Answer 1 :
I am a qualified chartered accountant (ACCA) and believe me you do not need to be highly proficient at Maths in order to succeed. The job entails using a calculator in order to carry out computations. What you need is the ability to study hard for exams, the ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, and the ability to memorise a huge amount of technical and legal knowledge. Work hard and good luck!
Answer 2 :
learn your Excel and Quicken and some of the newer programs that are available. you will also need a little business savvy to understand what you are doing. Also I would suggest you narrow down what categories of accounting you want to pursue. Accounting involves all kinds of areas from purchasing accounts receivable/payable, inventory, payroll, taxes and statistics. don't get too many of these mixed up as you will get everythng mixed and it will drive you crazy!!! Good luck in your endeavours!!!
Answer 3 :
I've been an accountant for ten years. I work for a fortune 500 hundred company. I want to get out of the field. It is the most boring, least rewarding job I can think of. If you don't mind sitting in front of a computer for hours on end just juggling numbers around to make everything balance, then go for it. If you want to do something that requires math skills there so many interesting fields you can go into- engineering, architecture, math teacher, chemistry.
Answer 4 :
i'm an accountent and i'm not even qualified, in fact, i haven't even got my GCSE results back, and even that was going to be an E or a D for maths. the thing is, you don't need to be good at maths just someone willing to hire you without a qualification because you can get the computer and a calculator to do it all for you. so yeah, if i am one, then anyone can be one! i find it fun because it is all computer work, there isn't that much maths to do with all the modern technology.
