Thank you for your videos. You are one of my top accounting TH-cam influencers! Do you have a recommendation on the best first job out of college for new accountants at a public accounting firm? Do you think Auditing is the best first job or consulting? The consulting opportunity is a Finance and Accounting Outsourcing role (big focus on AP/AR, NetSuite, technology, accounting lifecycle, etc.). For long-term career goals, I think Financial Analyst, Assistant Controller, or Audit Manager. Which first job do you think gives new graduates the best foundation? Thank YOU!
Both opportunities are fabulous and will set you up nicely. The only distinction is that if you want to become a CPA audit is going to be the route to go. But even still, you can ask the hiring team in consulting whether the experience will qualify you for CPA
@@TheFinancialController Is it better to go into tax or audit straight out of college? I am leaning for tax, but which one gives better accounting foundation?
+1 for communication! Every role in accounting deals with customer service, team work, and the ability to communicate complicated information in a meaningful way. A few years in auditing will take you far and be a springboard for your career. Good luck to you all!
100% agree with all of them. Improving upon these three skills earned me a 2.5X salary increase within 12 months amidst the cost of living crisis. I also used strategy within my career but these three skills helped me demonstrate my worth.
Any tips for the no.1 skill which is communication? How to build up a strong communication skill in accounting? I agree with you that it's the most important one.
Take a role as an auditor for a few years! I worked at a local firm and had roughly 40 clients a year. That forced me to become comfortable talking with strangers, asking tough questions, and remembering names. I'm still so so with the last one, but my communication skills have landed me a great job as a senior accountant at one of the largest companies in the world! 😁 Big 4 is great too but leverage the skills you have to fill the role you want!
Watching your videos has booted my confident. Your tips and techniques are awesome. i try to automate my tasks but never get a credit for it but i believe i did the right things. Thanks very much for sharing your experience. I wish many managers learn from you. 🙏
Being a good manager is important too. There are two many accountants who are poor managers. There are those who still think it's appropriate to threaten people with their jobs, are very agressive, humiliate people, even in front of others. Set impossible tasks even without agreeing/informing a team member beforehand, then, repeatedly hassle them remind them. Also the advent of new software, is at risk of leaving the younger generation not knowing how to fix an issue, or how to do it in alternative ways, as they are reliant on data sources and methods such as queries.
Communication is not an accounting skill, and neither is setting up AP process (that's controller/management job). _GL mapping _Excell _Attention to detail _quantitavtive and analytical
Agree with you, for regular accountant, communication is not #1 skill until they become one of the top managers and need to explain the numbers with shareholders/owners
Hello, I appreciate for your videos. May I ask you one simple question? If you are on 3~5 years of your career and in a senior accountant position of mid-sized firm, will you take an offer from small company (like 15~20 employees) as accounting manager with higher salary? or will you stay, learn more and make a move to bigger company's manager level? More general question will be, is it beneficial to be in charge of accounting department in small company where they don't receive audit, or learn several parts of accounting in mid sized company? Thank you!
Smaller companies are lots of fun, but I am afraid 15-20 headcount is too small. I prefer you go to a 50+ headcount company. Unless that 15-20 one has a killer product and will be a rocketship ride. If Money is the bigger motivator, don't go to small companies (sub 100 employees). But if you want to combine money with a bit of fun engaging work, you pickup a couple of ~50 HC along the way
First you are awesome Second you are my best model in term of my career I want to build Third hireee meeeee , I am stuck in a cycle where I need to be employed for experience, on the other hand all the employers I met want experience to be hired. Help me to solve this issue please. Thanks for such a beautiful content ❤️
University of Nevada Reno offers a combined Bachelors degree in Accounting/Information systems as well as a BS in Accounting. Which degree would likely lead to the most valuable skills and career prospects?
Those aren't highest paid, they're what you look for most in a candidate. 1 and 3 are fine, 2 is so when you fire them you have everything documented to teach the next guy how to replace them.
Do employers as small as Mom and Pop shops to Big 4 firms care about whether your accounting school AACSB vs ACBSP accredited? What about online programs like WGU that aren't just diploma mills? I cannot find any videos on this topic.
could you please let me know that which is best post graduate diploma in account and taxation or PG diploma in account and auditing as i didn't have maths after 10 & don't want to do deep maths & i am eco arts graduate so wanted to do mba or pg diplomas with skill in accounting so tell me please AdFa or PGDCa, pgdcaa or PGDCAT, which is crucial
Sir can you make a video on how to jump in FP&A job market from a typical accounting task. As per my experience it is very hard to get into that if you're doing typical accounting task roles as job adverts only considers relevant profiles despite having an CA qualification.! Thanks
I wish to do a master's degree or cpa canada. I am an indian CA. Which field shall I specialise in like which pays the most (is auditor, taxation, boa auditing )
Can you suggest any course on automation? I have been working for an accounts outsourcing company in SAP. So what kind of a course can help me to proceed further 🙏
Start by talking to your family members and while doing so, make an effort to present your ideas clearly. Any topic is fine, politics, current news, etc.
Actually, there is a accountant with a 4 years degree...she is working as a covid tracer...she stated accounting only paid 16/hr ....covid tracing paid 18/hr...why would a person spend 4 yrs to get an accounting degree just to work as a temporary covid tracer?
I'm an introvert also, but I don't let my quiet nature become shy. Staying focused on my passion (accounting) & work ethics is what helps me. I love what I do, I'm not going to let myself stand in the way of being successful. Every day is a process & progress. I look forward to 5pm to be me again.🤐🙂
You are correct but not 100%, You need to mention Excel , power BI and Technical skills. Also, you are missing the certication such as CPA CMA, ETC. You need to educate your self more
I am new in usa and want to get accounting job .i have more than 10 years of experience in india but for usa i am new so what should i do to get job in usa . Please advice.
I know this is gonna sound hard, but long term it’s best if you transfer the credits from your Indian college to a US college then use that toward getting a degree in the USA because US employers favor US college degrees
@@TheFinancialController i have evaluated report for my degree and mark sheet for admission in cpa course . Also i want to know whether can i show indian experience in my resume or i have to consider me as a fresher ? Can i show my evaluated report during interview ?

Attention to detail, high accuracy, analytical, and organization are also very valuable in all levels of accounting.

Any update? Also, is your job somehow related to accounting?

Would you say it would be wise to invest time into PowerBI as staff & senior accountant role? Maybe a video idea.
Interesting idea for a video. But can you tell me a little bit more on how you think power BI will improve your career as a senior accountant?
I applied to a job as a bookkeeper/office manager power BI skill was needed for analysis.
I would consider power BI more like a tool than a skill, combining that tool with good communication skill and you’ll be the rockstar
