【明報專訊】What do accountants do

Accountants collect financial data and record them in a neat and organized manner. Some of them are specialized in the field of financial analysis, and they often give financial advice to their clients. Also, they need to ensure that all the expenses and incomes in the records are accurate.

Seldom can we find videos introducing the work of accountants. Here is a video analysing the pros and cons of choosing accounting as your profession. If you are interested in the work of an accountant, you must familiarize yourself with accounting terminology and be able to cope with monotonous and repeated work.

How to become an accountant

Accountants are usually those with outstanding ability in analyzing and sorting numbers. However, being an accountant is more stressful than entertaining if you are not an organized person. To become an accountant, you need to be terribly sensitive to details, as one tiny mistake could mess up the whole calculation. Moreover, as in most occupations, good computer processing and analytical skills are required.
