At first, I took the H&R Block tax prep course for a good way to earn a little money in my last undergraduate spring semester. I quickly learned that I had an affinity for that sort of work and it was absolutely fascinating. I earned a degree in acting, but loved taxation. I was face-to-face with the old theatre adage, “If you can see yourself doing anything else, do it." After working with H&R Block for three years seasonally and teaching classes to prospective employees, I went back to college to graduate with my masters in accounting. Now I pretty much love everything to do with accounting, not just taxation.

My grandfather was an accountant for Cargill for a number of years. He worked for a number of Texas companies that gpt consolidated until he worked at the largest privately held company in the United States. He retired in the 1990s as controller of the Phoenix, Arizona packing plant, with nothing more than a high school diploma. We still talk about accounting and the changes that have happened since he retired. I would like to think that we both get the same fire in our eyes when we discuss.

Technology has become more of a coworker than a tool. We do not use technology in accounting the way we did 20 years ago; working with it is crucial to the field. From something as simple as making a small spreadsheet to retrieving client reports, technology is the path to move present-day accountants forward. It's a little bittersweet that the days of the green bond ledger paper have gone.

The number one trend is cloud accounting. The companies with software are pushing hard for it; there is a reason that QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor is free and the desktop software ProAdvisor has a subscription cost. Desktop software is more expensive to make, so they want accountants to move to the cloud. Integration with apps is also trending. QuickBooks Online readily states that they expect a client to attach apps to the software to match their needs perfectly. Modern practitioners need several smaller, more specialized applications for their software suite.

Outside of work, I like to be involved in theatre and play tabletop games. Theatre is unlike anything else in my life. It allows the opposite of what I try to do with accounting: a small escape from what stresses you. I believe that the arts are critical to communication and the ability for people to connect. I also enjoy the planning and strategy of tabletop and video games. Losses are just as informative as efficient wins, and deducing those reasons helps me answer those questions better in my daily life. Finally, I both lead and play in tabletop role-playing games. The ability to create an entire world and build a story with your players is just as fun as playing in someone else’s world confining your actions to that of a character you made up; It helps you take risks you wouldn't in real life.

Accounting you can understand.
