For me, accounting is more than just numbers on a page. Without our field, businesses wouldn’t have the insights they need to run, adapt, and grow. But I didn’t always feel this way about my line of work. My original plan wasn’t to become an accountant—the profession didn’t call out to me like it did for some of my colleagues. All I knew was I wanted to go into business, and I knew without accounting, I couldn’t understand a company. It’s an important subset of knowledge to have.
