Accounting and Finance Certificate of Higher Education - CertHE

The CertHE Accounting and Finance provides an accessible and practical introduction to the world of accounting, finance and business decision-making. Whether you already have a clear ambition to work in accountancy or finance, or you are looking to develop a broader understanding of how organisations manage and use financial information, the course gives you a strong foundation from which to build.

You will develop an understanding of core accounting and finance concepts while also exploring how financial information supports planning, performance measurement, investment and organisational decision-making. Alongside technical knowledge, you will develop transferable skills in analysis, communication, problem-solving and professional practice.

The course also looks towards the future of the profession. Digital technologies, artificial intelligence, automation, data analytics and sustainability are changing the responsibilities of finance professionals, creating new opportunities for people who can combine financial understanding with digital and commercial awareness.

The CertHE can support progression into the BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance or provide a foundation for entry-level roles in accounting, finance and wider business environments.
