Is accounting hard?

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask — is accounting hard for someone new to finance? I’ve heard it involves a lot of numbers and detailed rules, but I’m curious if it gets easier with practice. How challenging do you find accounting in your studies or job experience?

Honestly, it depends. The basics like tracking income, expenses, and balancing accounts are pretty simple once you get the hang of it. But when you get into taxes, audits, or financial reporting, it can get tricky. With some practice and the right tools or software, it’s totally manageable.

It might seem difficult at the beginning due to all those rules and numbers, but after you learn the basics and train on a regular basis, then it becomes much easier.

Considering the fact that accounting might not be universally recognized as the most difficult among business majors, it still remains to be seen as more demanding than most other gradings within the business field. This is in part the result of the strict requirements for becoming a certified accountant as well as the challenging tests one has to go through in order to get a professional license.
