The Accounting Option provides students with opportunities in a variety of fields, including internal audit, external audit, tax preparation and planning, and consulting. Demand for accountants has been consistently strong. The goal of the accounting option is to prepare students for a career in accounting and the qualifications to obtain certifications, such as Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). The accounting option also prepares students to enter the Master of Science in Accounting program offered by WSBE. Obtaining a Masters degree is a necessary requirement for taking the CPA exam in most states, including Massachusetts and Maine. Accounting is called “the first language” of business for good reason: the fate of many products and marketing campaigns hinges on the financial officer's final analysis. For this reason, successful accounting professionals often assume leadership roles within their companies. At the Whittemore School, students pursue one of two tracks: traditional accounting is geared for students who wish to pursue careers such as internal audit, external audit, tax preparation and planning, and consulting; financial analysis is designed for students wishing to pursue banking, insurance, corporate finance, investment management, and risk management. The following courses are required for the option: • ACFI 621
