Thank you for mentioning introvert vs extrovert, no one does. Definitely rather work a job good for introverts

[AN-jbdc]

Thank you for including the term "introvert" in your description of the distinctions. I'm an introvert who loves finance, so I'm combining the two and studying for the CFA and CPA exams.

This is one of the best videos I have found on the difference between finance and accounting. Really appreciate discussing the reasons one might choose one path over the other, and the introvert factor.

I agree with you 100% thanks for the video . I was always curious about working in Finance, but now by watching this video I have confirmed that accounting is my thing ! And I love it ! Thanks

[kaitydidkaity]

It’s been so hard finding a resource that outlined the differences in a clear and finite way. Excellent video, thank you

[dantessMG]

I love the way u made ur decision; despite being able to generate more money u focused on ur life balance and happiness with respect to ur capacity

[aceanyconcept]

You clarified a lot of things for people considering a career in accounts or finance. Thanks!

Adding my comment to make them total half a thousand on this video 💪.
Best video I’ve seen explaining the difference between these two. Thanks

This video is what led me to your channel. I was struggling to find an accessible way to explain my change of career alignment from Accounting to FP&A to friend who isn't from our world and doesn't understand that us CPAs can do so many different things! This was spot on.

I liked the part where you explain how your personality interacts better with Accounting because I'm the reverse in every way. When I was an accountant, period ends grew stale after a while and my favorite part became working with the finance team to give them some guidance on how to forecast/budget accounting adjustment accounts. I was the only person in Accountings who wanted to touch that, and the finance team hated to forecast anything accounting based (which shows how much these two things don't intersect too well) so I ended up de facto owner of many accounts during the forecast process. Interacting with the finance team led way for a career revelation and an opportunity that I'm extremely happy to have gotten. It was like a gravitational field pulling me in that direction!

I have nearly 3 years of experience in F&A and can say this video is very accurate.

You really helped choose which career to go for, I’m about to go to college this year and I had chosen an art degree and it wasn’t sitting well for my future goals money wise. Thank you very much 🙏

I forwarded a link to this video to my grandson who is about to begin studies at a business school. He is interested in accounting and finance, but doesn't have a clear understanding of how a career in one of those disciplines would differ from a career in the other. This video is a perfect introduction to gaining a better understanding of the differences.

[mildredgutierrez]

Thanks a million! This helps me a lot for making a big decision.

[dhwaniskuppitorn]

Good one sir, its very helpful for people like me more from you, thankyou !( adding a small note : now a days accountant job also having high stress level !!)

[lazarinatcholeva]

Brilliant video, I really enjoyed it. Very nice presentation, with facts and reasonable opinions. I liked also your tone of the voice and clear, easy to understand English, both very important to me to be able to follow with interest. I am certainly going to see your other videos as well. Thank you indeed.

[kumarrajagoolisetty]

Love you sir, day by day you are making my accounting life easy.👍

[scaramouche]

thank you so much for the help! right now i’m an accounting major, but i recently took a finance class and liked it as well. i definitely think accounting is more for me given that i’m more introverted and like having a set schedule! also, the thought of predicting and advising others based on assumptions terrifies me

[yoosufv]

Thank you so much for your great video.it’s very understandable and useful information

[glaixxagabato]

i'm an introvert but i'm more into finance, i'll make my weakness as my strengths. thank you for the clarification between these two. it helped me a lot! you're so great!

[rmmlotha]

Many thanks for making this video. I was so indecisive with my career choice and this just cemented everything I needed to know about the life of an accoutant and financial analyst.
