The future of accounting
Accounting is a rapidly changing industry where the development of transferable skills – high-level analytical skills, critical thinking, communication and interpersonal skills – underpin other roles in the business services sector. Lifelong learning is key to a successful career in accounting. The number of accountants grew very strongly over the past five years and is expected to grow over the next five years – from 199,200 in 2018 to 207,200 by 2023. There are likely to be around 84,000 job openings for over five years. Source: joboutlook.gov.au
