Re: MBA Accounting or MBA Finance

MBA in Accounting

MBA in accounting curricula often includes particular courses in financial reporting and understanding taxes. In a few programs, students have the chance to elect an area of concentration, including taxation or courses to prepare for the CPA exam.
MBA in Finance

An MBA in finance arms students with understanding about investing and portfolio management, as well as leadership, management, marketing, and financial accountability. Students characteristically study several valuation models, including Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT), and Equity Valuation. Techniques educated include forecasting, financial analysis, navigating IPOs and mergers and acquisitions.

Career in Finance vs. Accounting

Careers in finance and accounting are very discrete, as are the primary job roles of individuals in these areas. Accountants and auditors’ main accountability is to review and maintain financial records (Bureau of Labor Statistics). As mentioned previously, many accountants turn into Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). Additional certifications accountants may get hold of include Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and more. These certifications can augment job prospects and demonstrate proficiency. According to a review conducted by the Institute of Management Accountants, Inc., those with certifications – CPA, CMA or both – earn 31 percent more than peers without qualifications. The job outlook for accountants and auditors is projected to grow 13 percent from 2012 to 2022, about as swift as average.

Working as a financial analyst is a well-liked career in finance. Financial analysts assist businesses and individuals with creation investment decisions (BLS). Individuals can go into the field with a bachelor’s degree, but in order to move ahead their career, typically need a master’s degree – either an MBA or master’s degree in finance. Financial analysts may also seek qualifications as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) to further progress their careers. The job outlook for financial analysts is anticipated to grow 16 percent from 2012-2022, faster than the average for all occupations.

Furthermore, finance vs. accounting salaries differ. The BLS reported the average salary for accountants and auditors was $63,550 in May 2012, while the average salary for financial analysts during this time was $76,950.

MBA in Finance vs. MBA in Accounting


So, which degree is the correct choice for you? Persons working in both areas can benefit from earning a license specific to the field. Additionally the job outlook, while superior for financial analysts, is good for both. However, job tasks for individuals functioning in accounting and those working in finance are very different. It’s significant to consider the areas of interest and ultimate career goals when choosing between an MBA in finance vs. MBA in accounting.
