Hello Rihanna,
Accounting is an excellent career choice full of abundant opportunities. As with all professions, it comes with its own set of responsibilities. Given that a company's profit and loss are determined based on accounting information, it's crucial to ensure its accuracy. Although it's extremely rare, serious mistakes or intentional inaccuracies could lead to potential legal action. However, don't let this scare you. Instead, let it underline the importance of the role you play as an accountant. Embrace these responsibilities with seriousness and integrity, and you'll find the profession both rewarding and fulfilling.

Hi Rihanna,
I was a junior in high school when I took my first financial accounting class. Financial accounting can be difficult at first because you need to understand the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Owners' Equity) and debits and credits. Then, learn how to create a journal entry. The purpose of financial accounting is to produce financial statements and communicate to external stakeholders how the business is performing.
It's a challenging course, but also very rewarding.

Hi,
I am retired now and became an accountant because I took an elective course during high school and found that I loved it. Accounting was easy for me. It just made sense. To become an accountant you must be very detail oriented. I would say the worst thing is the very extensive number of rules that you must know and be able to implement. The rules continue to evolve and require constant education and upgrading.
Accountants are sometimes not valued as they are considered "administration" and when it comes to cutting costs in an organization "administration" is the first place to look. Therefore it becomes harder to do the job with fewer people to do the same or even more work.
Best of Luck
