What I Wish I Knew Before Becoming An Accountant

7 things I wish I knew before becoming an accountant - both studying for the chartered accountancy qualification (CA, CPA, ACA) and my accountancy degree. An accounting career can be quite versatile and there's no set way to have an accounting job and this is basically what I've slowly learned over the last few years!

Honestly, to hear you say that you weren't "book smart", and you just had to put in the hard work, makes me feel much better about choosing this path. Its relatable for me.

One thing that I'm worried about getting into accounting is attention to detail. Just the feeling of making mistakes by entering the wrong detail or number on someone's tax return.

I just became a junior in
College and my first internship was admin role at a PA firm. Very intense from the admin side lol but I would like to learn the other side such as tax intern or audit intern. Hoping to go back to that job at a tax intern. Love your video!!

Hey, I hope you’re well. I love you’re content and you’re outlook on life. A job is a job weather you’re a cleaner or a doctor. You just have to be happy wherever you are and that’s the main thing in life. God bless you ☺️🙏✨

This is so relatable as I've been working for 2 years & recently quit. Accounting is a boring work but it teaches you some real skills which can be used in a different Dept or profession as well, rightly pointed out in the video!

[danielmorales]

Just got hired at PWC and your videos are really helpful

[nyaradzaitombo]
