This study investigated the exposure of Bachelor of Science in Accounting Information System (BSAIS) students at Laguna University to accounting software and its influence on their practical skills. The rationale stems from the increasing integration of accounting software such as QuickBooks, SAP, Xero, Sage, and Wave in modern financial practices, which require students to develop practical competencies to meet industry demands. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was employed to assess students’ knowledge and experience with these software tools and to examine the relationship between software exposure and practical skills, including software navigation, financial reporting, data management, budgeting, and internal control. Third- and fourth-year students were selected through simple random sampling, and data were analyzed to determine both descriptive and correlational outcomes. 

The study confirmed a significant positive relationship between software exposure and practical skill development, highlighting that both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience are essential for enhancing students’ readiness for professional accounting tasks. Based on these findings, the study recommends that students actively pursue independent practice and online tutorials, educators integrate accounting software into the curriculum with hands-on exercises, and future researchers explore broader educational settings and software types. These strategies aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice, equipping BSAIS students with the practical skills required to succeed in the evolving accounting profession.
