"Isn't accounting just... maths?" 🤔
It's a question (or something very similar!) we've heard quite a few times over the last couple of weeks.
Between welcoming work experience students into our offices and attending local careers events, we've had some fantastic conversations with young people about careers and what working in accountancy is really like.
The first things that often came to mind were:
📊 Maths
💷 Money
📑 Tax
😴 Boring
But the conversations quickly moved beyond that.
We talked about career opportunities, AI, progression, holidays, salaries and what a typical day actually looks like.
The best part?
Seeing so many young people asking thoughtful questions and being genuinely curious about the different career paths available to them.
Whether they choose accountancy or something completely different, we hope they've come away with a better understanding of the opportunities open to them.
A big thank you to everyone who stopped to chat with us, and to the students who spent time with our teams over the last few weeks. 💚
