In business, it all comes down to the bottom line and accountants make sure it all adds up. With stricter federal standards for accurate corporate book-keeping, accounting professionals are in greater demand than ever before. Successful accountants are highly-analytical and extremely detail oriented. They are responsible for maintaining organized records on the most fundamental aspect of any business: The flow of revenue into the company, and the cost output of operating the business. Accountants are responsible for budgeting, financial performance evaluation, asset management, and strategic financial planning.
A four-year bachelor’s degree in accounting will prepare you for any of the three main types of certified accounting: Certified Public Accounting (CPA), Certified Internal Auditing (CIA), or Certified Management Accounting (CMA). The field of accounting is one of the fastest growing and most secure professions in America, currently employing nearly 1.5 million people. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects fast growth in this vital profession with an expected 18% increase in the number of people employed as accountants in the next few years. Those who have earned degrees in accounting can expect comfortable incomes. Most earn between $42,000 and $72,000 yearly, while the top 10% earn an average of nearly $95,000 a year.
