High School
A solid understanding of mathematics is required for accounting work. While in high school, be sure to take as many math classes as possible, including algebra, geometry, and calculus. Business classes are also essential. Accountants use computers and various software for their research and reports, so round out your curriculum with computer science classes as well as English and writing classes.
