Accounting is the language of business, so consider an accounting degree at CDU your translator and guide to an exciting career. 

Your accounting degree will equip you with the knowledge and practical application of key accounting concepts across the profession, covering management accounting, financial accounting, corporate accounting, taxation, business finance, business law, auditing, and much more. An accounting course at CDU can also be complemented with units from other areas, allowing you to pursue other interests and expand your skill set. 

Engage with professional development opportunities like the CDU Free Tax Clinic initiative, in partnership with the ATO and registered tax practitioners. Not only do participating Bachelor of Accounting students receive real-life work experience, but they also make a difference in the community by assisting eligible clients with their tax affairs.

Whether your goal is to run your own business or work at a company, you will need the accounting skills to record economic events, measure financial transactions, evaluate financial health and prepare financial reports. Our bachelor level accounting degree can take you onto further study in a postgraduate course or a fulfilling career in the financial services sector. 

A career in accounting is much more exciting and diverse than most people think. Accounting roles are required in every industry, not just the 'Big Four' and other accounting firms. Not only are accounting graduates currently in high demand, but accounting careers also attract competitive remuneration for stability and opportunities for professional growth and development. 

Our accounting degree graduates go on to become Certified Practising Accountants (CPA) and Chartered Accountants (CA), forensic accountants, tax accountants, auditors, risk analysts, CFOs, entrepreneurs, and everything in between. 

Should you choose to divert your career away from accounting roles, your accounting degree at CDU builds transferable skills that are highly sought-after by employers across the public and private sectors including critical and analytical thinking, problem solving, attention to detail and experience with software. 

And if you think accounting is all numbers, numbers, numbers… think again. Many accounting roles require a great deal of presentation and communication skills to deal with clients, skills that you will develop during a Bachelor of Accounting at CDU.
