I need to find a new job .
You should try to find an accounting job .
What would I do in accounting ?
An accountant is responsible for analyzing and communicating financial information .
I am very good with numbers and money matters .
Accounting would be a great new career for you .
What kinds of accounting jobs are available ?
You could work for a company , for an individual , or even for the government .
Are there specific accountant positions ?
The four main positions are public accounting , management accounting, government accounting , and internal auditing .
What does a public account do ?
Public accountants perform a wide range of duties including auditing , consulting activities , and taxes .
I have no interest in doing taxes .
A public accountant can also offer advice in certain areas or specialize in forensic accounting .
What is forensic accounting ?
It is the investigation and interpretation of criminal financial transactions .
So I would be looking into money laundering, embezzlement and fraud .
Exactly , as well as working closely with law enforcement and serving as a witness if a case goes to trial .
I don’t want to be involved in all of that .
Well , then you can look into being a management accountant .
What is their specialty ?
Management accountants record and analyze the financial information of the companies they work for .
So they are primarily responsible for budgeting and cost management .
Yes , and there are also government accountants .
I assume they are responsible for the records of government agencies .
Correct . And internal auditors are used by a company to check for mismanagement , waste , or fraud .
Well , the management accountant sounds the most interesting to me .
Then you should definitely look into it some more .
