I want to become an Accountant and the particular job I found lists these key skills: Ability to work effectively with team members and other leaders to achieve goals and successfully implement business initiatives Excellent planning skills with the ability to define, analyze, and resolve issues quickly and accurately Ability to handle multiple priorities successfully Flexible, adaptable, and can adjust to a rapidly changing and growing environment Detail-oriented with excellent follow-up Very good with data analysis, critical thinking and problem-solving The reason I want to become an Accountant is because I feel like it requires skills I am naturally prone to already, such as being detail-oriented, planning, and critical thinking. My job as a Bookkeeper also helps me fine-tune these skills. The abilities I am not too familiar with are data analysis and implementing business initiatives. I have already learned some data analysis at EVCC and I believe I would quickly get the hang of the skills I lack. I would be very open to learning and not be afraid to ask questions, this will help me learn these skills as quickly as possible
