Hey, it’s been a while! Apologies for the radio silence over the past couple of weeks. I’ve been back home in the UK catching up with friends and family. But now it’s business as usual. One video each week. I may have gone a bit over the top with the metaphors in this one. But I was trying out something new and had a lot of fun making it! I’ve had a lot of positive experiences working in Accounting, however there have been some negative ones too. If you’d like to see a video about those, let me know!

But it takes 1-2 years, thousands of dollars on study materials, 1-2 years of work experience, permanent ongoing educational requirements, and 150 credits. The biggest misconception in accounting is that it's drilled into you that you have to work for the big 4 and you have to get a CPA. Just not true.

@@LazarusStirs I'm curious, are you an accountant or do you work in the accounting field? Where is your data on potential earnings of accountants with their CPA and accountants without their CPA? Where is it said that CPAs have to work in Public Accounting? In private industry, corporate America and governmental accounting, persons with their CPA can get promotions and positions that persons without their CPA simply cannot. I've seen it too many times to count. Certain positions, such as CFO, require a CPA because they have to sign off on their financial statements. I've been an auditor/accountant/CPA for 28 years and I've never worked for a CPA firm. A person with only an accounting degree will, most likely, hit a ceiling in their career that persons with their CPA or other licenses (CIA, CMA, etc.) can climb past. Of course, you don't have to get your CPA or any other further education which takes more time and money. However, doing so will more than likely only help your level of success and earnings in the field. You're complaining about CPEs? Are you serious? Attorneys have to maintain CPEs so are you saying that's a reason not to become an attorney?

Good video, I liked the part at the end about taking risky ventures. It's true that accounting is one of the more stable business professions, so it does draw more risk adverse individuals. However the reality is accountants are business men and women, so taking risks is still necessary to go far. It's through risk taking I was finally able to break out of unemployment and land a tax position with a middle market accounting firm. In order to get hired I agreed to work in Boise Idaho instead of my home city of Los Angeles, I will relocate after COVID. A scary venture but also an entrepreneurial one, given the booming nature of Boise.

In Chinese, we called "the rock" as "steel rice bowl" due to clay made can be break easily. Fruther elaborate as, when it comes to laying off employees, the first one asks to go when the Co is not doing well is from the operations, such as the engineers, chefs and etc. It makes sense because operation made up the revenue for production of goods and services. There is production but no sales, thus unable to cover their labour costs. Especially now, we are facing a huge pandemic crisis, the economy goes into recession/slow down. I'm seeing my peers graduating with no job offers from other fields such as architecture and graphic design. Accounting wise, corporations still have to generate financial statements required by accounting standard, audit, tax filing, listing compliances and etc. Accountants are necessary cost centres as the Co will be going concern.

Man, you have some great video editing skills! Great video. Question: do you have to be a Certified accountant to work for a firm or can you also be self-taught? How is the pay in the UK for an accountant? any specific accounting software you'd recommend? courses/books? Eager to hear from you. Tks!

Hey Gregory, to work as a Financial Accountant you don't have to be Certified. However having some formal training will make job applications much easier. Pay depends on where you live, the industry you are in what role you have. Accountants can get anything from 20,000 GBP to 100k + (for CFO's and Audit Partners). I recommend reading the 'Accounting Game' for anyone starting out. All the best!

That is a tough question. I don't think happiness is determined solely by your career. That being said, it's really what you make of it. You can have massively different experiences doing the exact same job at different companies. The challenge is to find a role that suits you and the lifestyle you want to live. You might not find it first time. But as time passes you can switch positions and companies until you find something that works for you. Hope that helps

I took 1st place in my city (Russia, Novosibirsk) in the economic tournament despite the fact that I had never participated in school competitions before. I chose this profession because I saw that women which worked in this area (mothers of my friends) had constant salary and job.

Hello everyone! Here's my turbulent story about how I got into all that :)) I majored in Humanities, and all my life I thought I was going to work with texts and people. But then I discovered I do not like to write commercial text (SMM, content management, marketing) at all, and I would prefer a job where I have clear tasks. Yes, stressful at times maybe, but at least clear and straightforward (to release my creative side, I have my hobbies :)). Recently I got curious about IT stuff, had a few career consultations, and considered system analysis and data analysis. Free courses allowed me to get a taste of what it's like to work with numbers and spreadsheets. Surprisingly, I discovered that it felt so calm and clear (compared to everything related to marketing and journalism, - many of my ex-groupmates work in those spheres, but I guess I have a different type of personality.) Also, I think accounting as an area has been there for much longer than that whole IT stuff, and I’m not sure I would take my chances with the latter. And, as someone has already pointed out, there are many various firms, companies, and corporations that need accountants, so it doesn’t necessarily have to be an IT one, you’re not limiting yourself in such terms. I know that in my city, Big4 offers summer internships (I even have a friend who took one and then worked there for 7 years), and my current plan is to learn everything I can about accounting and then apply for the internship. I didn’t have good Maths teachers at school, so I never really had a chance to get interested in all that. I guess I have a lot to catch up on there :) The months of internship are going to be really hard money-wise (because these internships are either unpaid or very low-paid), but if I get a job offer after I complete the program, I hope it will become easier.

In marketing, everyday is different, no work is same, no project resembles the old one which is exciting but hard too! You've to come with new and out of the box ideas every single time!
