Overview

Text

Accounting is a relatively special industry and one of the most important positions in every organization. It bears the important responsibility of the lifeblood of the organization. . Every accountant plans his or her own career path in this industry. The so-called career planning refers to: a person’s expectations and plans for the succession of positions he or she will assume in his or her life, including one’s study, one’s expectations for a person, and Productive contribution to a career or organization and eventual retirement.

My career goal is to become a certified public accountant.

CPA: It is a product of the commodity economy that has developed to a certain stage. The direct cause of its emergence is the separation of property ownership and management rights. Especially after the company gradually becomes an important economic organization in the commodity society, since the owners mainly understand the operating conditions of the company based on the financial statements submitted by the operators, there is a need for an independent, objective and impartial third party from outside the company. To make judgments about the fairness and legality of corporate financial statements, certified public accountants emerge as the times require.

At present, the CPA profession is highly valued in economically developed countries, and CPAs have become an important means for economically developed countries to maintain the order of the market economy. This is an inevitable trend caused by the increasing degree of economic commercialization.

My reasons for establishing this industry are as follows:

1. The social situation is superior. At the current stage in our country, almost every school among hundreds of colleges and universities across the country has a finance major, especially an accounting major. Every year, thousands of college graduates majoring in accounting flood into the job market. Although accounting is a popular profession, under this current situation, the supply of ordinary and junior financial personnel clearly exceeds the demand. It is a challenge and exercise for oneself.

But high-end financial talents are hard to find. As a financial accounting job with strong professional skills and relatively high personal quality requirements, it is the most important economic information system and control system of enterprises and institutions. More and more companies are beginning to have new expectations and requirements for their employees. At present, mid-to-senior accounting talents with several years of practical accounting experience and professional accounting titles such as CPA, ACCA, AIA, etc. have become a hot commodity in the market. These current conditions make the job market increasingly competitive.

2. The conditions are superior. I have relatives who are engaged in related work. During the holidays, I had some internship experience in order to hone my practical ability. I was able to learn useful knowledge from many senior personnel in related majors. In order to meet the current requirements of accountants, in addition to studying my major seriously, I also devoted myself to practicing English and computers.

So I will further elaborate on my uniqueness from the following aspects, hoping that my career can truly be in my own hands.

2. Vocational interests--Combined with the test, I found that my interests are interacting with people and being good at writing. I have been very fond of Chinese since I was a child and have a solid foundation in literature. I once worked as a young reporter and published several articles. In addition, I also like to write to enrich my class life, and sometimes contribute articles to radio stations. In my free time, I also like to jog, walk or read classics to regulate my body and mind, so that I can relax and learn new knowledge.

Accounting is a profession designed to provide enterprises with the professional and technical skills necessary for accounting information or financial (financial) information. It also requires the help of other literature. Science attainments to improve the ability to apply these skills. Accounting and the accountancy profession are primarily about reviewing and interpreting data records in order to make recommendations or make reports. Furthermore, accountants may be involved in designing accounting systems and making recommendations on expense reporting and other areas of financial budgeting. Therefore, we must be prepared to deal with all kinds of people, all kinds of data and all kinds of trivial matters. Accounting positions often breed talents in operational planning and management, which will be an excellent opportunity to move to higher management levels.

Due to the importance of the financial (financial) information provided by accountants, a high moral standard is perhaps the most important personal quality that accountants should possess.

This major will prepare our students for a wide range of careers in industry, finance, government, and other non-profit organizations.

1. Analysis of family environment

I was born in a rural area and have no family background. I have relatives who are engaged in accounting. At the same time, my parents also think that I am engaged in accounting. As Shaoxing continues to develop, many companies will need talents in this field.

2. School Environment Analysis

My school, Zhejiang Finance Vocational College, is the first in the country and the only national demonstration institution in Zhejiang Province with the main goal of cultivating high-level applications in the financial industry. Higher vocational college construction unit. The predecessor of the college was Zhejiang Bank School, a national key technical secondary school founded in 1952 and restored in 1975. Over the past thirty years, it has trained tens of thousands of professionals for the financial system and economic front, most of whom have become The backbone of the industry has formed a good social brand and accumulated rich intangible assets. The college is therefore known as the "Whampoa Military Academy" in the financial community of Zhejiang Province.

My major is accounting, which is a key construction major in the school. The department maintains long-term cooperative relationships with various well-known banks, large and small. The college also has a bank order class, which provides a lot of convenience for our future employment. The accounting major has always been one of the key majors of the college. The college also has long-term cooperative relationships with many banks and companies to solve students' employment problems. I believe we will have good employment opportunities based on this advantageous platform

According to experts It is predicted that the top ten most popular professions in the future are financial planners, system integration engineers, lawyers, logistics engineers, certified public accountants, marketers, environmental engineers, actuaries, pharmaceutical sales Chinese and Western physicians, and management consultants. Among them, two professions, financial planner and certified public accountant, are closely related to the accounting profession. There are two professions related to accounting, professional accounting firms, secondly, various enterprises, and thirdly, governments and non-profit organizations.

Accountants control the economic lifeline of a group, so every group needs them. There is no data on how many new companies are added every year, but there is no data to prove it. Everyone knows that there are tens of thousands of new companies added every year. As businesses emerge, there is a demand for accountants. Therefore, accounting is an industry that will never decline.

2) Analysis of its own development

The accounting department is definitely a core department in the company. Whether the company has gray income or wants to pay bonuses, it must go through the hands of accountants. . So it is conceivable that every bonus of the company will have a share of the accounting department. Accounting is actually a technology, which can also be said to be a craft. The most important thing is that accounting is a subject of cumulative experience. Although corporate accounting systems are also changing, that change is like changing the soup without changing the medicine. Therefore, never be afraid that your experience will become outdated. And since accounting has always been dominated by girls, in other words it is a girl’s subject. Therefore, in the process of employment, girls will not encounter serious gender discrimination like girls studying engineering.

3) Domestic economic development trends

Since joining the WTO, our country’s economy has maintained rapid and stable development, and its opening to the outside world has been expanding. Although this year’s snowstorms, earthquakes, and The subprime mortgage crisis will have an impact on the domestic economy, but the country has quickly taken corresponding measures and also provides certain relevant superior conditions for college students' employment choices. Although it will bring us a certain amount of pressure, it also urges us to strengthen our professional learning and cognitive abilities, constantly enrich and expand ourselves from competition, and constantly train ourselves with excellent skills.

In recent years, the economy of Shaoxing private enterprises has continued to develop. , especially in new development zones where companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, the demand for accounting has also increased.

2) Government Attention

The Shaoxing Financial Government attaches great importance to its own fiscal revenue. It has high requirements for the development of Shaoxing every year and can achieve the expected goals.

Summary of career analysis:

Based on the above analysis, I found that the major I chose is consistent with the development needs of the company and has a good development trend.

I only need to obtain relevant certificates, accumulate relevant work experience, and master professional skills in a down-to-earth manner, and I will be able to achieve my goals. In a highly competitive society, as long as you have the ability, you will find a satisfying job.
