Accounting Versus The Machine; How to get out of the rut?!

Did you see ‘The Internship’ and related to the last part way too much for your own comfort?! Well, then don’t be a dinosaur and get into the game!
Accounting is evolving at an astonishing pace! Gone are the days when knowing excel tricks made you the cool guy! This is all about understanding the changing oeuvre and understanding that as much as they all love you; your employers cannot possibly keep a full-time employee for bookkeeping when the whole process can be done through an online tool for free!

So how do you stay relevant?!

Well, first of all, do not say that you want to stay relevant in front of anyone. It’s not the right attitude! The right attitude is to get into the game and learn new skills! Just like Owen Wilson did in ‘the Internship’!
Here is H&T Accounting Services’ little advice for you…

Make a habit of learning new technology!

Whether it is the online free tools for tax saving plans or computerized Tax Returns systems, enjoy innovation and make strong developments in technology awareness on a regular basis.

Enjoy your field!

Yeah, you heard us right! Gone are the days when Accountants used to be boring and hard to engage, put down that pile of business tax appeals and get into that business start-up conference in Mississauga!

Become a part of something new!

Now that you are in that conference, go and become a part of a business start-up and show them your awesome tax saving plans in Mississauga that you learned in Oakville. Start-ups are a great way to stay young and enjoy the experience of being a professional. You also get a wide berth professionally and office politics won’t remind you of a shark tank!

Get certified often!

In this day and age, keeping up with the latest memberships, attestations, and certifications are all a big part of the game. Your capabilities are not myths anymore, they are constantly calibrated. Once you are done with ten years of service, get a PMP certificate. So that you will have a record of your success that is quantified.

Let the Bookkeepers go!

Bookkeeper, as a profession, is gone. Whether you are in Brampton or Mississauga; the profession of Accountant has outgrown bookkeeping. Get over it and grow! We here at, H&T Accounting Services, have learned these lessons!
