A Career in Accountancy
To begin a successful career in accounting, you will need to develop a wide array of knowledge, skills and competencies ranging from a strong understanding of accounting and business concepts to effective leadership and communication skills. You will also need to have a broad business perspective, which will enable you to "see the big picture" of the internal and external factors that impact how a business operates.

There are four kinds of accountants.

  1. 'Public accountants' work for public accounting companies. Some have their own businesses. They do many different kinds of accounting for people outside the company.
  2. "Management accountants' keep track of the money spent and made by the companies for which they work.
  3. 'Internal auditors' make sure that a company's accounting records are right. They check the records to see that no one in the company is stealing. They also check to see that no one in the company is wasting the company's money.
  4. 'Government accountants' and auditors' make sure that government accounting records are right. They also check the records of people doing business with the government.

Preparing for the job

Most accountants have a college degree in accounting. Public accountants have to take a special test as well. Public accountants also must have a special license from the State in which they live. Some employers want accountants who have a master's degree in business or accounting. Most employers want accountants who know quite a bit about computers.

People who want to be accountants should be good at math. They also should be able to write well, so that they can tell others about their findings.
