What does an accounting professor do?

Accounting professors are responsible for the education of students who hope to become accountants after graduation from university. As an accounting professor, you must prepare a curriculum based on the syllabus for each particular course you teach. You prepare and give lectures, host office hours for students with questions, and evaluate student learning using tests and quizzes. You may also have to serve on faculty committees for your university. In addition to teaching, you do research in your degree field.
