Accounting is the profession of the future, says the vice president of SERAC

When it comes to thinking about future professions, areas such as technology and marketing are commonly mentioned, but accounting can provide an ocean of opportunities for those who decide to dedicate themselves to the career. 

SecondJhonny Martins, vice president ofSERAC, corporate solutions hub, being a reference in the accounting areas, legal, educational and technology, accounting is the profession of the future. There are more than 20 million companies that are required to have an accountant, and we live in a scenario where entrepreneurship is increasingly encouraged in Brazil, increasing the number of companies, explain. 

For Jhonny, while most young people think about other professions that are saturating the market, accounting has been increasingly less sought after. "Whoever is in accounting, will have to deal with very low competition compared to the increasingly growing number of companies. My role today is also to encourage young people to enter this profession, because we are the guardians of the heritage of every entrepreneur, evaluate. 

The vice president of SERAC emphasizes, however, that it is not enough to become any accountant to achieve success, but rather an accountant who adds value to the client. "The accountant who only issues guides will be swallowed by online accounting", by artificial intelligence. Every entrepreneur needs an accountant, but he doesn't need a machine, of a robot, and yes of a consulting professional, that studied to offer him the best options so that he can make the best decision, affirms.
