If it is relating to accounting, I would definitely keep them. There is a buttload of material in accounting that you cannot remember, unless you do it everyday.
I would suggest keeping them for a little while anyway. At least until you start working, and get to know your job well enough that you do not need to reference anything all of the time.
Everyone at a new job takes some time to learn the ropes. Keeping your books may make the transition easier.

My husband and I kept most of our textbooks.
I'm an accounting / business major and I actually refer back to them quite often, My husband is an engineer and he too uses his books frequently.
We also kept our math and science books because they often have better explainations then more current textbooks. We use them when our teen age daughter has questions on her homework. It is a great asset for her.
I also had a few books that had information that newer books were missing, and was able to provide my professors with graphs and charts they needed simply because I had seen them before.

I kept my hard sciences texts (chemistry, biology, physics) and sold back most of my social sciences books.
There is a good site I found for selling back books, they pay a lot more than my campus bookstore. Textbook411.com Its also a good place to buy books, realy cheap prices!

i kept all of mine for the most part. i'm in finance and there are some books that are good to have as reference materials. however, these days most info you might want can be found online so i wouldn't worry too much. also, in a work environment you will have co-workers that you can always use as resources.

I'm keeping all my books that relate to my major.
You never know if you'll go back to school, or if you'll end up as a professor yourself, so I'd say theres no harm in holding on to them.
