Online Commerce Degree :: Accredited Universities

Qualified accountants help individuals and businesses keep their finances on track. Accountants analyse, report and give advice on the financial dealings of organisations and individuals. They also advise on record-keeping and legal compliance requirements, prepare financial statements, conduct audits and analyse income and expenditure.

An accounting qualification can go anywhere with you. It is valuable to organisations in many industries, and in many countries. Specialising in one area can be particularly worthwhile. You can develop expertise in areas such as auditing, taxation, insolvency, compliance, or accounting systems and technology.

Advertising is where art, science and technology collide. It is a stream of storytelling and brand engagement, from social media to television and print. The industry is fast-paced, exciting and highly innovative.

A typical advertising agency is made up of five primary disciplines: account management, planning, media, production and creative. The disciplines work together to deliver effective communications across television, radio, magazines, newspapers, outdoor and online activity.

People who work in advertising need to have the ability to find solutions, and to work well and thrive under pressure. Careers in advertising range from account executive, copywriter, media planner, digital account manager and creative director.
