A degree in accounting paves the way for a multitude of career paths, each offering unique challenges and opportunities. Auditors play a crucial role in examining financial records to ensure accuracy and compliance with regulations, often working internally within organizations or externally in audit firms. As Compliance Officers, accounting graduates ensure that their organizations adhere to external laws and internal policies, a role critical in maintaining legal and ethical standards. Financial Analysts, leveraging their accounting expertise, analyze financial data to guide businesses and individuals in making informed investment decisions, a vital role in today's dynamic financial landscape.

Also, the high-tech lab works hand-in-hand with the student-run portfolio, the Pacer Investment Fund. The Pacer Investment Fund provides students with a solid knowledge of dealing with a stock portfolio. Students deal with actual money from investors and track their stocks. Along with handling real money, business students also have to observe the performance of the investor’s stock.
