Students

The Albany Accounting Association was created in the Fall of 2015 and had its first active semester in the Fall of 2016. We created this group to enhance the accounting knowledge, client relationship management skills and overall interest in accounting for students at the University at Albany. Our main objective is to assist other student groups with their budgeting and other financial decisions in order to ensure the proper and efficient allocation of their funds. To achieve these goals, we offer our members hands on training to ensure quality work with our clients, professional events with accounting firms, and access to numerous members of the accounting faculty in the Massry School of Business. We are still growing and developing as a group and are excited for what the coming semesters will bring.
