TAKING ACCOUNTING IN JOHOR BAHRU

The Hard Truth About Accounting

Accounting field is not an easy and straightforward path. First, it was the hardcore assignment. Then, the on-field practical training which takes months to complete (based on the university requirements). Followed by sitting the professional examinations according to international standards, and obviously, it does not come cheap. Plus, the completion of 3 years working experience before becoming a member of MIA (Malaysia Institute of Accountant). 

The first few years of working experience were rated as horrible by many graduates. The long hours in the office, the amount of stress relating to the work and the looming deadlines makes them burnout easily. 

Many were defeated even before becoming chartered accountants. Not only that, but many also even failed the professional examination, hence did not even qualify to be a member of MIA. 

It was also reported that being an accountant is one of the careers that do not promote work-life balance and based on statistics, it is one of the careers that could drive towards suicidal. Scary!

So why does anyone want to be an accountant? 

Reasons to be an Accountant

Basically, there is always a reason for any action that we take. And that includes deciding the course to pursue further education in accounting. 

The most famous reason is PASSION. Some people are just so passionate about doing accounting that they want to do it for a living, hence, becoming an accountant. But wait, how did anyone develop the passion towards accounting? 

Well, for starters, all the accountant-to-be loves mathematics and anything that involves calculation. That is the basics for accounting, which is counting. 

The passion can also be developed when we understand the underlying principle of accounting. Accounting means providing financial information through financial statements, cashflow, tax papers and management accounting for the usage of its management, investors and public. 

With passion, an accountant feels more motivated, and appreciated even when the job is tough. It gives a certain feeling of self-accomplishment and fulfillment. The harder you work for something, the greater the fulfillment when you finally achieve it. 

This goes hand in hand with a quote taken from Oprah Winfrey, “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you”.

Another reason for someone to pursue accounting is the SALARY. Although it sounds greedy, it is a great motivation to improve one’s life. 

Every company in this world needs an accountant. The finance team normally consists of the CFO, Financial Controller, Finance Manager, accountants, and clerks. All these positions need an accounting background. If a graduate has a degree and starts to work as an accountant, his salary will start at RM3,000 but if he has professional certificates, his starting salary will be higher! And the salary goes higher with higher positions. 

Of course, with great positions comes great responsibilities. If one is solely working towards the benefit of money, they will eventually lose the etiquettes and respect towards accounting. They will feel that the job is more of a burden than luxury.

“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life” by Confucius.
