Technical Certificate in Accounting
Hello! I'm Dana
I am a senior at Indiana University Northwest, and I am searching for opportunities within the industry of accounting. The accounting courses which I completed have intensified my desire to learn more about this field. I deeply appreciate the concepts I studied, so far, because they granted me with more insight into how a company creates strategies, generates revenues, or calculates expenses.
With my natural inclination to analyze and plan, I am certain that I can assist companies as they craft plans to expand or invent methods and products to increase their profits.
​
My objective is to acquire a position in the field of accounting so that I may demonstrate my dedication to tactical planning, emphasizing accuracy, and effectively functioning within a team and by doing so, I will further strengthen my knowledge of accounting as well as enhance my ability to apply accounting concepts; therefore, providing the utmost benefit of both my skills and service.
