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!

Not an accountant myself but I work closely with our finance team. Quite a few of them came from business or economics backgrounds. As long as you understand the basics and maybe pick up some accounting software. Alsooo, make sure you can pick up the job la, you wouldnt want to suffer haha
