The Accounting and Finance Club (ACFI Club) is a student-run academic club open to all Bridgewater State University Students interested in accounting and finance. Our club functions in the hopes of helping fellow students gain knowledge about future careers and learning from upperclassmen and former BSU graduates' accounting experiences. Club members meet on a bi-weekly basis to discuss a variety of topics. Topics include where students progress towards obtaining internships and jobs, a reflection of their past experiences, and getting students prepared for job fairs, specifically aiming their resumes for accounting companies.

The club regularly hosts career networking events and guest speakers from organizations in the industry in order to help BSU students land job and internship offers.

The club works on a ladder basis, consequently lending a hand to the next student when you have reached the accounting position you have worked for throughout college. Many of our former BSU club members have advised their company to reach out and look for BSU accounting and finance students.
