What subjects are good for accounting?
In the near future i'm meant to be choosing my A level subjects, i've chosen not to do IB already. Although i don't know what job i want i was thinking of being an accountant/financial adviser for big firms. So basically I don't really know what subjects to do. I like Biology and French the most so i'll probably be doing those but i need to choose 2 more.

Answer 4 :
Take economics (micor/macro), not the general high school courses. Statistics, and maybe a Computer/Business course to familiarize yourself with excel.
Answer 5 :
Hi, I study accounting at university and I would say that you need to know Excel, so something that does Excel is good and this will offer you transferrable skills. Statistics is another subject which is good, however my experience of statistics as a module is that the central premise that 'noone knows anything' but you will have to work hard. Once again if you have a knowledge of Excel you will be fine. Maths obviously but critical analysis is good as you often have to be able to analyse the balance sheet looking for a story (ie. why is a company making a profit/loss and how can you increase/decrease it). A business subject if you can is good. What you could do is look at a prospectus and then consider your options. good luck and I love accounting it really is good fun
