Accountants and bookkeepers must quickly analyze and interpret data and have strong critical-thinking and reasoning skills. Professionals in this field should have at least a basic understanding of business and information systems and be familiar with standard accounting software programs. Strong communication skills are important, since accountants need to present numerical data both verbally and in written form to executives and clients.

These career opportunities may be in areas such as accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, business administration, sales, marketing and human resources.
