I’m currently job hunting, and I’ve been eyeing some finance-related roles but I don’t have an accounting or finance degree. Do employers care a lot about that? Can I still apply, or will I be ignored? Also, if I do apply, how much salary is okay to ask for? I don’t want to over-ask since I’ve got no direct experience or finance certs, but I also don’t want to lowball myself. Anyone else started in finance without a finance degree?

guess what I’ve learned that really made a difference in my career is the ability to translate numbers into stories. It’s one thing to prepare accurate reports, but it’s another skill entirely to help non-finance stakeholders understand what those numbers mean and how they affect the business. If you’re new in finance, don’t just focus on Excel—focus on communication too. That’s what sets you apart and opens more doors. 😉

Been working as an accountant for 3+ years and lately I feel like I’ve hit a plateau. I know my work inside out, but I don’t get invited into higher-level discussions. Just do the reports, close the books, and repeat. I want to step up into more strategic roles but idk how. Should I start learning FP&A? Business partnering? Or maybe explore data tools like Power BI? Feels like I’m stuck in execution mode. Anyone been through this and successfully levelled up?

I’ve been working as an accountant for about 5 years now, mostly handling routine tasks and monthly reports. I’ve been wondering if my experience is enough to get into one of the Big 4 firms here in Singapore. From what I hear, they’re quite competitive and want candidates with strong technical skills and maybe even some specialized knowledge. For those who’ve made it, how challenging was it? What should I focus on to boost my chances? TQ!

I joined this company [X] straight after graduating and have stayed loyal ever since—never jumped, never job-hopped. But now I’m finally trying to switch, and it’s been discouraging. Sent out tons of applications, but barely any replies. Is it because the market is not good right now? Or is my resume not attractive enough because I’ve never made a move before? First time going through this, so I’m not sure what’s normal. Help pls!

Hello, I’m new to accounting and honestly, I’m terrible at Excel. 😅 I’m planning to take some classes but wanna focus on the skills that are really needed in accounting and finance. So, can anyone share which Excel skills are the most valuable for these industries? I’ve heard stuff like VLOOKUP and pivot tables, but I’m not sure where to start. Appreciate any tips or advice. help a newbie out! 🙏

Hello! I heard from a friend that you don’t always need an accounting degree to become an accountant, but I’m not sure if I should trust them since they’re not an accountant themselves. I have a degree in Economics and Business, and I’m thinking of applying for accountant position. Can anyone verify if this is possible? Do I really need an accounting degree, or can I still get into the field with my current qualifications? Would love some insights!
