Commonly Asked Questions
Can you enter the field of accounting without a degree in accounting?
Yes, you do not explicitly require a degree in accounting in order to become a Chartered Public Accountant or to enter the field of accounting. CPA Canada require an undergraduate degree with specific subject area coverage but offer preparatory courses for non-accounting graduates to get this coverage. Many aspiring CPAs complete an accounting diploma before entering the CPA program. We recommend referring to CPA Canada's website directly for information about their programs. One route of becoming a qualified accountant is to join a public accounting firm, usually as a staff accountant where you receive broad accounting training, learn about accounting standards and complete financial audits of businesses, as well as review and prepare financials and complete tax returns. Other routes to gain accounting experience include working in industry, whether that be working on the full accounting cycle, or specific to a certain area such as cost accounting, internal audit, FP&A or financial reporting function.
Can I pursue a career in management accounting without actual experience in management accounting?
Yes, after all, everyone starts off without managerial accounting experience and has to learn managerial accounting skills one way or another. When trying to break into a new field or function without having all the experience requirements, you can try leveraging on related skills and experiences. For example. if you are trying to become a finance business partner and have an aptitude for cost accounting, you might find more success with job applications for financial planning and analysis opportunities specific to the manufacturing industry. Perhaps you have a lot of day to day accounting experience and have worked mainly in the financial reporting function, well perhaps in this case you can still leverage the relevant experience you have as well as volunteer for management accounting and analysis related projects as well as enroll in courses to improve soft skills such as communication.
What do accountants do?
The expectations of accounting & finance teams differ based on specific industries and business functions. For example, a real estate company can have different requirements to a mining company in the natural resources sector. Similarly, a financial reporting function would have different requirements to a managerial accounting function. Accountants' basic responsibilities include keeping accurate financial records and producing sets of financial statements including income statements (profit and loss statements), balance sheets and cash flow statements. Day to day accounting tasks often include managing the full accounting cycle and basic accounting tasks from recording transactions to closing the books, job responsibilities can also often require accountants to stay up to date with accounting standards and accounting principles, as well as calculate tax liability requirements and file annual corporate tax returns. They are also involved in helping business owners make key business decisions with forward looking financial analysis and insights, including sales forecasts and budgets, it is also common for accountants to have additional management responsibility to develop and keep accurate records of key business processes and business policies, making changes and improvements as the business demands.
What is the typical salary for accountants in a small-to-medium size private business?
Accounting salaries can vary depending on the amount and scope of work, size and scope of business, accountabilities in the role, industry, required management skills and technical experiences. For example, the expected salary range of a veteran financial controller in a publicly listed tech company would often differ from the expectations of a newly minted accountant from an accounting firm. Our accounting staffing specialists are well in touch with accounting salaries, we help business owners by relating to what the salary for accountants is at other companies with similar metrics and requirements. So, if you want to rely on data and evidence to pay your employees fairly, we're here to help you navigate that and come to the right solution.
