The Personality of NumbersWhat kind of personality suits accountancy?
Is it really just for “bean counters” — or does it take something more?
In this episode, we dive beneath the stereotype to uncover the real traits that define accountants and auditors: trust, patience, curiosity, persistence, and the ability to balance opposites — detail and big picture, routine and crisis, numbers and human stories.
From auditors chasing down a hidden discrepancy at two in the morning, to forensic accountants telling stories in a courtroom, to management accountants shaping the future of entire companies — this episode explores how personality shapes the profession, and how the profession shapes personality in return.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re the right “type” for this career… listen closely. You may find the answer isn’t about loving maths, but about loving meaning.
