One of the primary milestones in any accountant's career is to become a Certified Public Accountant or CPA. To become a CPA you have to go to college with a biggest in accounting. There's also employment experience required in a CPA firm. Many CPAs consider this just one stepping stone to their careers. The chief accountant in a lot of offices is called the controller. The controller is also in charge of financial planning and budgeting. Some firms have only one accounting professional who's essentially the chief cook and bottle washer and does everything. As a business grows in size and complexity, then additional layers of personnel are required to handle the volume of work that comes from growth. Other areas in the firm are also impacted by growth, and it's part of the controller's job to determine just how a lot of more earnings the corporation can pay for additional people without negatively impacting growth and profits. The controller also is responsible for preparing tax returns for the business; a much more involved and complex task than completing personal income tax forms! In larger organizations, the controller can report to a vice president of finance who reports to the chief financial officer, who is responsible for the broad objectives for growth and profit and implementing the appropriate strategies to achieve the objectives.
