frequented in tax office can unequivocally answer the question of who is more among accountants - women or men. The bulk of accounting workers who come there are women, and today in Russia the profession of an accountant, according to the prevailing stereotype, is considered female. But is it really so? And can a man be an accountant?

As it was before

Despite current position cases, history says that the founders of accounting science were men. The first mention of the basic principles accounting was made in a scientific treatise of 1494, the author of which, Fra Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli, spoke about the balance, debit, credit and double entry system.

However, historically, in those days, almost all professions were male. It is today that specialties have begun to be divided by gender.

How to eat now

Today, about 94% of accountants are still women. Perhaps the transformation of the accountant profession into a female one was due to the need to fill out thick ledgers in neat handwriting, or perhaps bookkeeping simply did not require the application of great physical strength.

One way or another, meeting a male accountant today is a rarity. And there are reasons for this.
First of all, the very essence of accounting comes down to the pedantic collection and sorting a large number papers. A more patient woman handles this better.

Yes, and accounting today is still more often purely female teams. From a psychological point of view, it is very difficult for a man to “survive” in such a team.

However, in fact, male accountants still exist, and there are not so few of them. Most often, they occupy leadership positions and become chief accountants. By the way, this is another reason why the male sex does not sit up in ordinary employees of the accounting department. Due to his inherent desire to pursue a career, the work of an accountant is most often seen by men as a springboard to higher and more senior positions in the company. Through an ordinary accountant, they strive to get into the positions of chief accountant, financial director and other management positions.

The male accountant, having taken the place of the head of the department, however, will strive to pursue a career further. A woman as chief accountant is likely to stay with the company for a longer period.

Future Trends

Today, accounting is as close as possible to Western accounting standards. And this dictates its own rules - after all, in the West today there are much more male accountants than women. Therefore, companies that implement Western-style accounting are more likely to invite male specialists to their offices.

The fact is that the difference between Western accounting and Russian accounting lies in its proximity to financial management company. In fact, an accountant in the West is a financial analyst of an enterprise. And this attracts representatives of the male sex to the profession.

Taking into account trends recent years, it is quite possible that Russian accounting, if it does not become a purely “male business”, will in any case significantly replenish the ranks of its “adepts” with male accountants.

Mezentseva Vasilisa

Although there is no special gender division in the accounting department and you can certainly meet experienced male accountants, nevertheless, as statistics show, the vast majority of employees in the accounting departments are women.

And this is not at all because they are better at doing bookkeeping for LLCs or compiling various kinds of reports, it’s just that most men find accounting to be too painstaking and routine.

Why is an accountant a better fit for a woman?

Every year the number of different decrees and laws does not decrease, but grows. The government publishes thousands of documents, almost half of which are somehow related to taxes and accounting. To take into account all the new directives, which sometimes even contradict each other, requires truly iron nerves and angelic patience. And men, alas, cannot boast of this.

In addition, men - with rare exceptions - are less diligent. In addition, in the accounting department they pay little, and a low salary does not lead to high responsibility.

And do not forget about the extreme nature of the profession. In the accounting department, sudden checks by the tax authorities are frequent, and these are necessarily troubles, unrest, etc. Well, what man would agree to endure all this?

What traits of a female character are in demand when working as an accountant

In order to become a good professional, a woman will need such character traits as:

  • perseverance and hard work, allowing for a short period of time to perform a large amount of work;
  • the ability to overcome or even force oneself to perform routine work, knowing that the enterprise really needs it.

True, sometimes femininity gets in the way. For example, if a man who looks very respectable in a suit enters your office with a sweeping and confident gait to solve the problems that have arisen, this is perceived completely differently than if a shy and modest woman crosses the threshold.

To become a professional in accounting, you must definitely get a higher accounting education, and then work as an ordinary accountant for about five years. Ordinary courses are not enough here, they can only be compared with the liquidation of illiteracy.

Why is an accountant more often a woman than a man?

A significant part of our readers are accountants.

Moreover, the editors remember that the vast majority of people in this profession are women.

Why is an accountant more often a woman than a man, and what is the difference between a male accountant and a female accountant?

This is the question we asked our readers. And this is what they answered:

Nina BEZRUKOVA, chief accountant of the Tyulpan joint venture:

Initially, an accountant is not a male, but a purely female profession. And that's why. Accounting is painstaking, routine work, and men do not like routine work. The legal base is growing by leaps and bounds. Totally agree last year the government issued 1,700 documents. Of these, a significant part is directly related to accounting and taxation.

