This article proposes a starting point for reflection on accounting research in university academic work. In particular, on the methodology that makes effective the generation and appropriation of knowledge in the disciplinary area. Descriptive research is carried out to reveal the perception that teachers and students get from the Multi-method approach as a strategy to develop accounting research. The information was collected based on a descriptive design through surveys, interviews, and document analysis. The information collected through the instruments was analyzed, interpreted and represented through figures. The perception of the participants on this study is that accounting research should be strengthened, through strategies such as the implementation of the Multi-method approach.
