Hi Bill, just wanted to let you know that i really appreciate your videos especially those meant for interviews. I’ve graduated a while ago in international business so not even specialised in Finance& Accounting, and without any work experience related. But only by watching your videos like a week or two, I have revised so much of the financial knowledge (even understood it more now), become a lot more confident during the interviews and successfully got myself a job as Financial Administrator with a very good salary. I can’t thank you enough for what do on this channel. I will keep watching your videos and wish you all the best in your career!
I am an introvert and I am good at FP&A. You don't have to talk a lot. What's more important is when you open your mouth it's value to your stakeholders.
I agree. I wouldn't say FP&A is for extroverts. Sales is definitely for extroverts, but anything in Accounying/Finance an introvert would do well in. The biggest difference that an introvert may not like in FP&A is that you'd have to be comfortable doing presentations, but that depends on the company. When I worked in FP&A, VP and CFO handled all presentations. FP&A has more creativity since you're creating forecasts and various reports/graphs/presentations. Accounting is booking things that already happened, so not much creativity there.
After graduating from college with a BA in accounting, I landed a job as a Full Charge Bookkeeper. I’ve been with the company three years. I do any accounting or administrative tasks related to 9 business in CA & AR. I will be attempting to pass the CPA by the end of 2022.
I love these types of discussions. Please talk more about the role your personality plays in your career.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This subject has been in my mind for a while now as Im an introvert, and you two have provide me with great insights. Keep up with the quality contents Bill!
Hi Bill...i believe that accounting is also an art and wouldn't require that typical person of an introvertive personality. Some people might have all the skills but lack the social impetus to secure their dream jobs...so its good to have a blend of academic and social skills
Hello Bill and Maria. First, just wanted to let you know that I’ve watched all of your videos and I love the content -Its very helpful. I’m glad you are doing a segment to answer questions.

Hello Sir, I just completed my
Hello Bill and Maria, my job title does not match with my responsabilities. In the company I work for, my job title is financial controller, but I do not manage any balance sheet, P&L, income statement, cash flow, etc. (Only the deputy CFO does that in my company).
