Accounting and Financial Analytics I Career Studies Certificate

Imagine working at a company, and not knowing how much is spent and the best way to distribute those dollars… that is exactly the type of situation many firms find themselves today. Those types of situations make analytical skills in-demand. Businesses must look deeper into their financial health as well as develop a better understanding of markets and forces impacting competition. Employees with a strong analytical skill set help businesses to make informed decisions, identify problems, and develop actionable solutions.
