career opportunities in accounting

challenging, exciting and diverse

accounting is considered to be one of the most challenging business disciplines and attracts competent 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . professional accountants are multi-talented individuals who combine a mixture of specialized knowledge with professional experience. accountants are normally required to have a working knowledge of financial reporting, management accounting, auditing, taxation, finance and information technology. recent trends in globalization along with the widespread adoption of international financial reporting standards have increased opportunities for accountants to travel and work internationally.

an accounting major provides you with the foundational skills and knowledge required to become a professional. graduates of accounting programs pursue accounting designations, along with designations in finance (e.g., chartered business valuator and chartered financial analysts) or various other speciality areas (e.g., certified fraud examiner).

career advancement

accounting offers many rewarding careers. accountants can find rewarding careers in professional practice, private businesses, non-profit organizations, government agencies or work independently as their own boss. obtaining a professional designation is a great way to set yourself apart from many other university graduates, and helps you climb the corporate ladder to become an executive.

accountants can also pursue a career in academia. currently, there is a shortage of academically and professionally trained accountants and the demand for faculty members at colleges and universities is consistently high. accountants in academia are able to perform cutting edge research, teach the future generation, and develop high quality programs.

rewarding and secure

after finding their passion, many individuals consider compensation when selecting a career path. accountants are in high demand. as a result, professional accountants enjoy high levels of job security and above average compensation. according to the chartered professional accountants (cpa) profession compensation survey, the 2013 mean average compensation of canada’s professional accountants in all working sectors, age, ranges and regions in the country was $141,000 per annum.
