Whether it’s a small business or a Fortune 500 corporation, a government agency, or a nonprofit, every organization needs accountants to function. Keeping a company’s managers aware of up-to-date, accurate, and relevant information on the firm’s finances is an essential task of accountants everywhere. And because of their extensive knowledge of a company’s operation from the inside out, accountants often acquire the knowledge they need to move into management and entrepreneurial roles.

“Calhoun was an amazing place to begin my college education. There is nothing like the small classroom experience there. I loved getting to know my teachers, and I built lasting relationships with them. The time they spent with me, inside the classroom and out, prepared me for my upper-level classes at UAH.”
