There's a lot to reach out to—like the rest of the world, for instance.
You've heard how accounting can influence a huge corporation—but it can also make important differences in peoples' lives. In fact, being able to work with people is one of a CPA's most important skills—they're constantly called on to advise people about estate planning, pass along a family business or help parents save for their kids' college education. It also takes excellent communication skills to form good working relationships with every client, whether they're rock stars or fuel manufacturers. Not to mention the public speaking abilities they need to appear as an expert witness during a fraud case.
