senior accountant so that this builds the career in the field of the accounting industry. For long
term plan I need to attend some of the seminars relating to the accounting so that the skills of the
accounting can be enhanced and improvised. Thus, with the help of this advert I am more
confident that I will be able to work for this job position as an accountant.
