Mentoring has emerged as a critical pedagogical and developmental mechanism in accounting education, supporting students’ academic success, professional socialization, and career readiness. As accounting programs become increasingly complex due to globalization, technological advancement, and heightened professional expectations, students require guidance beyond formal classroom instruction. This research paper examines the role of mentoring in accounting education by analyzing its impact on student learning, skill development, ethical awareness, and transition to professional practice. Drawing on an extensive review of international literature and established educational theories, the study identifies key mentoring models, explores benefits and challenges, and proposes a structured mentoring framework tailored to accounting education. The findings suggest that effective mentoring significantly enhances student engagement, retention, confidence, and employability, thereby strengthening the overall quality of accounting education.
