I always credited my mother with inspiring me to be a writer because she was such a passionate reader. She read poetry to me as a child. But rather late in life, I've come to appreciate my father, the accountant. He was a solid, organized, get-the-job-done kind of person-and you need that piece of it to be a writer, too.

American Author

Megan Rapinoe

I feel like it's actually everybody's responsibility to use whatever platform they have to do good in the world, basically, and to try to make our society better, whether you're an accountant or an activist or an athlete or whatever it is. I think it's everybody's responsibility.

American Athlete

Shia LaBeouf

My neighborhood was rough, but I live a great life now. I don't fight that much now. I don't look for it anyway, but if someone hits your mother, whether you're a star, an accountant, or an astronaut or anything... I mean it's your mother, so I lost my mind.

American Actor

Matthew Broderick

I probably wouldn't make a good accountant. I don't even understand what my accountant tells me. But the character is a sort of exaggerated version of me, he's a little more frightened than I am, everything seems so much bigger to him than it does to me.

Akshay Kumar

Journalists ask me all the time, 'Akshay, do you believe in the numbers game?' My standard response: 'I can't count, that's why I have producers and accountants who calculate for me. As long as I have them in my life, I don't need to worry about numbers!

Indian Actor

I believe the biggest challenge is just getting the courage to try something different or new. Try to forget the stereotype in your mind. Yoga is for everyone - children, athletes, moms, dads, accountants, truck drivers, even country stars.

In a relationship where finances are shared, it's important that both people know what's going on. If one spouse likes being the family accountant, it's fine for that person to take the lead, but the other spouse shouldn't be in the dark.

American Journalist

Jason Williams

I think that the opportunity to be a kid another year and not have to not worry about the responsibilities of paying bills, and worry about getting an agent and worry about getting an accountant was important.

Susana Martinez

The big corporations have a team of lawyers and accountants to help them. It's the small businesses, the mom and pop shops, that get lost in the layers of red tape.

American Politician

I grew up with music very much in my life. I achieved success by combining my training as an accountant with my family upbringing and love of music.

American Public Servant

An accountant often works with detailed spreadsheets and financial reports in their daily tasks.

Job Role

While accountants can handle tax matters, their role is broader including managing financial records and providing financial advice.

Not Just Taxes

An accountant is trusted with sensitive information, so confidentiality is a key part of their professional ethics.

Confidential Role

Some accountants specialize in audits, which means they review financial statements to ensure accuracy and compliance.

Audit Specialization

An internal auditor works within a company, while external auditors are independent of the company being audited.

Internal vs. External

Accountants ensure that financial practices follow the law and that taxes are paid properly and on time.

Compliance Focus

 We just don't worry about it, in a way. The facts are important. You have to know a lot of stuff to be a scientist. That's true. But knowing a lot of stuff doesn't make you a scientist. You need to know a lot of stuff to be a lawyer or an accountant or an electrician or a carpenter.
