Hello CC,
I was just wondering what some of the soft skills are that are frequently used in accounting? I know that things like interpersonal communication and writing are some of them, but what would be some others? I am looking to apply for an accounting internship soon, and I would like to know which areas I can strengthen.
I just fired my accountant because he wasn’t reliable. He wasn’t good at tracking deadlines, among other things. He didn’t respond to questions or requests sometimes, either. He was also kind of cavalier when I had concerns (and it annoyed the heck out of me when those concerns turned out to be real problems). So treating your client’s concerns seriously, and doing a thorough job of researching and responding when questions are raised is also helpful.
