Accounting is the MOST IMPORTANT skill for those pursuing a business career. It provides useful information and helps users understand businesses and analyze metrics to make informed decisions.
Warren Buffett, the greatest investor of all time (net worth of $65 BILLION), states that accounting is the language of business:
“You have to understand accounting and you have to understand the nuances of accounting. It’s the language of business and it’s an imperfect language, but unless you are willing to put in the effort to learn accounting – how to read and interpret financial statements – you really shouldn’t select stocks yourself”