Only a woman accountant can work within the framework of such a regulated, and sometimes contradictory legislation, hourly check the work of an enterprise with its requirements. Men do it worse - they are less diligent.

And men also lack elementary responsibility - not too high earnings do not dispose them to it. Men can be responsible for something only for very big money. In my opinion, a man goes to accountants only out of desperation.

And accounting is an extreme profession. He lives in a state of constant expectation of trouble. All sorts of checks, including the tax inspection, are great on the nerves - not all men can endure this! Maybe that's why over the past three years I have not seen a single male accountant, except perhaps the heads of accounting teams, again - consisting of women ...

Valentina TITOVETS, Deputy Chief Accountant of the International Center for Integration Information - Public Press Center of the Press House:

If the head of the enterprise wants to hire a male accountant, he should know that he can fill up the job. I have worked as an accountant for many years. For all these years, I managed to meet only one male accountant. He could not sit still - he kept walking along the corridor, smoking, worried, feeling out of his element, saying that one could go mad from such monotonous work.

In addition, the male accountant is not distinguished by diligence. But women are characterized by perseverance, hard work, and the ability to overcome oneself so as not to abandon routine, but necessary work for the enterprise.

This does not mean that men are worse than women in some way. In my opinion, men are well versed in market processes, for example, in pricing policy, so they show themselves as economists, employees of planning and economic departments, financiers, etc.

Galina YAKUBOVSKAYA, chief accountant of CJSC "Belbiznespress":

I believe that men in any field of activity are a class above women. They have common sense, analytical mind. They are even visually perceived better than female accountants. It's one thing if a solid man in a suit and tie came into the office resolutely to resolve the issue. And quite another thing - a woman quietly entered, and even if she is a modest person by nature!

At the same time, I believe that both men and women can be professionals in accounting. Unfortunately, our firms often employ simply illiterate accountants who are in fact unable to correctly issue invoices and calculate VAT. Sometimes up to 50% of consignment notes received by ZAO are filled out incorrectly. They say that the computer is wrong. And who will answer to the tax - a computer?!

The thing is that our profession is often visited by people who have barely completed accounting courses and studied an accounting computer program, who take on the duties of a chief accountant.

After working for a year or two in one company, they undertake to keep records in the second, third. As a result, such accountants fill up the work. To avoid this, business leaders need to remember that candidates for the position of chief accountant must have a full-fledged higher education in accounting, having at least 5 years of experience as an accountant. Accounting courses can be compared with the zero class at school.

Zinaida PROTASENYA, chief accountant of Darlaid:

Despite the fact that our work is connected with numbers, calculations, with the fact that, in general, men are close, male accountants are extremely rare.

Probably because this work is unnecessarily "sedentary". Great patience, organization and perseverance are required. These qualities, in my opinion, are more inherent in the weaker sex.

Personally, I do not regret for a second that I chose this profession. For me, my work is a great creative process and constant training of abilities.

Tatyana NAUMOVICH, accountant of RUE "Trading house Belkhlebprodukt":

Our profession is constant tension (God forbid I make a mistake!) and concentration of attention, because work is connected with money. And women probably do it better. They are more responsible and attentive... Despite the seeming "dryness" of the profession, it is diverse and quite interesting. I like her.

Natalia MOSKALEVA, private store accountant:

In the understanding of men, this is not the most prestigious and highly paid job. Men are leaders. They aspire to leadership positions in those areas where there is a prospect of career and professional growth. When I was in college, we only had two male students.

And unlike the girls who consciously chose this profession, the guys followed the wishes of their parents. I like my profession. I chose her to match myself: in life I am just as accurate, restrained, punctual.

Antonina LYUTSKO, accountant of the enterprise "Darida":

There are few men in our profession, because the work is quite difficult.

Little free time. Everything has to be thoroughly calculated, recalculated, rechecked: sometimes it is difficult to find specific answers to specific questions. What is caused, in my opinion, by some roughness in the legislation, in particular, in taxation.

Irina SHTYRKOVA, chief accountant of Yukola-auto:

This is how things are with us. In the West, there are a lot of men among accountants. Apparently, our men (no offense they were told) do not like work that is associated with scrupulousness, hyper-sustainability. They prefer to put forward ideas and look for performers for them. Perhaps, such a factor as upbringing also affects. Indeed, in most families, women-mothers are in charge of finances, boys see this from childhood.

And they absorb from an early age that a woman should deal with financial issues.
