Career Opportunities Every organization that collects and spends money needs accountants. Accountants work for large organizations, like General Motors, and for small ones, like a rock band. They work for privately owned or publicly owned companies, for-profit or not-for-profit organizations. Accountants are well trained to own their own businesses-and many do. They can work for the government, are well prepared to go on to law or graduate school, or they can work for an accounting firm. Accountants can specialize in not-for-profit accounting, in auditing, in taxation, in computer applications, or in business consulting. In small to medium size firms, many accountants often do not specialize. Instead, they love the variety and challenge that comes from working in many areas. The choice is yours and it is wide open.
