I am a 16 year old female at The Business of Sports School. My school doesn't offer an accounting program right now, but I would like to know what requirements i need in order to become an accountant. |

Hi, you should check out the answer to this question: http://careervillage.org/questions/256/what-subjects-do-you-have-to-major-in-to-be-best-at-accounting The most important things to work on are your math skills (take 4 years of math, including calculus!), and your communication skills. Even if your school doesn't have an accounting class, you can "real-life" (and super valuable) practice in accounting skills by doing things like making a budget and sticking to it, helping your parents with their tax returns, or running for class treasurer. |

For entry-level positions, we usually expect candidates to have a four year degree with a major in accounting from an undergraduate business school. We like to see that candidates have internships or part-time experience in accounting departments which they've accumulated during their schooling. |
