My Career

My choice of my future job is to be an accouuntant, auditor, or basically an office lady, That said, it is something related to the business sector of industries.
The reason why I chose to be working in an office is that I do not fancy working in the service sectors, nor working in the outdoors. However, one reason as to why I choose to specifically be an accountant or auditor is that I am very interested in the subject of Mathematics, and I really like studying it. Furthermore, it is one of the subjects that I am good in, thus affirming my choice to venture in the areas of being in the business sector. Given that accountancy and auditing involves the manipulation and usage of numbers, I believe that my interest is surely useful in that particular career. The second reason is that I am interested in the subject Economics as well, even though I may not necessarily be very good at it. Addiionally, almost everyone in my family is working as an accountant or auditor in some big firms in Singapore, thus my choice is also slightly influenced by all the choices of jobs made by my family. Therefore, this made me want to continue the trend and to also do well in the business sector.
There are many qualifications to being an accountant. Accountants have to be really good with numbers, have to be meticulous, logical and methodical. They even have to be good in IT skills and in softwares like Microsoft Excel, since offices are increasingly becoming paperless environments, and everything is increasingly reliant on technologies. They would also need good communication skills and to be able to understand the client’s business. Many companies also look for applicants that hold an accredited accountancy degree.
Such qualifications are closely linked to the job scope of accountants. Accountants are split into many different types and sectors, but they are generally required to prepare and examine financial records of a particular company or client's company and business. They ensure that financial records are accurate and that taxes are paid properly and on time. This is to assess financial operations and work to help ensure that organizations run efficiently. Some even recommends financial actions to their company by analyzing accounting options. An Accountant earns an average salary of SGD$46,252 per year.
