Being an accountant, if you want to know more about this career, than this chatbot is for you. If you are interested I have more articles on my personal blog about being an accountant, there is even a glossary available on it.
Being an accountant is easy when you know what you are supposed to do, but all of the task that you are doing can be very redundant.
Accountants are mostly known to be the ones that do everybody's taxes, but they actually do so much more. Being an accountant requires knowing how to analyse some data, but also requires you to know how to organize a budget. In general, as an accountant you will work with some numbers all day long. For example, we prepare financial records to ensure accuracy. You may not know that either, but they are many types of accountants
On a typical day an accountant is more likely to be found analysing data or even doing some financial statement.
You can actually find accountants everywhere because everyone needs accountants to organize all budgets, because without anyone who analyses all of the income and all of the expenses, how could a place be run without being at the risk of being obligated to declare bankruptcy. An accountant can work from an office, but can also work from home.
There are actually more than one way to become an accountant, but overall to be an accountant you need to have some strong verbal and written communication skills. Most accounting jobs requires to have a bachelor's degree either in accounting, finance, or from a related field, but in order to become a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) you need to pass the CPA exam which you will be given if you want to become a CPA, but as I heard from many accountants this exam is not easy.
Every accountant is potential to make high earning since accountants are highly in demand. The median annual salary of an accountant was $71 5500 in 2019, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
After graduating from school accountants don't really need additional training, but they must stay up to day.
There is no danger of being an accountant. The only thing you must be careful about is to protect all of the information that you have in your position so no one can have access to it because in general it is some confidential information or numbers.
I can't really say that there is a chance that we will be replaced by robots because we need to human thinking of being able to analyse and choose where to put the priorities where it is most needed, and I'm not quite sure a robot could do this, because there are some human senses that they will never have.
Normally the retirement age is fixed to 65 years old according to the government no matter your field of study. However, there are some people out there that can afford to retire earlier and there are some that prefer to retire later. It honestly depends on the lifestyle you lead.
I'll conclude by saying that overall it's a beautiful career, but just be sure that you really want to do office work because this career will also require you to do some overtime from time to time. You should also be aware that you must have some good communication skill to succeed in this field.
