Professional accountants, as Cincinnati native
Josh Greene knows, are always in demand, and are often essential, even
indispensable components of countless organizations throughout the world. With
this ever-present demand for those with accounting education and experience, it
becomes important for aspiring CPAs to know exactly what their career options
are following the reception of their degree.
There are numerous types of accounting fields
available to the aspiring professional. These include, but aren’t limited to:
Managerial
This type of accounting is generally centered on
providing necessary information to management professionals, or those within
the basic management infrastructure of an organization. Managerial accounting
includes such aspects as cost analysis, financial analysis, forecasting and
budgeting, and more.
Financial
Under the umbrella of Financial Accounting,
professional responsibilities often include classifying and recording business
transactions, the preparation and presentation of financial statements (GAAP
compliance) and the overall processing of an organization’s historical
financial data.
Tax
Tax Accounting helps an accountant’s clients
ensure their financials are always in compliance with the current rules/laws
set forth by present day tax code. This field generally involves the legal
minimization of tax liability and all decisions made regarding taxes and their
consequences.
