5 Pros of an Accounting Career in a Small Town:
So you are considering a career in accounting? You are in luck! We have loved being Clinton Oklahoma’s Accounting Service Providers for the last 20 years and we are here to help determine if being a small-town CPA or local accountant is a good choice for you.
Direct Career Path- You must have a degree to be an accountant. Although everyone should learn how to do their bookkeeping and accounting for their personal lives, you must be licensed and certified to charge people for your accounting services. That means you will have a very clear major and education path with slight variations depending on what type of accounting you want to pursue.
You can Work Remotely- With the recent Covid-19 Pandemic most members of the workforce are reconsidering the work from home dilemma. It is not only convenient and economic to cut out your commute, studies show that working remotely has increased productivity and workers morale.

Livable Wage- According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the average income for an Accountant was $73,560 per year. Although that number will differ depending on locale, physical location, and place of employment at 73,560 per year, the college degree may be worth the investment.
You COULD be your own boss- If entrepreneurship has ever been your idea of a good time, it is very common for accountants to open their own practices. Although business has its risks, it usually has its payoffs as well.
Stable Career Option- Although Accounting is evolving daily, it will always be a necessary service. Where there is money, there is a need to monitor, organize, and spend it wisely. As long as you are keeping up on your continued education and willing to evolve with the changes in technology, you will have a career for a long long time.
