This study aims to examine the effects of career exposure, self efficacy, financial rewards, work environment, social values, and job market considerations on students’ interest in pursuing a career as a Chartered Accountant (CA). This research employed a quantitative approach involving all undergraduate accounting students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ), class of 2022, with the entire population selected as the sample using a non-probability saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire ranging from 1 to 4 with items adapted from established indicators. The collected data were processed and analysed using the PLS-SEM approach with the SmartPLS software. The findings reveal that career exposure, financial rewards, and job market considerations have a positive and significant effect on career interest as a Chartered Accountant, while self efficacy, work environment, and social values do not show a significant influence.
