Accounting Society is a professional student organization within the University of Southern California's Leventhal School of Accounting. We are dedicated to exposing students to academic and career issues in the financial and accounting world.
Through opportunities to meet other individuals studying or working in the field of accounting, members develop strong relationships with faculty, alumni, professionals, and fellow students. Accounting Society’s activities include a professional-student mentoring program, weekly speaker engagements, firm socials, office tours, community service projects, professional development workshops, and club social events. Accounting Society is open to USC students of all majors.

Accounting Society is a professional student organization, not a social fraternity. Pledge members are required to attend more Firm and AS Sponsored Events and Weekly Meetings than Active members. The purpose of these more demanding requirements is to encourage our new members to experience everything that AS has to offer. The more actively involved you become, the more beneficial your involvement will be. We strongly urge you to make the commitment towards achieving Active Member Status. The advantages of making Active status include eligibility to run for office, less stringent participation requirements, and lower membership dues.
The officers of the Accounting Society have developed a new status level honoring members who have truly partaken in the activities of the organization. Senior Member is the highest level in the Accounting Society and entails a new set of requirements needed to maintain this status. Senior members will receive the highest recognition as a member and will be awarded the AS sash at graduation.
