An accountant


Introduction

I am currently at CEGEP in Accounting and Management Technology, then I look to do a Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA). Also, it is an option for me to be a part of the Chartered Professional Accountancy. To be a part of it, I have to do all four parts of the exam and pass all of them. I haven't yet chosen how far I want to go in my studies. I think I chose two good sources because both sites are for students and one is a site of a known college.


What is it like to be accountant?

This means that you control the entry and the exit of the company you work for. You can be tax accountants, auditor and general accountants, personal income tax accountants, self-employed, corporate tax accountants. All these different positions each have their own tasks as different as each other.


What do accountants do?

A company's accountants take care of the payments, transfers of capital, financial positions, etc. They also deal with taxes payable and receivable in all these transactions. Then, between all these tasks, we have to respond to customer emails and have meetings.


What do accountants do on a typical day?

On a typical day, an accountant can have many meetings and emails that he must respond the most rapidly. Most of the time, you will have to use your analytical skills. Many of the companies work in teams, so you need to communicate with your teammates and also the other professional departments. Manipulating numbers, working with formulas and doing financial analyses are tasks we do regularly, and almost every day.Of course, we always use accounting of financial software. You will probably have to work with Microsoft Excel. Finally, you must respect the deadlines you have to submit one of more jobs.


Where do accountants work?

It is possible to work in accounting offices for a particular company. There are also people who decide to set up their own business. Finally, you can work in a bank and in client firms too.


How can I become accountant?

There are several paths available to become an accountant, because you can only be an accounting technician or be part of the CPA order. To become a technician, you can simply do an Accounting and Management Technology. To become an accountant, you have to go to university and do a Bachelor and then, if you want, you can do a master's degree to specialize. Finally, you can be a part of the Chartered Professional Accountancy at the end of your studies.


How much money do accountants make?

It's not in the two articles I chose. However, I know that the salary depends on the workload you have and also the education you have, such as the degree you have.


What are the dangers of being accountant?

Most people who become accountants don't know this negative point of the work. We are often the people who have to talk about money with others and announce the bad news. There may be times when you're not welcomed as you wish and not in the happiest way in a meeting.


What are the chances that accountants will be replaced by robots soon?

I don't think robots can replace accountants, because a lot of the work is done with the computer. On the other hand, I think he's always going to need someone to put the numbers together, in the right place, and understand the analytical side of the work.


What age do accountants retire at?

Every worker decides when they want to retire and it is not the same for everyone. So, you will decide when you want and when you will be able to take it.


Conclusion

My goal is to have enough energy and power to go to university and finally be part of the CPA.
