Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Accountants and Auditors

Validating accounting records, advising on governmental accounting procedures, and analyzing financial systems transfer directly to accounting and audit work.

How to prepare: Have your transcripts evaluated against an accounting bachelor's program to identify coursework gaps, since entry typically requires a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. Accountants who file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission must hold a state CPA license.

What the civilian work involves
  • Inspect account books and accounting systems for efficiency, effectiveness, and use of accepted accounting procedures to record transactions.
  • Collect and analyze data to detect deficient controls, duplicated effort, extravagance, fraud, or non-compliance with laws, regulations, and management policies.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • SAP software
