Accountants are Problem Solvers

When someone thinks of an accountant, they imagine a guy in a button up shirt with a calculator. They imagine someone that sits around all day long crunching numbers and preparing taxes long-form. While it is true that most accountants are numbers guys (or gals), it is not true that an accountant loves to sit and crunch numbers. So what does your accountant in Billings, Montana say is the most satisfying part of the job?

Job Satisfaction

Being unhappy at your job is almost synonymous with working in America. After all, nearly everyone complains about their job. The hours are too long, the boss is too strict, the co-workers are stupid, the office is dirty… the list can go on and on (almost always topped off with “I’m overworked and underpaid”). Fortunately, many people do love their job. And that can be for a variety of reasons.

A recent survey talked with accountants and finance professionals to find out what part of their job brought them the most satisfaction. The number one most enjoyable part of an accountant’s job? Solving problems. With 41% of those surveyed saying they love solving problems, it is clear to see that your accountant in Billings, Montana is not just a number cruncher. Although with 22% saying that their work with numbers is the most satisfying part of the job, it’s still a big part of the job.

How is an Accountant a Problem Solver?

One of the reasons that problem solving came up so high on the list was simply because it is a huge category. It can encompass quite a few different issues. Some that your accountant in Billings, Montana likes to work on are:

Tax Preparation – Let’s face it, a huge chunk of the work an accountant does is prepare your taxes. This is the number crunching portion.

Online Payroll – If you run a business and you have employees, then you need payroll services. Solving this problem, and making your business run more efficiently, is one of the best aspects of the job.

Business Consulting – This is a pretty broad category. It starts with setting up the business, determining structure, filing paperwork, finalizing roles, etc. But it goes long beyond the beginning, and business consulting can last throughout the life of your business.
