Accountant Jobs in New York

An Accountant is a vital figure in the accounting industry, responsible for preparing, analyzing, and verifying financial documents to provide accurate data for individuals and businesses. Key duties include preparing tax returns, auditing accounts, and producing financial reports, along with consulting on various aspects of business performance, such as costs, revenues, and investments. Accountants also ensure compliance with financial laws and regulations and assist in decision-making processes by providing financial information and recommendations.

Skills required for this role include strong numerical and analytical abilities, attention to detail, excellent communication, and a high level of integrity. A key requirement for becoming an Accountant is a Bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field, but many employers prefer candidates with a Master's degree and/or professional certifications such as Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA). Before becoming an Accountant, a person may serve in roles such as Accounting Assistant, Bookkeeper, or Audit Clerk, which provide valuable hands-on experience in the field.
