"I am convinced that there is no better university in Mexico than UP to train the accountants that our country needs. Studying at UP has opened many doors for me, because today's companies find enormous added value in having excellent professionals who also value the human side.

María José Ramírez Gutiérrez de Velasco, Head of Department at the Central Administration of Transfer Pricing Taxation at SAT, UP Accounting alumni generation 2013.

"Accounting at UP is the possibility to train in the field of business. It is preparing to be a reliable, professional and ethical advisor. It is to be a Professional-Professional."

C. P. C. Adolfo Alcocer Medinilla, Managing Partner at Desapacho Alcocer, Alemán & Asociados, S. C., former President of the Colegio de Contadores Públicos de México, alumni Contaduría UP generation 1981.

"Studying accounting at UP was not only a professional decision, but also a life decision. During my studies I met my friends, I was trained as a future professional using the tools and knowledge that my teachers taught us, and finally I acquired an ethical and human vision that I still have today. In addition to the personalised attention, I believe that it is precisely the human vision that distinguishes us in the labour market. I thank each teacher for the time they dedicated to giving us a technical, entrepreneurial and ethical vision, which makes the career and its students one of the most complete and competitive in Mexico".
