The reason i am watching this video is because the man character in my story is a financial manager, and this video helps so much that I can actually focus on how he does his work and why it's awesome. Thank you for the video!

[@manafal-balushi3298]

WOAH THATS SO AWESOME, lol its interesting to see writers actually research to build their characters

Being a chartered accounting aspirant, I would say Accounting is not easy at all until you understand its practical approach

[@porshealewis158]

Objectives are open and achievable if actions are taken

Estimation is one of the most valuable skills there is. I can say that for sure.

That is just a part of accounting field. There’s a lot of careers u could choose from for being an accountant but first u have a attain a certification to advance ur competitors like CPA certification or if u want to work in finance u can choose CFA or both.

[@nikopriest6762]

The hardest part of accounting is the work load, the actual accounting is easy.. but when you work for a company like Walmart or Target that sells 100+ products, has 20+ vendors and every other week is a sale.. AND a not so productive team, it gets ugly lol

[@KRMukundan]

Yes accounting by itself is easy but its a lot of work

[@moustafaalbatran5304]

does it deal with interest when recording transaction?

[@OS1540]

Usually management consultants are the ones who help businesses analyze the market before deciding to launch a new product. The finance people do the forecasting and analyze the time it takes to recoup the investment. And accountants really just look at historical financials after the fact.

[@AdelitaWilliam-dl7ci]

This is a fantastic video. It's clear and easy to understand your explanations. Thank you for providing this information.

[@evanhaney5884]

It’s a terrible video and completely inaccurate in describing what finance/consulting does re: fact gathering/modeling/guiding decision making

[@Thezampanini]

It’s hysterical that this video is saying an accountant makes the decision on long term company trajectory. The accountant reports to the controller/comptroller. The controller reports to the CFO. The CFO makes the decision after providing his teams prepared reports and consulting with the CEO. As an accountant, you sit at a desk all day crunching and reporting numbers. They are low man on the totem pole for large corporate initiatives.

[@evanhaney5884]

Completely agree. Also the finance team would define the scope, gather info, model the financials, and report their findings to leadership to support decision making

[@KRMukundan]

[@maddie9095]

i mean you do everything with a calculator sooo...

[@julianricch3157]

@@maddie9095 oh sugar frr?

[@miyegiri8830]

in fact, accounting only contains basic math such as addition, subtraction, and division (multiplying often involved in percentages) and yeah, it’s easier since we have calculators! Being good at making and organizing spreadsheets is another fundamental skill when you’re an accountant, and you also need to have knowledge about statistics and constructing presentations~

[@TheMicnpark]

Accounting has no math. Basic math doesnt count.

[@truthsetusfree4856]

Math doesn't need in accounting, it requires your deep genuine analyzation of the financial transactions

[@nuiben7579]

This video does not accurately reflect what Accountants do. Accountants are hired to deal with convoluted rules and to do the record keeping for people. Its not glamorous and we could not tell you whether or not you should sell markers until you've sold them for at least 5 years and demonstrated profitability or a trend toward it.

[@TheMicnpark]

And most accountants do not forecast st all. There are controllers, CFOs etc

[@AntonnyTan]

What shown in this video is CFO field. Majority of accountants just doing record.

[@karimjalali7970]

So who makes the predicitions finance majors? I don't think so as they evolve around the question on how to finance the company not necessiraly it's financial health like accountants. Also from what I hear from a lot of billlionnaires is that they wish they studied accounting because it really the "engineering of business". Also most CFO comes from accounting background. Also, CPAS tend to have serious knowledge on corporate law and fiscality, wich make them able to make very strategic financial decisions for the company.

[@nuiben7579]

@@karimjalali7970 Your first mistake was trusting that a billionaire was telling you the truth. Go ahead and waste 5 years studying accounting, get your CPA and find out whether or not the field is just a soul crushing grind where only the least ethical and cutthroat survive.

Be careful tho. Being a company accountant can also make you HR and assistant manager at the same time if the boss sees he can cut costs by hiring one person to do 20 jobs

Why does the accountant have to look nerdy lol

Cause' by corporate law they must wear and behave like that or else... As well when they become priavte accountants - it hust becomes a habit. Why I did not want to be part of the corporate world just go digital nomad straight away.
