Go public!

From the Big Four to national, regional, or local accounting firms, individuals can work in a public accounting environment that appeals to them and choose to pursue options in auditing, tax, or advisory services.

Be more private:

Are you thinking big? Chief Financial Officer (CFO), controller, accounting manager, director of financial reporting, cost accountant, and financial analyst are just a handful of the many positions available in the private accounting sector.

Government is an option:

The federal, state, and local government sectors employ tens of thousands of accounting professionals.

Non-profits:

There are hundreds of thousands of these organizations. Many are small, but some are large, sophisticated organizations (think hospital systems, colleges and universities, and large donor-financed entities, including the American Cancer Society).

Do you love teaching?

For those who love teaching and research, pursuing a PhD in accounting can lead to a tenure-track position teaching at a university.
