The world of work is changing fast — but one field that continues to stay in high demand is
accounting and finance. In 2025, more students are asking: “Why study accounting?” and “Will a
finance degree still lead to strong career opportunities?” The short answer is yes. Accounting and
finance remain among the most secure, respected, and globally portable career paths in Sri Lanka
and across the world.
If you’re a student after O/Ls or A/Ls exploring future options, understanding the value of
accounting and finance can help you make a smart, future-proof decision. At Premier Partners
Institute of Management (PPIM), we guide students through pathways like AAT, ACCA, CA,
and internationally recognised degree programs that open doors to exciting careers in 2025 and
beyond.

What Is Accounting & Finance? (And Why It Still Matters in 2025)
Accounting and finance form the backbone of every business — from small companies to
multinational corporations. The field focuses on managing money, analysing financial
performance, making business decisions, and ensuring transparency.
Why It Still Matters Today

• Every business needs accountants, regardless of industry or size
• Financial regulations are becoming stricter, increasing job demand
• Digital transformation requires skilled professionals who can work with data, analysis
  tools, and AI-driven systems
• Global companies increasingly recruit ACCA-, AAT-, and degree-qualified students
  In 2025, accountants are not just “number crunchers” — they are strategic thinkers, analysts, and
  decision-makers.
