Personal Narrative: My Journey After High School

When people talk about accountant, CPA might be the first word that comes out in the mind. It is true that CPA is the most familiar type of accounting work for most of people. However, accountant is a person who works in accounting area. And accounting includes plenty of different types of jobs. The diversity in accounting attracts my interest and makes me decide to major in it. Since accounting contains many different kinds of works, it offers lots of chances to learn different areas in the economic system and even the whole world market. Lots of choices of different jobs is not the only reason that I am interested in being an accountant. Accountant is also a person who does his job in capital

Accountants are responsible in analyzing and assessing the revenue, expenses, reporting financial matters and giving advice about the financial health of their employer. They help their client to know the best way to run a business by tracking and analyzing where does the money of the business go. They also give suggestions on where money could be made and advice in budgeting the money in the business.

The purpose of accounting is to provide the information that needed to make sound economic decisions. It is one of the oldest professions in the world today, and the backbone of any business operation. It is not just about numbers, accounting is about planning. Accounting has many subfields, which includes management accounting, financial accounting, and cost accounting. Accounting can be a prestigious career, but to achieve that prestige you will have pass the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam and become a licensed accountant, and with that license you can work in any of the subfields.

II. Main Point #2. Contrary to popular belief, Accountants, and the tasks that they perform, are an important part of most people’s everyday life.

Accountants are relied upon to be trustworthy and maintain high ethical standards. It is because of the nature of the profession that puts them in a position of trust with people who rely on their professional judgment and guidance in making decisions. These decisions are extremely important in accounting and more so that companies that have high ethical standard or main good ethical culture spend enormous time to train the staffs about the conduct that is expected of them.

Accountants should always carry out the public responsibility, meaning they have a responsibility to ensure that the accounting functions are performed to the highest possible standards and the information which an organisation provides for its stakeholders is true and accurate. To reach the goal of improving the performance of accountants, there might be several steps to undertake. There should be on-going education to keep abreast with the existing and emerging

They require to make many various reports such as assets and liabilities, loss and profit, or other financial documents. Some other tasks they may do is to design accounting systems, financial forms, and instruction manuals for the firm’s accounting and bookkeeping workers to use. They give advice to the companies upon the investment, tax strategies, and risk management. They sometimes can train some other lesser skilled employees. Public accountants work for pubic accounting companies. They usually work for the offices, and they would use the computers as the reference and calculations.

“Tomás, what school do you want to go to this fall" my mother Martha, said to me. This along with the many “Hey, where are you going this fall? Want to room together at Ole Miss?” forced me to think about my impending future after my high school experience. Being from Mississippi I was not an Aggie from birth, my mother attended the University of Texas makes hissing noises* and my father, Thomas Braly Jr., attended a little school on Mackinac Island that ceased to exist only 4 years after opening. So with little to no major direction or fixed plans for my future I went with what I know and love, the water. All of the schools I applied and got accepted to had a sailing team or had maritime related courses, but Texas A&M here at Galveston just seemed to work

I agree many of accountants skills are used to keep track of business records much like scorekeepers at gaming events. I also agree most people have some form of accounting background like balancing a checkbook, paying taxes or reporting some form of income. Much like financial accountants if we do not do taxes or report our income we could get audit by the IRS.

I was given a life sentence at the age of seventeen. Since I was a freshman in highschool I have had plans to attend college after high school. I realized that I was an average student but I always tried hard in school hoping to one day impress the admissions board of a college I hoped to attend. I took classes in highschool that were completely out of my comfort zone in hopes to figure out what I would do with my life after high school. During junior year I was put into a web design class that submerged me into what seemed like another universe, the cyber world. I even learned a new language, program coding and how to design websites. I was fascinated and I would spend hours on end learning this new language. Soon I decided that I wanted to

My goal after high school is to go college for 4 years and take all the class that requires for my career, bank service. I want this job to be my career because it’s an indoor job, and it has to do with helping people organizing their finances, and not only because it’s an indoor job but also because it’s kind of a challenging job.

A public accountant either works for an accounting firm or has his or her own private business. A public accountant would be the person you would go get your taxes done by. Auditing, tax and financial planning, and consulting and providing advice about compensation and benefits all fall under the job description of a public accountant. In order to become a public accountant you need to pass the Uniform Certified Public Examination, once you do this you receive you become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). In order to ensure the protection of the public’s interest, the Uniform CPA Examination was put in place to screen upcoming CPA’s. This examination tests the technical knowledge and skills necessary for initial licensure.

I didn’t have an end goal for my academic career until high school. High school was when I finally felt like was set out on my own, and when I began to use the basic knowledge I was taught to enhance myself, interact with people I never knew before, and follow the new rules. The world became considerably larger and so did my future. As my future became greater, my goals began to clear up and become more precise. I had the future career options of science or math to history or art. It took the four years to narrow down my paths to what I want and where I want to go.

Accountants must have a good deal of experience working with computers. They develop computer applications to assist the analysis and presentation of their findings. Due to the e-commerce explosion, a majority of financial records are now web-related.
