Looking for a degree that will get you a well paying job? The Anderson School of Management is teaming up with the New Mexico Society of CPA's and the Becker CPA Review to highlight why accounting could be an ideal career choice. The public is invited to learn more about becoming an accountant at two presentations on Monday, Feb. 18 and Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. The sessions will be held at the UNM Student Union Building. Admission is free.
The presentations will look at the benefits of becoming an accountant, the requirements to become a CPA, what types of jobs are available and the salary and future earning potential of accountants. One of the greatest benefits of entering the accounting field is the range of jobs available. Joni Young, chair of the Anderson Accounting Department, says the career tracks within accounting are as varied as accountants.
"Careers include audit services, law enforcement, nonprofit organizations, governmental entities and corporations," says Young. "Accountants can also be involved in forensic work, litigation support -- the possibilities are almost endless."
Another plus is the demand for accounts. Currently the need for accountants in Albuquerque is far greater than the number of qualified people available for hire. For more information about the presentations contact Suzette Dawson at (505) 828-3667 or sdawson@beckerreview.com. Everyone is welcome regardless of their educational background.
