Is the accounting job hard?

[@groomba1831]

@@Rome5.0 I’m only 5 days in so I’m still very new, but I would say the most difficult part so far is the abundance of information I need to absorb. Each process I’m shown on its own is not necessarily “hard,” but remembering how to do all of them can get overwhelming. Either way, Im sure with time and practice everything will become second nature so I’m not too worried

Where did you search for a job? I just recently graduated and am having difficulties in beginning my search, after watching the video I do happen to have a rough idea of the position I want. I just don’t know which sites to use though

[@groomba1831]

@@jaysonm2552 I used Indeed. Make sure you put time into creating/ refining your resume. I wasn’t looking for a specific job during my search due to my lack of experience. I just wanted anything that was in accounting and had a starting salary that I considered to be fair. I applied to jobs that I thought were slightly out of my reach and ended up getting one of them. Don’t waste your time applying for jobs that you’re wildly unqualified for but do try jobs that you have most of the qualifications for. With those tips and a bit of luck, you’ll find something in no time!

I only have a 2 year degree and was hired on as a junior accountant (I actually am the only accountant and do both financial reporting and cost accounting). I beat out the other 93 applicants. It is possible! It is challenging as I don’t have experience but I am an extremely quick learner and since I feel like I need to swim or sink, I’m swimming for my life lmao.

Where did you study for 2 year degree? How can I take a 2 year degree course? Thank you for your response

[@Nic-xr1og]

There are technical colleges in the US that offer 2 year degrees. They are primarily focused around working adults. They basically cut most of the fluff out so a bachelors degree, while it would be more rounded and “better”, doesn’t really teach you that much more on a cost-benefit ratio. However, most companies want bachelor degrees unfortunately.

The final job listing for the accounts payable accountant, at the 19:09 mark, says it requires 3 years experience. How is this entry level? It seems like getting an accounting degree is incredibly overrated. Here's a job that requires three years experience and pays 55k. That's not particularly good. It seems like there are a lot easier and enjoyable degrees and career paths to be making similar money. Most of the entry level jobs I see (the ones requiring 0-2 years experience) pay around 18 dollars per hour, which is barley over minimum wage in New York (Min Wage is 15 per hour). I just saw a post tha required a BS in accounting, preferred a Masters and progress towards a CPA, and required 3-5 years experinece and the job was paying 45k per year. Really amazing.

@@TheFinancialController Thank you, Just out of curiously what website can I go to see career opportunity for tax/audit or anything else. I don't know what I really want to do. Am planning on getting CPA since everyone says its good to get. Thinking controller and hoping CFO but still open to anything.

Hello, I’m a recent graduate that did my Bachelors in Fashion Merchandising. I’m currently in the process of changing fields into accounting and I start my masters in Accounting in a few weeks. I do have a minor in Business but I was wondering with the background I have what entry level jobs should I start looking at or internships should I look at once I start my accounting career?

Are there any skills I can start developing that’ll improve my chances of getting one of these positions? I’m a recent graduate (BA in accounting). I’m more interested in the billing analyst and accounts receivable positions.

can you plz make vdo specifically on CPA related jobs, interview Q & salary range for entry level ?

I'm making a career change and self teaching myself to become a billing analyst or accounts payable clerk. This video helped me figure out that yes that's something I would be interested in.

Great!!

[@alexanderaroneo6975]

Great video! I’m looking to get my masters in accounting with a non-accounting undergrad background. I know you’ve said public is the best place to start, what kind of role is best for life/work balance? I know it’ll vary by the firm, but is it generally better at larger or smaller sized public firms? I know big 4 is bad for work/life balance.

[@TheFinancialController]

Depends on your goal. Say it’s a controller at some point. Grinding it for 2-3 years at big4 or regional firm gets you there sooner (but low work life balance) . But you can also get there with a smaller public cpa firm with better work life balance, but takes you a bit longer to get to target role

[@RT-hz5uv]

If the average pay as about $47k, why are there so many different positions also included in your video showing a pay scale in the high $50k?

[@TheFinancialController]

The keyword is “average”

[@RT-hz5uv]

I understand what average means. I'm referring to jobs beyond the scope of positions in your video. A lot of companies put a salary range in their job description but in all actuality is usually much lower for entry level.

Save your money and get an undergrad certificate in accounting. There is plenty of good schools that offer it, i did mine online at Penn Foster. This helps give you the 150 credit hours to become a CPA! Currently working on exams now.

I’m a sophomore currently majoring in finance, but I really like my accounting class. I don’t know if I should switch to accounting or stay in finance. Could I still become an accountant with a finance major if that’s what I end up wanting to do?

[@TheFinancialController]

very hard to become an accountant without an accounting degree, but possible. My advice is that if not too late, to switch over the bean-counting world ;)

What about a BBA emphasis with accounting? Can I be an accountant in this major? Please help me by answering my questions because I got accepted to a university with this major and I wanted to be an accountant.

Is it possible to make around $80K in accounting without CPA? How restricted is your career without that certificate?

In the US yes. Without cpa things tend to cap out at that range, unless you move into more fp&a where the numbers are bigger

@@TheFinancialController I disagree. From my Experience, There are positions in the company I work, for that are directors and above without CPA, making well over $100k. I work in manufacturing, and this specific industry and company has manufacturing plants all over the world. Each plant has a controller with a team. The department’s are referred to as “finance departments”, but do mostly accounting work. The company I work for is also publicly traded. Lastly, most of the people I’ve come across are not CPAs, actually have never met any out of the hundreds of interactions I’ve had. I’m in automotive fyi.
