Future Employment Opportunities in Albuquerque? In Finance Accounting, Banking. (university, living)

[Almeida93]

I am a student from a public university that belongs to the UT System here in Texas. I am planning in majoring in Accountancy and obtaining a Master degree in Accountancy aswell. Does Albuquerque have a financial sector? How are future employment opportunities in Albuquerque? Thank You.

While accountants do work in Albuquerque, and there are always presumably places for accountants, Albuquerque is unfortunately a financial backwater.

Work here because you love living here, not because you think it will be good for your career (at least as an accountant).

I think that accountancy isn't number crunching, allocating numbers, etc. If I understand correctly, it is taking the data that accounting produces and conveying that information to the people that need the information. If that is the case, I think that Fidelity may be the only place in Albuquerque that does that (if they even do that here).

My mom worked for PNM as an accountant for 30+ years doing everything from doing marginal cost studies to managing their Rate Dept.

KPMG, one of big 5 national accounting firms, also has an office here.

Gap Inc has some parts of their Financial Corporate offices here in Albuquerque as well. They employ approx 300 people and large part of that is Finance/Acct.
