By completing the further training program to become a Financial and Accounting Specialist, you will acquire the skills needed to take on responsibilities in commercial management or as an accounting manager at a small or medium-sized company. With a solid understanding of payroll and accounting, taxes, and social security, you can also perform fiduciary duties as a Financial and Accounting Specialist.
Job responsibilities and areas of responsibility vary depending on the size of the company. In large companies, finance and accounting professionals often serve as the link to management and take on leadership roles. In a smaller company or an SME, the finance and accounting professional often bears full responsibility for finance and accounting.
Financial and accounting professionals are in high demand in the job market. Upon successful completion, you’ll earn a federal certificate that’s recognized throughout Switzerland. In addition to the specialized knowledge you’ll gain, you’ll also benefit personally from the Financial and Accounting Specialist continuing education, further training program. You’ll exchange ideas with other professionals (fellow participants and instructors with real-world experience) and build a network within the finance industry. Having your own network is often helpful when looking for a job later on—relationships and networking have become an indispensable part of today’s professional world.
With the Federal Certificate, you can go on to pursue continuing education to become a Certified Expert in Accounting and Controlling, a Certified Public Accountant, or a Certified Trust Expert. If you’d prefer to pursue a more generalist path afterward, a part-time program of continuing education at a College of Higher Education could be an option. For example, you could earn a degree as a Certified Business Administrator (CHE) or a Certified Banking Specialist (CHE).
