What is the Accounting Society?
The Accounting Society at the University of Georgia is a student-led organization dedicated to helping students of all majors gain a strong foundation in accounting and finance. We believe that accounting is the language of business, and our goal is to make it accessible and valuable for anyone interested in building real-world skills, improving financial literacy, and preparing for successful careers.
When are Accounting Society meetings held?
Regular meetings are held twice a month on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
What does the Accounting Society offer?
Membership in the Accounting Society offers students the chance to grow academically, professionally, and personally. Whether you’re pursuing a career in accounting, exploring finance, or simply looking to strengthen your understanding of business, the Accounting Society provides the resources, community, and experiences to help you succeed.
How do I join?
To be an active member, you must apply to using the form and attend at least three meetings. Be sure to SIGN IN at those events and fill out a survey concerning the events you attended.
Are the Accounting Society and Beta Alpha Psi different?
Yes, Beta Alpha Psi is a national scholastic and professional fraternity. We do plan most of our events in conjunction with Beta Alpha Psi, and attending one of our combined events will count for membership toward both organizations (provided that you sign in on both sign-in sheets). Beta Alpha Psi requires a few more steps to become a member, while Accounting Society only requires attendance in three categories. Please see Beta Alpha Psi’s website for more information about their organization.
How can I participate more?
We’re always looking for new ideas and suggestions, so please send any feedback or thoughts to the President, Connor Migliore, at cam89424@uga.edu. Also, officer positions open up each spring semester for the following academic year. Any active member is encouraged to apply for a position.
What do I wear to meetings?
The dress code for all professional events is business casual, while the dress code for social and service events is casual unless otherwise noted.
Business Casual: A polished yet comfortable style.
For Men: Collared shirts, polos, sweaters, slacks, and loafers. Avoid jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts.
For Women: Blouses, dress shirts, knee-length skirts or slacks, flats or low heels. Avoid jeans, sneakers, and overly casual dresses.
Business Professional: A more formal and refined appearance.
For Men: Tailored suits, dress shirts, ties, dress shoes, and minimal accessories.
For Women: Suits or professional dresses, blouses, tailored pants or skirts, closed-toe heels, and minimal jewelry.
Do I have to sign in at every event I attend?
Yes! We track attendance by recording the sign-in sheets from each event. If you do not sign in, we have no record of your attendance, and even if you take the survey, we can’t count that toward your active membership requirement. So, remember to sign in!
I’m a member of Beta Alpha Psi. Do I have to sign in on the Accounting Society and Beta Alpha Psi sign in sheets?
Yes! Although we share most of our events throughout the semester, we monitor attendance separately. If you plan to belong to both organizations, you must sign in on both sheets at each event.
