The Synthesis
The accountant field has different type of roles
that people don't recognize. Most people don’t recognize the different
type of accountants, because they only think of public accountants
or personal accountants. They have different job description but somewhat
similar. Public Accountant work for business organization, and a personal
accountant helps you with budgeting and tax preparation. People tend to only
recognize these type of accountant because of their popularity, always
podcasted on television, radios, and on media. In the accounting field I
learned that there's a lot of different roles, possibilities, and positions; I learned these thing from other blogs and from doing research for mine.
Other types of accountants and Auditors, and Forensic Accountants each of them play a
different role and have a different job title. The auditor has
a responsibility to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements, whether caused by error or fraud. Auditor accountants are important for companies, because they help them fix mistakes and fraud. According to Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (AACF) "Forensic Accountants
are employed by public accounting firms’ forensic accounting divisions; by
consulting firms specializing in risk consulting and forensic accounting
services; or by lawyers, law enforcement agencies, insurance companies,
government organizations or financial institutions. Due to heightened awareness
and growing intolerance of fraudulent activity, demand for Forensic Accountants
is rapidly increasing"
With having each different type of accountant, there's a different position like staff accountant, tax accountant,
senior accountant, and etc. They have different types of
responsibilities and there's always a chance for promotion. The more years you
work the more experience you have, so there's a better chance of getting a
promotion.
Information from my blog will explain the different promotions and responsibilities A tax senior has experience on the job for 3-6 years. According to Vault Career Guide “They
offered suggesting for tax planning, manage tax planning, manage tax staff and
study the internal revenue code and others applicable tax laws for potential
clients tax savings.”(Pg.66 vaults accounting)This job position is similar to a
tax staff but they just have more experience. They have more responsibilities
and help guide tax staff though their job. A tax manager hold the position
for 6+ years. “Tax managers direct and review tax senior and tax staff
personnel; approve corporate tax return prepared by tax staff, perform tax
planning and research unusual tax matters; handle day-to-day client
relationship issues plan engagements billing and other administration
duties.”(Pg.67 accounting) Tax mangers are basically the boss and analyze the
Tax staff and senior work. Their job is to hold things together and make sure
that the work and tax return is done correctly.
I learned though blogging the nature of the work environment in the accounting field, and the language of communication. Blogging helped with different type of writing to a different audiences; it also showed how people use different forms of communication in my field. Doing this blog project will benefit me in my future, it gave me an idea of what to expected in my career after graduating.Doing this blog project I struggled with consistency, posting on time, and formatting my posts. I believe I struggled, because I had a lot of health problems this semester and it distracted me from doing school work this semester; but I enjoy doing this project.
