Even if you say you don&#8217;t go to work for one of these companies here, you never know, five years down the road, they might be looking for a CFO or controller having that relationship is going to benefit you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the firms, balance books are important but the future of business lies in the soon-to-be accountants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo be an accountant you must understand every aspect of business,&#8221; said Certified Public Accountant and Troy Alumnus Micah Murphy. &#8220;It&#8217;s not just the numbers.
