Career opportunities

Commerce graduates have a huge range of career opportunities, and an accounting and finance specialisation further improves these options. Our graduates work all over the world. They work in banking, politics, management, accounting and insurance. They work for the government and major finance corporations. The range of career options depends on the subjects chosen but, given we offer open electives and a major in accounting and finance, graduates will be able to explore many career paths.

Examples of roles that graduates can pursue include operations manager for a small-to-medium enterprise, stockbroker for a national stock exchange, treasury manager in a government department, self-employed financial advisor, tax accountant for an individual or business, or business analyst for a bank or financial institution.

Professional recognitions

Australian

A Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting and Finance) allows graduates to satisfy the educational requirements of various professional registrations and memberships. It all depends on what units you take. To learn more, visit professional recognition or talk to your course adviser.

ACCOUNTING

Accounting is the systematic recording, reporting, and analysis of financial transactions. It can be done on a large scale - for international corporations - or for individuals or for any sized business in-between. There are agreed national and international rules and regulations that govern the work of accountants. Accounting allows a company to analyse its financial performance, and report important statistics such as profit and loss to managers and shareholders.

FINANCE

Financial institutions work with individual and institutional investors. They develop, negotiate, sell and trade financial products (assets and liabilities) and provide financial advice to assist their clients to obtain the financial products most suitable for their needs.
