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.
