What is accounting?

The world of business rests on an accountants shoulders, for they are responsible for the management and analysis of transactions and capital holdings. Another, more old fashioned term for an accountant is a "bookkeeper" as the responsibilities of an accountant will centre on overseeing and analysing a company's (or individual’s) financial accounts - their "books" and documents.

Those talented in accountancy will have the skills of attention to detail, a mindfulness of numbers, adaptability and strong organisational ability. They must also be aware of the dedication required to pursue the profession, and having the desire to continually learn and relearn as markets and laws change is a key part of the job.
