If I didn’t yet perceive that corporate accounting was difficult in myriad ways, the chronicle of Frank Ross’ journey through the halls of the profession, that I look to call my own, has certainly crystallized it for me. His experiences provide a roadmap for the aspirations of this would-be accountant for whom he has helped to pave the way. That he, as a black West Indian immigrant, was able to achieve the level of success that he did in the Americas of the 1960’s and 70’s, presents a different sort of challenge to me, a second-generation West Indian immigrant. My challenge is how to emulate and hopefully achieve some measure of the success that he achieved, with similar courage, grace, and fortitude. And then to give back.

In “Communication Skills and Accounting: Do Perceptions Match Reality,” authors Elsie Ameen, Sharon M. Bruns, and Cynthia Jackson argue that there is an unrealistic expectation of skills required by accounting students and professionals. Using several studies and statistics they conclude that oral and writing skills are thought to be minimal and mathematics and tax preparation are expected to be the main source of skill needed in the accounting field. Employers generally stated oral and writing skills were among the top skills required to excel and move up in this department while studies from 1998 to 2006 showed little change in the expectations of employees and students and the anxiety of oral and writing skills remained higher in those majoring

He then went on to talk about how he got his accounting degree just so he could make money but it was not accounting that he ended up doing because he found a passion in what he does now. Sure, the accounting knowledge did help, but he said if he were to go back to school and get a degree it would be for something he loves such as film-making or production of some sort because it is something he really cares about. I found this extremely intriguing because it relates to so many students now and how he ended up where he is compared to where he though he would be when he was younger. He also discussed what his company looks for in new employees and though he does not have a ton of employees, he finds the ones he thinks will be best for the job. He looks for dedicated employees and contractors to work for him that are not going to waste his time and resources.
