    i have a bachelor in Accounting and Finance and i am recently a intermediate Python developer and when i meet people who have degree in Computer science, they would be like OMG how can you learn to code when you don't have any degree in computer science. Me: "Well news flash you don't need a degree to become a software developer, you need to be a problem solver" and i know how many excel task that people do can be automate with python so easily and also through web scrapping we dont need to copy paste data in excel and then clean all the shit for hours to get what we want. My colleagues spends hours into work and I can do their job in just few minutes. Coding is hard though specially debugging is so frustrating but as an accountant we often get into situation where we cant find a transaction that's missing or other complicated troubleshooting, so its not that kind of a new situation for us. Coding is basically can be defined as "I would rather think hard for 4 hours instead manually laboring my way out of my problem for days."

    Exactly, nice reply man. I am on the same road. I graduate the most prestigious university in my country Romania for accounting. What is interesting we do learn also a lot of databases at the university, in fact, Faculty is called Accounting and Information systems. As of now, because of corona Crysis, i lost my job and looking forward to a reconversion. As I was in top 10 people from my year on IT ( SQL+ MSAcccess, Excel&VBA, Prolog, VisualBasic etc) i was thinking that returning on my old passion can help me earn the money to support my family. Python is the first is coming to my mind as I saw it has some accounting application and also data analytics. Do you have some recommendation? How long it took for you to make your transformation? PS: I love accounting and tools that help doing it faster and allow a higher understanding of it.

    Hi Amanda. Thank you for this and for your channel. Your videos really helped me a lot a few years ago when I was studying my post grad. I am now qualified (CA(SA)) and I can't agree with you more. Since I finished my articles, I've moved into a Sales Analyst type of role rather than a more traditional Financial Manager/Controller Role and data analytics (mostly on Excel but also through a tool called Qlikview) have become part of my daily work. It's a really exciting time to be a CA. The roles we occupy are changing and our opportunities to add value are real and substantial. If I may add one thing, perhaps stating the obvious but, what I have found with analytics is that you only see the true strength of a tool when you need to solve complex problems with it. Learning about analytics is like filling a toolbox - the more tools you have the easier it is to solve more complex problems. Thank you again. Best regards, David Cape Town

I want to upskill but its confusing as to which specific language or course or what should be the direction of venturing into these computer sciences . I have been into internal audit in my 3 year articleship . I also have confusion as to how to choose a career line between audit and finance and pure accounts . I seem to be interested in all 3 of them . Thanks for this vid though .

    Thank you for sharing. I have already started learning Data Analytics on my own but for a different reason. I am age 35 International (Black American) student at a UK University, my degree programme is BSc Accounting and Finance. I actually wanted originally to have my next career as a Forensics Accountant with a focus in Audit but I got discouraged because I have been struggling with my University studies. So I started learning coding mostly on my own while I study and practice understanding more of my University studies. As a coding beginner, I want my next career to be Data Engineer. But recently I have been learning that Accounting involves a lot of Data Analytics through webinars and now watching your video. So I see that what I started to invest in myself with is greatly going to help me in my next career(s). I will look again possibly to become a Forensics Accountant in my future after I graduate from University next year.

I’d recommend seeing if you can get an internship or summer vacation experience in audit if you can’t find something in forensics - it is an adjacent discipline ☺️ Keep at your studies and be sure to reach out to your teachers for assistance when you need it - we love to help students ❤️

However, if you’re new to the field - a great idea is to try and do Community College courses in Accounting and Data Analytics - with the potential to transfer to a 4 year college afterwards. You might be lucky to get an entry level job with a community college courses - but I don’t think with just the LinkedIn Learning courses in the current environment.

I thought about starting a Master's program for non-accounting majors this year, but as good as that sounds, I'm cautious about it because of the loans I'd have to take out, especially since I haven't gotten into any accounting classes before.

    Hi Sumeet - absolutely! We’ve always used basic data analytics like Ratio Analysis in helping us identify risks - but we could certainly do more. In response to risks - this might mean that DA allows us to test an entire population easily to identify misstatements, or search the population for exceptions more easily - then we can manually investigate.
