An outsider's imagination of what the accounting world is like (after browsing r/accounting for a year)
I’ve been on this sub for over a year now. I’m not an accountant. I took some basic accounting classes for undergrad and grad, but that’s my extent to my knowledge. I follow this sub for office memes. Some of it is really relatable which is why I stick around. I would love to share what the accounting world is like in my imagination lol. I legit don’t know a single accountant IRL
