In today's world the profession of accounting consistently ranks first in the rankings of the most popular professions. In addition, it is - the most common and demand among all specialties financial profile. According to statistics, every twentieth employee finds this profession attractive and successfully realizes itself in it.

But whether each person can become an accountant, is this too hard?

All the hardships and joys of accountancy, I decided to check on me. To do this between me and my friend accountant was concluded win or lose agreement, under which I promised one day to perform all its duties. In turn, she agreed to write my term paper on the economy. Inspired by such a high price to pay for day work, I set off on a journey ...

Day of an accountant "began for me at six in the morning. It was at this time had to get up in time to drop in to the office for a power of attorney and documents, and then have time to take a turn in the tax office. All capital IRS begin to work from nine in the morning. But in order to have time to submit a report to the dinner, come to the inspection should have at least an hour before it opened. At five minutes to ten I, frozen and tortured by hours of waiting at the door, warming up in the narrow corridor of inspection, and an hour later there was the sight of a tax inspector. It turns out, pass the report is not difficult - the main difficulty is to make it properly. This work requires a tremendous amount of time and energy - and how, because the accountant must ensure that converge all items of income and expenditure. Sometimes the purpose of the accountant are only a few rubles. But, then, to find in the columns of figures tiny bug that prevents the desired zero as a result, have to spend a few hours, and even a couple of days.

Since my report there were no errors (and how, because then it was not me), after 15 minutes of the declaration had been submitted, and I proudly left the door inspections.

Now my path lay in the bank, where it was necessary to take statements. Bank was at the opposite end of town, and the road from IRS to correct my organization has taken away 40 minutes. Most of the capital account workers spend half a day in the subway, in buses or in bus, and only a few accountants are lucky enough that the leader gives them a car and driver, who quickly and comfortably delivers passengers to the door of the desired office. Since neither my friend nor I have even more to such accountants are not treated until the bank had to get his way. Take the statement of work not made up, except for another small line, which had to be defended. About two hours later I returned to the office. There I find out what is currently his office my friends do not. The room being renovated, and now she shares a room with managers.

- That's nothing, many accountants in general, his office, no! - Cheerfully tells me it is - but I will.

... Day of the accounting worker slowly trickled on. Now I need to work in the office. This work is connected to my friend to tell me how and what to do. I check the mail, reply to customer letters, and then the dictation enter some data into the accounting program ... In parallel with this, my friend is preparing a declaration of income and provides a virtual consultation at one of the accounting forums. To learn more about "labor everyday life" of the capital accountant, I asked a friend of her duties.

- Now I'm very loaded with a report and inventory, - she said - stitched documents for 2008, an archive, in general, something gradually completed. Even this week I need to prepare the remains of products in stock.

When I asked what that meant, my friend just laughs: "That's the secret accounts. All the cards I will not open. These balances for a whole day of work. We have the firm are so many things, the nomenclature of the goods is very high."

I confess that the life of an employee of accounting upon closer examination, turned out to be not so cloudless, which seemed to me initially, I was tired and already looking forward, and when to end a day, and I go home in peace. And then, finally, the clock showed 18-00, which meant that the working day is over, and we were going home.

- If I am delayed for an hour - no more, in our company decided not to be - a friend said to me when we leave the office.

Because I conducted an experiment, I realized that to become an accountant can not only be responsible and organized people, simply because an accountant does not have the right to forget or lose documents and take statements do not in time. Candidate registration workers must necessarily possess mathematical ability, as will always have to deal with numbers. Working with documents and records requires a high concentration. It is also desirable to have a good memory and logical thinking, and, of course, perseverance, means your humble servant, unfortunately does not possess. So become an accountant I do not shine. Despite all these requirements, most experts in the field of accounting agree that their profession does not require any supernatural abilities. The main thing – you have to like it.
