Accountant Reviews
What is it like working as an Accountant?
July 2014
Stick It Out, It Gets Better.
Accountant:
I learned that school only prepares you for a very small and technical part of the career. Upon graduation, that's when the real learning begins and it gets exciting when it comes time to expand and perfect your knowledge in a specific industry, so choose wisely.
July 2014
Challenging.
Accountant:
Pros: The corporate culture is very informal. I do not have to take responsibility for anything.
Cons: I do not have to take responsibility for anything and so does no one else. It's like a bus without a driver.

Fairly good.

Cons: Nothing.
May 2014
All Accountants Are Not Tax Accountants.
Accountant:
Tax is boring and with automation, will not be the sole focus of accounting firms. I recommend doing a double degree in IT or Business Administration along with an accounting degree. This will open up more opportunities as accounting moves into the new age, Cloud.

Young And Vibrant Team Of Professionals.
Accountant:
Pros: People are good to work with, a range of different types and variety of work.
Cons: Expected to work very hard for little pay.
