This scientific article presents the results of research that sought to demonstrate that a mixed-methods (quantitative-qualitative) approach is the most appropriate for accounting research. A questionnaire was developed and administered to a sample of 150 participants, including professors and postgraduate accounting students. Based on the theoretical framework of complexity, data was collected that allowed the hypothesis to be tested (p < 0.035) and the acceptance of this approach for this type of research. The study concludes that epistemological training should be promoted, and the development of research skills using technological tools should be fostered.
