Students interested in working in either the accounting or finance world sometimes struggle to choose a degree. An accounting and finance major gives you the best of both worlds, and more options once you finally graduate. An accounting and finance degree allows you tolearn to help businesses come up with viable strategies to increase profits. Apart from making financial decisions for organizations, you'll be learning more about planning, controlling costs and making wise investments. Eventually, you may find employment as a financial manager, analyst, banker, or an accountant. Thanks to the versatility and broad scope of the major, your options are almost endless.
