I'm not going to go into the HR in depth, I don't honestly know that much about it.. but accountancy sitting in a cubicle and counting numbers couldn't be further from the truth I can assure you. True, a lot of your work will be figure based, but its a hell of a lot more than just adding up and, where i work at least, there's about 35 people on my floor, between the ages 18-25 who I get on with very well. Its all open plan so we talk all day as well as working. Its a very good atmosphere and i'm enjoying it a lot at the minute!
Plus you get to go out to client's premises, advise them on how to plan or what strategy to use for the next year... so you're kind of a business advisor as well as accountant....and you get a lot of overtime money
