Accounting Department

Fuel the Future of Accounting at Isenberg!

When you give to the Isenberg Accounting Department, you're doing more than supporting a program — you're empowering hundreds of undergraduate and master's students who are shaping the future of the accounting profession.

Our students don’t just learn — they lead:

They’re national champions in case competitions hosted by the world’s top CPA firms.
They give back through our award-winning Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, providing real help to the community.
They earn high-impact internships and full-time roles at the most prestigious CPA firms in the world.
They learn from a world-renowned faculty, ranked #2 globally for auditor judgment research and #7 in auditing overall (BYU, 2024).
They engage globally through the International Symposium on Audit Research; Isenberg Accounting Department is one of four international hosts.

But to keep delivering this world-class experience, we need your support. During UMassGives, your contribution powers:

High-need scholarships
Student connections with business leaders
Life-changing educational and professional opportunities...and so much more.

Our goal? Raise $60,000 from 100 donors in just two days — and with your help, we’ll get there.

PLUS: Your gift has the power to unlock even more!

Thanks to a generous challenge from Paul Lewenberg '09, '10 MSA, for every 20 gifts made to the Accounting Department, $5,000 in scholarship support will be unlocked — up to $25,000!

Give now. Inspire excellence. Shape the next generation of accounting leaders.

Thank you for your continued support!
