There's a misconception that accounting is boring, but in reality the field offers a range of interesting career choices. Certified public accountants, or CPAs, often operate their own businesses and provide financial and tax-related services to organizations and individual clients. Another branch of accounting, auditing, focuses on identifying errors and discrepancies in financial records that indicate mismanagement. These occupations play an important role in the country's overall economic health. For this reason, experts predict strong demand for jobs in accounting in the years to come.
Our guest author, Susan Lowe, is a licensed CPA in the state of Massachusetts. Lowe currently works as a financial executive for nonprofit organizations that promote social advocacy and health and human services. With over 20 years of experience working in accounting and finance, Lowe shared with us what she believes to be some of the greatest benefits of working as an accountant. Seeking accounting career information? Read on for some of the top reasons to pursue a job in the field.
