Course Overview

Today's accounting and finance professionals are now expected to serve as business partners and experts who can use data analytics to inform recommendations on business strategy. The advanced certificate in accounting and financial analytics provides knowledge in data science and statistical analysis so that accounting and finance professionals can mine and analyze data to apply it in ways that benefit and improve business operations and outcomes.

A graduate certificate in accounting and financial analytics instills data skills in finance and accounting professionals and enables them to operate effectively in the modern data-centric environment. You will learn how to access, interpret, analyze, and report business data by using tools, as well as use visualization as a decision-making tool in functional business areas. Courses completed in the certificate program can be applied later to the master’s degree in business analytics, or can be used as a valuable add-on for students pursuing master's degrees from RIT in fields such as finance, accounting, applied statistics, and computer science.
