Accounting and training expert and CEO of Platinum Professional Training, Coco Hou, today said everyone should spend more time with an accountant.   Being around positive people is good for your overall health and wellbeing.   According to Ms Hou, accountants are happy people and experience high levels of job satisfaction.  Forbes has listed accounting jobs as one of the happiest jobs in America.  The US News and World Report named accounting as one of the greatest jobs in America.

“Accounting is a fantastic job.  As a CPA accountant, I understand why accountants experience high levels of job satisfaction and happiness.  We work with organisations, people and businesses to help them to address and resolve complex financial situations,” Ms Hou said today.

“We also enjoy good levels of job security and this is important for overall job satisfaction.

“Tax returns must be completed every year.  Business Activity Statements must be lodged regularly.   We undertake this work with a high degree of specialised knowledge and we operate within an environment of complex and constantly changing tax laws.

“For this reason, our industry is less affected by economic downturns.  In fact, our job becomes even more important when tough times set in.

“A lot of people think that accountants are boring and just number crunchers.  This could not be further from the truth.   Accountants are generally very happy people.  We have the most secure and stable jobs of any industry.   Why wouldn’t we be happy with these kinds of industry benefits.”

In 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted that accountant jobs were expected to grow 15.7 percent from 2010 to 2020.   They also confirmed that the sector enjoyed above average wages compared to other sectors.

“As an accountant I get a great deal of job satisfaction from helping people and businesses to navigate through difficult and challenging financial situations,” Ms Hou added.

“Most accountants do more than just simply prepare tax returns.   We help people and businesses with complex financial situations.    Often we assist with key decision making in relation to business operations and expansion and investment activities.

“We help people to achieve the best returns possible by finding as many deductions as we can, putting money back into their pockets.    What could be more satisfying than this!

“While accounting can be stressful at times, overall it is an extremely rewarding profession to be part of and it is easy to see why accountants are so happy and experience such high job satisfaction ratings.

“I encourage everyone to get involved in accounting.    It is a great profession!”
