Accountants are experts in financial management for both individuals and collective enterprises, including businesses and government entities. The field is divided into two specialty areas: professional
accounting, which includes the CPA and private tax preparation, and managerial accounting, which covers industrial and
institutional enterprises. Accountants must have expertise in business practice, computer skills and mathematics.
There is always a strong demand for well-trained accounting professionals. Your NYIT degree will prepare you to work as a professional or managerial accountant in business, government, academia or as a private practitioner. You’ll also be prepared for advanced study in accounting or other business fields. If you specialize in professional accounting, you’ll have the academic requirements to sit for the CPA exam in most states..
