come to again and again.

3. Auditing. As a professional auditor, you can help businesses operate efficiently and even more successfully. Businesses large and small rely on auditors working behind the scenes to protect their assets and keep them up-to-date with legal standards.
