With an accounting degree, you have a host of career options to choose from. Whether self-employed or hired by a large firm, you could work as a personal finance advisor who makes recommendations and organizes clients’ financial assets and a tax accountant who prepares and files tax documents. You can also work as a budget analyst who helps companies determine budgets, expense, and cash flow policies, an internal auditor who checks for fraudulent activities, or even one of the top executives in a financial institution.
