Q. Im in yr 10 and i want to become a accountant , which lesson you have to be good at to become a accountant? and what grades you have to get? thank you (best answer 10 points)

A. Since you've already made your year 10 and 11 "extra subject" choices, I would have suggested business studies as one of those. However, I would suggest you work hard at your maths GCSE to be good with numbers. Apart from I couldn't really suggest anything else. Accountants generally are professional, so you may think about working at your ICT and English Literature GCSE aswell. Once your at college I would try at an accountant A level and maths A level. Then you've got another 2 choices of A levels to be able to have something to expand your future prospects.

Q. What do I have to do to get into university to be an accountant ? what requirement do I need? how about the average ? and which university can I go for it ? can someone help me plz. thanx

A. If you want to be a CPA then check your state's requirements. If you want to be just an accountant or work in accounts receivable or accounts payable, then a degree in accounting, finance, or business should do the trick. You should be able to attend school online or in a regular classroom setting for accounting. You may also want to learn accounting software. Some programs you may want to learn are Quickbooks, Quicken, Peachtree, and Excel.

Q. I want to become an accountant for sure. I'm researching, and I see that there are several different types of accountants. Tax, audit and enterprise risk, financial advisory, internal, and consulting. Out of these, which one is the most lucrative, interesting, and most fulfilling overall. Why?

A. Forensic Accounting is the most 'interesting type of accounting' possibly the most.. unexpected and out of the ordinary. however some people may like tax/audit/financial etc.. but i think for the most part those types of accounting are pretty... 'boring'. to become an accountant you need a CPA (in America or a CA in Canada) which requires you to have an undergraduate degree with certian courses. My suggestion is to start taking the undergraduate introduction to accounting courses to get a taste of the types of accounting before you choose what to specialize in.

Q. I need to get info to my accountant about my stock sales this past year for personal income tax purposes. I keep a spreadsheet of the stock, date purchased & # of shares, date sold & # of shares, price of stock at time of purchase, and price of stock at time of sale. I've also calculated cost basis. But my accountant doesn't need all these numbers do they? What information should I give them?

A. Your preparer will charge dearly if he has to do the keypunching. Look at the IRS form 1040 schedule D-1 and build and excel spreadsheet with the same data. Take that on disk and paper to the preparer.
