WHAT DOES AN ACCOUNTANT DO?

An accountant is a person who performs functions like recording, classifying, and summarising financial data.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A GOOD ACCOUNTANT?

Strong sense of work ethics: A good accountant must be able to distinguish what’s right from what’s wrong, and display integrity in his or her accounting profession. 

Attention to detail: Accountancy is a sensitive profession that requires a high degree of accuracy, making it imperative for a good accountant to pay close attention to details. 

Knowledge of the field: As stated above, there are different sub-fields of accountancy, and it’s important to have a rich knowledge of a particular industry as well as the niche of a client’s business.
