By Christian Tylor

Everyone looks for a career that will be exciting and fulfilling. One that will help them move up and open doors for new opportunities. There are many fields that you can become involved in, but two that can be both exciting and rewarding would be a career in Accounting or becoming a Consultant.

Have you ever considered a business career in accounting? If so you are looking at a very exciting field. The way a company keeps up with their income and expenses is through their accounting process. This is one of the most important aspects of a company as it keeps the operations of the business in proper order.

To be an accountant you need good communication and people skills. Computer skills are also very important and you need a basic knowledge in sales. You would be responsible for financial statements and business transactions. Being an accountant means being a very important part of the business and is a stimulating and challenging career. You will learn most every aspect of the way a business is run.

Being an accountant involves a great amount of insight in all areas of the company’s functions. That is why it is not uncommon for many accountants to eventually advance to starting up their own companies.

When it comes to business careers another great one would be becoming a consultant. This is a very challenging career that will require a lot of dedication and patients. You are needed to help companies solve their business problems. You will be there to evaluate situations and help to come up with new ideas that will benefit the company the most. Then it will be your job to help the company adopt these new ideas.

You need great people skills for this career as you need to be the one that provides a positive environment with your company and its customers. Great communication skills are crucial for a consultant. You need to be a fast thinker and very creative to advance in this field. Keep in mind that being able to listen as well as you can talk is also very important for a consultant.
