Accounting

Financial accounting provides overall financial information for a company to outside stakeholders. This is particularly important following the 2002 passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in response to the financial scandals that shook the nation at that time. read more [+]

Financial accountants prepare and produce a company's financial statements, which determine the company's financial worth. This may be in the form of an annual report for shareholders, banks, and other key stakeholders, or in other forms as may be required by various regulatory bodies. These statements are audited by outside accountants and auditors.

In addition, financial accountants prepare financial information that a business then uses to plan, evaluate performance, and make key business decisions. This may include profit and loss statements, balance sheets, cash flow reports, and shareholders' equity reports. To produce the necessary information, financial accountants rely on data produced by a company's regular accountants.

In order to work in financial accounting, you will need excellent analytical skills, a keen attention to detail, a love of numbers, and good computer skills.
