    There are a lot of different jobs you can get in accounting, but I would say the following are traits that you will find in accountants:

    -Enjoy working with numbers, good math skills.
    -Detail oriented.
    -Analytical.
    -Good computer skills. Spreadsheets are common in practice.
    -Good communication skills, both written and verbal.
    -Good problem solving skills.
    -Business awareness. You will need to keep up your knowledge in a number of areas, including current issues and regulations.
