The road to success combines both luck and hard work, but also includes planning. Here are some tips for mapping out the shortest distance between you and the accounting career you want for yourself.

The end goal: your final destination

In planning your accounting career, you need to determine your ultimate career goal. Do you want to own your own accounting business? Would you rather freelance eventually? Maybe you are looking for a stable career in a company that provides both professional growth and development opportunities?

Whatever it may be, you need to have a clear idea of your end goal before making a plan on how to get there.

If you don’t know where you’re going, how can you make a roadmap for yourself?

Stops along the way

In order to build a helpful roadmap, you have to decide what success looks like for you at different yearly intervals. Your goals, in short, have to be realistic, attainable, and time-sensitive. However, you must keep in mind that there’s no point in setting up personal and career objectives if you’re not going to hold yourself personally accountable for reaching or missing them. Find a way to measure yourself throughout your plan to see if you are keeping track of your progress and goal achievements.

Strategy

To have a successful accounting career, you’ll need to adopt a strategic approach to networking and personal brand building. LinkedIn is a huge part of our industry; make sure your profile is complete and that it stands out. Keep in mind that there may be some detours on your roadmap to success. You might have to deviate from the plan, but in the end, you will find your way back.

Fine-tuning

We recommend you review your career plan twice a year to see how well you are keeping on track. Make sure that you schedule time for this review in your calendar to take it seriously. 

The most significant part of your plan is thinking about your destination. In no time, you’ll find yourself in the accounting career of your choice.
