Why are there age limits for accounting positions?

If you are just applying for a general accountant job, a young person who has just graduated a few years ago can be qualified for such a job and have more time and energy to devote to the work. There is no need to recruit a general accountant over 35 years old who can only do daily vouchers and issue monthly statements, and worry about delaying work due to family reasons.
