Hi, just to clarify, the question requires me to describe the details of an accountant and on this basis I have put forward my answer. If I have wrongly understood the question, do leave a comment so I can provide you with the answer on a different basis.

Nature of Work - The nature of work performed by an accountant has shifted from one which was monotonous to one which is now dynamic in nature. The accountant is expected to have general knowledge in various fields such as Financial Information of Companies, Laws and rules related to various statues in force, etc. To perform any function of accounting such as advisory, consultancy, etc. lot of knowledge is required by an accountant.

Working Conditions - I don't really know what is required in this point. Though an accountant is quite flexible when it comes to place of work as an accountant can work from home, office, vacation, clients office, etc.

Necessary Qualification - These vary from country to country, for example the US has CPA, UK has ACCA, India has CA, etc.

Future Outlook - The future outlook according to me is very bright in this occupation as the demand for accountants shall only keep on increasing day by day. With governments and other stake holders demanding more transparency and clarity, the entire responsibility lies on shoulders of accountants to provide and cater to their requirements.

Salary Range - These again vary from country to country, CPA's earn 100,000$ a year on an average, ACCA's earn 52,500 pounds a year and so on.
