“When you get where you are going don’t forget turn back around and help the next one in line” –Tim McGraw

The Accounting and Finance 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 graduate's 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 are, a reflection of their past experiences, and getting students prepared for job fairs, specifically aiming their resumes for accounting companies.

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.

The group will meet weekly to discuss various topics such as market and sector trends, investment opportunities, and global financial news.

Group members will be a wealth of knowledge by adding value to each meeting with one of the following: technical investment strategy, a term of the day or excerpt from educational literature. Members of the Bridgewater Collegiate Investors will also be given the opportunity to participate in events such as guest speakers and trips to financial institutions with the purpose of gaining real-world exposure as well as networking opportunities. Members of the Bridgewater Collegiate Investors must be highly motivated, willing to learn and have a passion for the world of finance.

The group is encouraged to work closely together in the decision making process.

What drives the group to success is pushing one another to go the extra step and complete stock analysis before securing a market position. Students must be critical of one another to ensure professionalism is optimized. Students are also encouraged to maintain their own stock portfolios and share with the group different techniques they used and what result it has produced.
