The profession of accounting offers stimulating and challenging work that is constantly evolving. Because accountants spend considerable time ‘looking under the hood’ of businesses, they also learn how these businesses work.

In larger companies, they may have specific concentrations, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable or payroll, among many other areas.
