Career Video on Accountancy

In a video, Satpal Singh Gandhi has talked about various aspects of a Career in Accountancy. Satpal Singh Gandhi started by explaining Accountancy as: "Accountancy or accounting is the job of sharing financial information about a business to managers and shareholders. Accountants are people who do accounting, and also carry out the auditing or checking of a company's books and records." I watched the full video and I absolutely loved it.


I found the video unique because it talked about Education in terms of things which can be learnt from books, to excel at a Career in Accountancy and not as a list of Qualifications, which one needs to get into Accountancy. Satpal Singh Gandhi touches upon these in the Education section of the Video:
  • Basic Mathematics
  • Statistics
  • Computers Fundamentals
  • Accounting Software
  • Accounting

Satpal Singh Gandhi then explains why these Skills are essential for a Career in Accountancy:
  • Laws & Acts
  • Patience
  • Consistent Hard Work
  • Time Management

Satpal Singh Gandhi believes that the following are some of the Positives of a Career in Accountancy:
  • Consistent Requirement
  • Growth

And, Satpal Singh Gandhi believes that one needs to prepare for following Challenges of a Career in Accountancy:
  • Continuous Updation
  • Time Consuming
  • Monotonous Job
  • Deadlines

In the final section of the video Satpal Singh Gandhi talks about How a day goes in a Career in Accountancy. This video is by far the best video on a Career in Accountancy, that I have ever come across.
