A question was running through my mind for the whole week. I’m sure that every accounting student/accountant might forget the actual goal while getting lost through the process. 

To answer the question let's go back to my memory, Shall we?

It all started with MONEY, right?

Who was his family money keeper when we were little? Personally, I was fascinated by how money works, how can I earn more?  Or spend it? But mostly I kept saving it. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the analysis processes of accounting once I took a financial accounting course. 

One of my reasons was that I started my first business, And I had to  know more about how I plan budgets, track financial activities, and  reduce the amount that costs me. All the signs are taking me to ACCOUNTING. 

This is a reminder to all the accounting students out there, and anyone who's planning to be an accountant

Here are a few reasons why I’m an accountant:

Always Solving Accounting Puzzles

Who else likes to solve puzzle games?

The most interesting puzzle of all is the financial statement. I get excited when the financial statement balance.

And, how we can turn losses into profits or how to apply IFRS to a particular transaction!

Opportunities in Any Industry You Choose!

Everyone needs an accountant! whether it's a government, company, or nonprofit organization! Most importantly you can be your own accountant for own your business!

Decision making 

By analyzing the data anyone can take their decision easily! Accountants get to use the information to inform of financial performance, identify  historical trends, understand market conditions and competitiveness, and  make projections for the future. 

Communicate in business language 

I see myself, not just as an accountant but as a business owner. Even a  business partner! What a marvelous opportunity to know the profession's secret, the business language! which provides and interprets financial data  and its impact on the business. 

I passionately see myself as an educator who imparts knowledge on  financial information to the decision makers.

Lastly, Lifelong learning lover?

This is where you belong! As an accountant, you will need to follow regulations, which are always evolving.

Keep going ACCOUNTANTS!
