Accounting | Overview 

About the Accounting Department
Accounting is fast becoming one of the hottest careers in business.  Accounting is about much more than numbers. All organizations, whether for-profit, not-for-profit, or governmental, require accounting information to operate successfully.

Financial statements prepared by accountants are used to evaluate the performance of management and to make investing, lending, regulatory and other decisions. Accountants also help organizations analyze revenues and costs, cash flows, tax strategy and planning decisions, investment decisions, and mergers and acquisitions. 

Accounting majors are highly sought after upon graduation. Many accounting majors go on to receive their Master of Accounting degree at Neeley – a one year program – in order to prepare for the Uniform CPA Exam.
