Accounting
If you’re into numbers and details, accounting and finance careers offer great growth!
Managing money is more important than ever before. The recent financial crisis and economic recession will lead to a wealth of new career opportunities for those with the right skills and credentials.
As the economy rebounds, the number of businesses will increase. More accountants and auditors will be needed to set up books, prepare taxes and provide management advice. As these businesses grow, they’ll also need advisors to work with costs, expenditures, taxes, and internal controls. In addition, the globalization of business has led to opportunities regarding international trade, mergers and acquisitions.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there will be a much faster than average job growth (22%) for accountants and auditors over the next decade. The best job prospects will be for accountants and auditors who have a college degree plus any certification, especially a CPA.
Do you have what it takes to get into this fast growing and important career field?
Successful accountants need to be smart about more than money. They are tech savvy and work with software programs that are continually updated to handle new laws and regulations. In addition, they also have solid “people” skills. They can clearly explain issues to their clients as well as effectively interact with other team members.
