Question

What do you think is your strongest "skill" among the skill sets that are useful for success in accounting/business?

Answer 1

I believe that my skill for deductive reasoning and mathematical/empirical evidence, as well as data, backed decision making provides an edge in the area of accounting and business out of all the skills necessary for the field. The use of data-based decision making allows for better considerations since the decisions that I take are not just experience-based, it provides for further examining the data, and therefore the situational aspect is brought into account as well. Deductive reasoning and mathematical skills allow the ability to understand the data and the modeling simulations more accessible. It is not only advantageous in data science but accounting and managerial level decision-making function as well. The understanding of probability and statistics also aid everyday decision making and combined with the soft skills necessary for the position, it clarifies any doubts and makes it easier to find discrepancies in the data which could have led to issues down the pipeline.
