01: Factors Affecting Career Development
A: Factors Affecting Career Development in Finance Professionals
I discuss the factors that affect the development of a career in finance and accounting, because they are in accordance with my background and work.
So it’s not just ‘people saying’ or reading people’s stories. ?
***
Are you a financial accounting person doing your job optimally?
Have you known and understood in detail from the beginning to the beginning of the business process in the company where you work?
Are you the financial-accounting person just giving approval?
Approval when other department employees will be responsible for the use of finances?
Or when employees from other departments want to give a bill ( cash receipt )?
Are you a financial-accounting person just understanding transaction numbers?
Or can you just journal debit and credit? Or just making a balance in journaling ?
Just answer the questions in the heart of your heart, so that only you and God know.
Your answer will give an idea of how the real condition is until various slanted comments appear like that.
B: Tips for a Successful Career in the Finance & Accounting Profession
How important a company financial report is has been widely discussed on the Financial Management website.
The function of financial reports prepared by financial accounting people is like a dashboard panel on a vehicle.
With it, motorists can get important information about their vehicle.
So that you can fully control the vehicle.
Likewise with financial reports.
It is like an indicator on a vehicle dashboard that contains important information about the company.
All important information will be used by:
- owner,
- investors,
- manager, and
- government (for tax matters) as a source of data for analysis, financial control, and performance.
Please note that every decision will always have an impact on finances.
Not only strategic decisions.
But even petty decisions that ‘seem’ trivial will affect the company’s finances.
***
Still not sure?
I give one more example.
When an employee washes their hands at the sink. This activity has affected the company’s finances, right?
Why?
Washing your hands in a sink means:
- loss of time 5-10 minutes,
- losing water and soap or tissue used, try to calculate how much it costs?
If only 1,2,3 or 4 people carry out these activities, the effect may not be felt.
Even if it is calculated for 1 month it will actually be a lot, right ?
But if those who do these activities are 100, 500,1000, or 10,000 people.
What costs or expenses will be incurred for one month, one year?
Still not sure???
So, believe the finance & accounting person and the financial accounting department is very important!
Now come back to yourself
Want to be important or not? ?

William Shakespeare in Timon of Athens wrote
“Be rich in friends .”
Successful people maintain their network contacts.
Getting to know people from various backgrounds is very important.
No matter how talented, smart, and experienced you are, one day you will need someone else.
In the beginning, developing a network will take some sense. Then, keeping it alive during your busy times will take some effort.
But the first thing you need to do is place yourself in well-networked places.
For example: your company’s sports group, your company’s religious and charity group, so you don’t just hang out with people in your department.
Once you have extensive networks and associations, don’t misuse the trust you have earned, because there are usually unwritten rules that must be followed in order for the relationship to be maintained properly.

Then the sales process, production planning, production process, shiping, payment processing, and back to the research & development process .
An integrated system can only be created by a person who can create a complete picture of a company.
