Accounting

Business and Financial Operations is currently one of the fastest growing occupational

groups. The need for accountants, auditors, and bookkeepers is expected to increase in the future.

Accounting, one of the business and financial operations, is one of those fast growing

occupations. Accountants have to be able to use a computer, have skills in mathematics and time

management, be able to pay attention to details, and have the ability to compute, classify, and

record numerical data. Needless to say, there are numerous skills needed to be an accountant, but

it is a career that will continue to be in demand.

To be an accountant, the right education is needed. A bachelors degree in accounting

gives a beginning accountant a great advantage. Many colleges offer business programs that will

help prepare and ready accountants for the real world. Some schools that have the education

needed include Virginia Tech, Virginia Commonwealth University, and George Mason

University. All three of these colleges can provide a bachelors degree in Accounting. Besides the

twenty-four semester hours needed in the class of Accounting or Auditing, beginning

accountants have the option to get a degree in Financial Technology if they wanted to. It would

give them an advantage over others by having another skill to offer. After college, the most

common test that all accountants will need to take is the CPA test or the Certified Public

Accountants test. Most jobs will want this certification. In addition, after college, accountants

can also get a certification in CITP or Certified Information Technology Professional or PFS

meaning Personal Financial Specialist if they would like too.
