Accountants: Stories From People Who've Done It: With information on education requirements, salary expectations and certification. (Careers 101 Kindle Book Series)

Hereâ€™s a little secret you should know: Accountants say their jobs keep them on their toes and the role is way more exciting than you think. Yes, these masters of mathematics balance much more than books â€” they act as teachers, risk meters and sounding boards, just to name a few, demystifying numbers and helping people succeed in personal finance and business. Author Gigi Little explores this fast-paced career through real-life stories from those savvy with a spreadsheet. â€œAccountants: Stories from People Whoâ€™ve Done Itâ€ looks at the history of the field, its outlook and the many paths lovers of logic and numbers can take. Youâ€™ll find practical information about getting started, certification notes, salary expectations, resources to look to and more.

Excerpt from the Book:

â€œBut accounting is more than just staring at numbers on a computer screen. Itâ€™s organizing and maintaining financial records, dissecting financial statements to ensure accuracy and compliance with the law, preparing tax returns, assessing financial systems for efficiency and consulting on ways to reduce costs, enhance revenue and improve profits. There are many different kinds of accountants, from the senior CPA who works as part of a large team hired to review the financial operations of a huge corporation, to the independent accountant taking care of bills and payroll for his small-business clients. The love of numbers stands at the top of the list of reasons people pursue accounting. Beyond the satisfaction that working with numbers brings, the profession has a good deal of job security.â€
