finally a real "a day in the life of" that shows what we really need and want to know instead of watching influencers show us how they wake up and make their bed to then make their green smoothie for 5 minutes, watching them brush their teeth, get dressed, them talking about how their apartment has these other amenities, and other useless things that are not actually useful. Thank you Indeed

Please do this for every profession and go even more in depth, this is a relief after all of the USELESS CONTENT others post about beanbag chairs and walking down the street and then fast forwarding through the WORK which is what matters. Thank you so much Indeed, please keep up the good work.

I'm gonna be going to school for this potentially and hearing that the entire field is thinking hard about work life balance is reassuring. I don't mind working hard, but there's a difference between working hard and flaming out.

I’m an audit accountant but I can relate so much to your day-to-day!

I love this series! It gives me clarity about my own work day and it's interesting to see insights into others work days.

She works for her family business only doing taxes. That's why this is so chill. If you work for corporate America you will get used up, chewed up and thrown out. Accountant only get highlighted when something goes wrong. Never any thanks given, and they also get pulled in 10 different directions with 10 different projects to help other departments while also having to meet their deadlines. And when they can't they get canned. Accountants end up fat and overweight by the time they are 40 due to being overworked. That is the reality.

Accounting is fun in its own way. When you look into an FS it can tell you a story, you can do so much with those information.It was never my dream to be an accountant but now I appreciate it. It is boring, that is true, demanding-definitely but it is important and one of the crucial areas of anything related to financials. If you love problem solving, building puzzles, creating something based on certain guidelines you will be okay in accounting. Oh before I forgot, don’ t forget your coffee its a must!!!….. for sleepless nights🤫🤭

Really like this format. Informative and real. Not loud and obnoxious like most of the stuff on here nowadays

I'm a data center technician and run a few side hustles. While I'm enjoy the work, I'm always reminded when I took accounting 101 I was pretty good at it. However, life took some turns and I never finished college. I have been looking to get into the financial field to help people avoid certain financial situations that I dealt with.

Wow! She's so awesome, professional and really smart. I hope I can be somewhat at her level someday. This is truly an inspiring video, I've been searching the net for a day in a life of an accountant videos in order for me to imagine or visualize what I'm gonna be like in the future and this one's perfect... Thank you for the video and thank you for the inspiration Mrs. Ektaa.
