Career Outlook with an Undergraduate Accounting Certificate
The undergraduate accounting certificate is a strong complement to an associate or bachelor’s degree, especially for anyone who may already have a bachelor’s degree in a non-business field. Whether you need basic skills for entry-level positions or want to gain knowledge for promotion or job transfer within your current organization, this certificate could help you get closer to your end goal.
Earning an accounting certificate provides a solid foundation in accounting principles and practices. This work can prepare you for entry-level accounting positions in nearly any industry. With a suite of general accounting courses under your belt, you should be ready to start or advance in an exciting career in accounting, auditing or even finance.
A certificate alone, however, may not be enough to qualify you for all accounting-related opportunities. A bachelor's degree in a related field, such as business, is generally a necessary accompaniment, at minimum.
If your interest is in applying the knowledge you gain from online accounting courses toward an entry-level job in bookkeeping, accounting and auditing – each role critical to the financial health of an organization – there are many possible career paths where you could benefit from an accredited accounting certification program online:
- Bookkeeping, accounting and auditing clerk: In this role, you may oversee a company’s financial inputs and outputs and budget. You may be responsible for maintaining the books showing all accounts payable and receivable. You may also be in charge of processing payroll and completing other work such as producing financial reports and making general ledger entries. The 2021 median pay for these clerks was $45,560.1
- Accounting technician or assistant: These entry-level roles involve managing day-to-day accounting tasks. You may prepare financial reports, handle petty cash or conduct general office administration such as invoicing and communicating with vendors. General accounting duties are the hallmark of this role, including reconciling bank statements, recording revenue or managing accounts receivable and customer billing.
- Auditing clerk: Attention to detail is a particular must with this role, as the auditing clerk will combine bookkeeping, accounting and general financial recording for an organization. Ensuring accuracy across all financial documents is key.
- Financial clerk: Administrative financial work is one part of this role, while the main responsibilities include record keeping and financial reporting. The 2021 median salary for the role was $44,760.1
- Accounts payable and accounts receivable administrator: Every company has money that goes out and comes in, and needs a professional to manage that flow. Serving as an administrator of accounts payable, accounts receivable or both means you may track that cash flow and ensure that bills are paid on time, on an incoming and outgoing basis.
Career Outlook with a Graduate Accounting Certificate
A graduate certificate in accounting can help open doors in many different ways. You may, for example, have a degree outside of accounting, but want to get a formalized education to show employers your accounting skills. Maybe you're working in the field and want to upskill, or hope to eventually earn an MS in Accounting.
A graduate accounting certificate can even help support students who are planning to take the CPA certificate exam by offering graduate level accounting credit that can be applied toward the 150 credits of accounting coursework needed in most states to sit for the exam.
For Andrew Cyr '21, the certificate courses helped him advance his career.
"My boss was the one that recommended I consider taking some accounting courses to add another tool in my toolbox," he said. "He was extremely pleased when I started taking my courses at SNHU, and it helped me check another box that ultimately led to additional responsibilities and a promotion."
Completion of the program can open doors into general or niche accounting roles. Offering specialized teachings in cost accounting, financial accounting, auditing and federal taxation, graduates should be prepared to work for organizations or with clients with diverse accounting needs.
A graduate accounting certificate presents many opportunities including providing the skills needed to become a(n):
- Accountant and auditor: Prepare or examine financial records, discover opportunity and risk, and share solutions that can help businesses and individuals. Job growth is projected to be about 6% through 2031, and the 2021 median annual salary was $77,250.1
- Budget analyst: Help organizations plan their finances, prepare budget reports and monitor spending. The 2021 median pay was $79,940.1
