- It seems like this time of year,
everybody has a lot of questions for accountants.
But I had one question I don't think
they were being asked very much.
- I'm David.
- I'm PK.
- I'm Jordan.
- My name is Karen, and I'm an accountant.
- An accountant.
- Accountant.
- Growing up, I wanted to be in the NFL.
- I wanted to be a teacher.
- I wanted to build robots.
- I wanted to be a coffee taster.
- I don't think any accountant actually chooses
to be an accountant.
It's kind of destiny.
- Most people assume that accountants are dull and boring,
but we live pretty sweet and exciting lives,
outside the office and in the office.
- I do pay rates.
I do time cards.
I do algebra.
- Numbers.
- I don't think you realize how dope accountants are.
(typing)
- Oh, problem solved.
(typing)
Oh, hard math.
(typing)
Boom.
- What's the best part about being an accountant?
Everything.
- Every business and organization needs an accountant.
- If you really actually think what an accountant does,
they pay for people's lives.
- I dominate the numbers all day.
- Tax season is when I realize that us as accountants,
we're on the inside, and everyone else,
they're on the outside.
- Tax season is chaotic.
- It is a time where I get to kinda
flex my numerical muscles and kinda show people
that I'm not all talk.
- Tax season is basically my Super Bowl.
It's what I was born for.
It's what I take every breath of every day for.
It's the championship.
- Tax season is the Thunderdome,
and that's where I belong.
- I'm proud to be an accountant.
I mean, it's like this upper echelon of number crunchers.
You know, it's this elite brotherhood and sisterhood.
- You know, let me guess.
You want to move to Los Angeles to become an accountant.
Okay, well, guess what?
Don't.
Because I'm one of the very lucky few
that have managed to make it.
But guess what?
A lot of people end up on the slow train
back to, like, City Town.
- Accounting is my dream.
- I'm sorry, I have to go.
