BS ACCOUNTING & FINANCE

Accounting and Finance are the two fundamental pillars that support all business operations. Accounting is the “language of business,” focusing on meticulously recording, measuring, and communicating an organization’s past and present financial transactions. Finance is the strategic application of this information, focusing on managing money and making forward-looking decisions about investments, capital, and risk.

You will learn not only how to prepare and analyze financial statements (the accounting side) but also how to use that data to forecast, value assets, and build strategic wealth (the finance side).
