Accounting and Finance

Welcome to the Department of Accounting and Finance of the
Joseph M. Bryan School of Business & Economics at UNCG.

Accounting is the only discipline within business for which separate accreditation is given, and we are one of only 178 programs worldwide to have separate accounting accreditation from the AACSB.  Our finance programs, like all other business programs, are not separately accredited, but are accredited under the umbrella of AACSB business accreditation, the premier accrediting agency for business programs worldwide. We work very hard to maintain the quality and continuous improvement expected from programs which have achieved AACSB business and accounting accreditation.

Our graduates have meaningful and productive careers in business and industry, government, education, and in nonprofit organizations. Most take positions in areas like auditing, business advisory services, financial planning and analysis, banking, tax, and management. A few of the many employers of our students are Dixon Hughes Goodman, LLP; Bank of America; Bank of Oak Ridge; BBT; Bernard Robinson & Co.; Breslow Starling; Davenport, Marvin Joyce & Co.,LLP; Ernst & Young, LLP; Grant Thornton; Hanesbrands Inc; Independent Insurance Agents of North Carolina; KPMG; Leeper, Kean & Rumley; McGladrey & Pullen, LLP; PwC; Robert Half & Associates; RSM McGladrey; Sharrard, McGee & Co.; Smith Leonard; SPX Corporation; Wachovia; VF Jeanswear and VF Corporation; Volvo; Lincoln Financial.

We welcome you to our department. If you are considering us for your studies; or, if you are a potential employer of our graduates, we would welcome the opportunity to assist you.  Accounting or Finance Recruiters please contact Melissa Hershberger at mjhershb@uncg.edu
