In spite of being labeled "bean counters," accountantscan have exciting, challenging careers in a variety of fields! Because there are so many areas of accounting in which you can specialize, it can be a bit difficult to know where to start. Careful evaluation of yourstrengths can help to narrowyour choices, as can prioritizing what you value in an accounting career.

  1. Evaluation. Before you decide on a career in accounting, evaluate what's important to you.Accounting can encompass a wide variety of jobs. If you desire an accounting career that allows you to travel, you may want to consider becoming an auditor. Auditorswork within a company foras long as two weeks to determine whether the company's accounting is accurate and responsible. They present their findings to the company's management, and then move on to the next company.If you do not want to travel, there are many accounting positions which involve very littletravel, such as budget analysts and cost accountants.

    Another area to evaluate is how many hours you would like to work per week. If you don't mind long hours, management accounting may be for you. Management accountant positions typically involve more responsibility anda moreadvanced degree than other areas of accounting. Tax accountants also put in long hours, but usually only during tax season, which is fromJanuary through April.

    Before you choose to enter accounting, you'll also need to determine what your strengths and weaknesses are. Accounting careers require close attention to detail, an aptitude for math, and the ability to work both alone and in groups effectively.In addition, it's important that you can work well with computers and learn new tasks quickly.Because accounting covers such an array of tasks, you may frequently be called upon to perform new job duties.

    If you still feel that accounting is the right career choice for you, it's on to the next step!
