Whats the pros of being an Accountant
and the cons
The answer:
well, it's a well
paid job - but if you love maths and data, the chances are that you
would become very bored with being an accountant.
The work is rather repetitive and most businesses have software that does all the double entries for you. To be an accountant in this day and age is more about being knowledgeable on the law regarding Income Tax and VAT - so it might be a good idea for you to take a look at HMCR on the website and see what you think.
I would imagine that you are quite young and that you are looking for career direction. See if you can get a work placement as a purchase ledger or sales ledger controller - it is more likely to be purchase ledger, but if they know why you want the placement they are likely to help you. That way you will have some idea of what you are up against!
I wish you all the luck in the world - but to be honest, accountancy doesn't have anything to do with maths and only a minimal amount to do with arithmetic.
