The degree is also useful to managers who are exposed to accounting on a day-to-day basis.

Outcomes

Financial accountant

A financial accountant is responsible for running the accounting and financial activities of an organisation. They analyse the economic stability of the company and provide financial information to other departments, enabling these departments to make budgeting and investment decisions. A financial accountant reports on costs, productivity, margins, and company expenditures.

Wealth manager

Wealth managers use their accounting and financial expertise to help clients grow their wealth. Serving as trusted consultants to high-net-worth individuals or families, they create strategic plans based on their clients’ objectives and financial profile, encompassing investments, insurance, mutual funds, trust and estate taxes, and retirement. Many wealth managers work in investment firms and banks, but it’s common for them to be self-employed.

Business analyst

The projected job growth over the next five years for business analysts is 29.6% making the profession in high demand across various industries. Business analysts help businesses to improve their systems and processes through data analysis.
