%X The study aims to identify the skills and conditions required of accounting graduates to obtain a job in the Saudi labor market. It relies on data collected from (425) job advertisements for an accountant job in the Saudi labor market from September 2020-September 2022. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the data, including content and statistical analysis. The study results revealed that good command of the English language, basic computer skills, IT skills such as software, applications, and systems, and Oracle software skills are essential for employers. The study results also revealed that the advertisements listed identified additional conditions; conditions hiring Saudi citizens, Years of experience, salary cap by experience and qualifications, passing pre-employment competency tests and personal job interviews, and the right education and qualifications. The results also indicate no differences in the demand rates for computer skills in various accounting job titles (accountant, head of the accounting department, financial manager, and auditor). Therefore, the study recommends intensifying and integrating the English language in the accounting education curricula and the need to provide computerized accounting information systems and integrate them into the accounting education curricula as well, as the labor market requires utilizing these systems.
