The Field
Technology and innovation have expanded the role of accountants in the global environment. Accounting is the language that enables individuals to communicate and analyze information about businesses, non-profits, and governmental entities. Accountants are trusted and strategic business advisors who add value by working with people and a variety of data. In June 2020, LinkedIn listed accountants (CPAs) as the number one job with the fastest growing demand and CPAs were among the top 10 of most in-demand jobs.
