Marc’s Answer

Hi Dylia,
Accounting is interesting as it helps building trust. Not sure whether there is a lot of math knowlegde needed - obviously it depends on how you define math. The fun thing I learned about math is the more you practice and read and talk about it with your friends/fellow students/teachers, the better you will understand.

Give it a try and enjoy!

Connor’s Answer

Hi Dylia,

Accounting is a great field of study. At my university they would always say that it is "The Language of Business". I would say that the hard piece of accounting is how should I categorize these number or what type of math should I do to all the numbers vs doing difficult calculations. You need to understand how things should be classified and how to calculate totals but adding or subtracting these groupings of numbers. That is accounting in a nutshell.

If it is interesting then pursue it, even if the math is hard. Who is to say that you can't become great at math anyway? Just because it comes more difficult doesn't meant that you can't be great at it.


Goodluck!

Amrit’s Answer

Accounting doesn't require much Math, so don't let that deter you. It's a good idea to dive into Accounting classes, as well as any other subjects that pique your interest during your Freshmen year. Remember, colleges are quite accommodating. You only have to settle on your major by the end of your Sophomore year. This gives you two whole years to explore, learn, and discover what truly sparks your passion. So, go ahead and embrace this journey of exploration!

Rebecca’s Answer

Thank you for your question. I am glad to hear that you would like to be an accountant. In fact, it requires mostly on arithmetic in accounting. It may not require a lot of complex mathematics theory and calculation.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Find out the college reviews on accounting and the entry criteria.
2. Attend the information session hosts by accounting department. Speak to the professors and alumni if possible
3. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counsellor, your parents, etc.
4. Work hard on your academic to meet the college entry criteria
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!
