Many employers have worked hard to create diverse environments that appeal to men and women within their businesses, increasing their company’s productivity as well as the satisfaction of their workforce.

2. It’s varied. There are numerous options within the field of accounting, and you will find plenty of opportunities to move into different roles or take on more responsibility as you gain experience. Private corporations, government agencies and charitable organisations all offer chances to apply your skills and interests to your work, and there are numerous opportunities to work on a self employed or freelance basis as well. Roles within business can be as diverse as the nature of business itself, and you can be sure that boredom will not be a feature of the job!

3. It’s well-respected. Accountancy is a highly valued, complex role that commands respect across the world of business. Accountants provide an essential service and will always be appreciated due to their exceptional skill level and commitment. Professionals on every level need the specialised knowledge and abilities of an accountant, and whatever environment you work within, your expertise will be appreciated.

4. It’s rewarding. Being satisfied in your career is very important to your work-life balance and it’s essential to pursue a career that you love.
