Overview

The degree in Accounting from the King Graduate School from Monroe University can help you fulfill that potential. It’s designed for people like you: people ready to advance their professional accounting careers.

Key Features

The degree in Accounting program will do more than arm you with the specialized technical knowledge you’ll need to take the Uniform CPA Examination. It will prepare you to thrive in whichever career path you choose.

Whether your goal is to work in private industry, government, the nonprofit sector, or even one of the Big Four accounting firms, you’ll have both the confidence and the credentials to succeed.

Becoming a CPA greatly expands your career opportunities. While non-licensed accountants can have fulfilling, stable careers, they don’t have the authority to perform all of a CPA’s duties. Only CPAs can audit a company’s books, for example, or represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Most states, including New York, also have a 150-hour education requirement for licensure as a CPA. That’s 30 more credit hours than you’ll get with a bachelor’s degree in accounting.

The Accounting degree will not only help you fulfill your licensure requirement, but it will prepare you to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam that all CPAs must pass. The program also offers avenues to fulfill New York State’s professional experience requirements.

If you’re already employed as a non-licensed accountant, your employer may even be able to help pay for your master’s degree. The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) also offers several scholarships for aspiring CPAs, as does the New York State Society of CPAs (NYSSCPA).

Careers

Once you earn your Accounting Master’s Degree, you’ll have already fulfilled one of the most important requirements for CPA licensure. And once you pass the Uniform CPA Exam and fulfill your professional experience requirements, you’ll be ready to take on all the duties of a certified public accountant, including:

Examining financial records to create budget reports, conduct audits, and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws

Calculating tax returns for both businesses and individuals

Preparing financial documents including quarterly earnings reports and expense reports

Conducting forensic accounting examinations to uncover fraud and investigate contract disputes

Advising clients’ financial decisions, such as making recommendations to improve business operations, manage risk, or lower tax liabilities

Your skills as a CPA will be highly portable, too. They’re in demand in every industry and in every sector, including federal, state, and local governments; publicly-traded corporations, privately-owned firms, and nonprofit organizations. You’ll be qualified to take on a range of managerial positions that include:

Corporate accountant

Tax accountant

Personal financial advisor

Forensic accountant

Budget analyst

Internal auditor

Accounting manager

Finance director

Chief financial officer (CFO)
