@michellehoang20 - I am an accountant, worked for an accounting firm for 3 years, then moved to industry. Am now an accounting manager at a tech company. In my experience, accounting teams tend to have a lot of manual processes heavily reliant on Excel, and there is a perpetual effort to streamline, make things more efficient, make things easier. So, yes, Alteryx is a terrific skill to bring to the table. A challenge I have experienced is that you need to find a workplace that has the budget/resources to commit to using Alteryx, and who will prioritize training and learning time for team members. It also helps to find a team/workplace that embraces change and improvement, and has capacity to make changes. I've been in multiple situations where everyone agrees a better, more efficient way is needed, but no one has the time/capacity to build or learn a different way, and the ongoing pressure of month end closes and quarterly filing dates makes it very hard for people to carve out time to try something different. Not saying that to be discouraging, but to encourage you in your future job searches to also ask questions to help you gauge if a workplace would embrace your Alteryx skills and give you the opportunity to use them.
