The accounting and advisory services concentration is aimed at D’Amore-McKim students who wish to pursue a career in advisory services. The concentration offers students an opportunity to obtain the skills necessary to enter advisory services. Students hired in advisory services work in interdisciplinary areas including mergers and acquisitions, risk consulting, process improvement, data analytics, and digital transformation. This concentration is an alternative to the standard accounting concentration, which many students pursue to prepare for CPA licensure. The accounting and advisory services concentration is well suited for students who are interested in taking a managerial or advisory role to support the strategic goals of an organization.
