Are you interested in pursuing a career in accounting?

You have always heard that the scope for a commerce or finance student is next to impossible to find a pathway to work in the US. We say it’s a myth! Now, if you have a keen interest in US CPA, you must be well aware of the scope, criteria, opportunities, and more. But, did you know with CPA the gateway to work in the USA opens? Yes, that’s right! Finance folks, you can now work in the USA just like the techies!

Masters with the Analytics Track- Miles Redefines Accounting Careers Path!

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) regulates the Certified Public Accountant (US CPA) program, which is one of the most demanding ones in the field of finance and accounting. People choose to become CPAs for various reasons, including the chance to find better and more opportunities in a short time. The US CPA course is regarded as a crucial certificate that will ensure career security. You are perhaps aware of such possibilities. But did you know what MAcc is all about and how is Miles bringing up the platform at your fingertips? 

This article is about the Masters in Accountancy with Analytics Track from the Weatherhead School of Management at the Case Western Reserve University, Ohio, US. A one-of-its-kind STEM-certified accounting program that provides Indian accountants with the opportunity to work full-time in the US following graduation. Since finance or accounting are not counted as STEM programs, the pathway to work in the US never seemed to be an option for finance or commerce graduates. Here, Miles brings a twist to the story!
