Do you enjoy problem solving and using technology in a business setting?
Accounting might be your dream job. This highly-respected profession can earn well-deserved prestige and public confidence. People rely on accountants to examine, analyze, and interpret accounting data for the purpose of giving advice and preparing financial statements. Accountants also perform many other tasks vital to management such as preparing state and federal tax returns, and other reports. Responsibilities may also be in business management areas such as budgeting and controlling costs. Accountants perform duties manually and with computer assistance. The use of technology helps teach accounting skills while gaining the computer expertise required to succeed in today's competitive business environment. Plenty of individual attention in small classes, plus a friendly atmosphere, add up to a smooth transition into the job market.
