At a time when accountants are expected to do everything — to know the law, tax regulations, the social insurance system, to be everybody’s service desk — it seems the list of obligations never gets shorter.
On the other hand, accountants increasingly show solidarity, collegiality and responsibility.
600+ colleagues in 48 hours — and silence in response
In the lead-up to the new law, in just 48 hours, more than 600 colleagues gave their support via the platform racunovodje.net — with major help from the community in the Viber group and the backing of ISRCG.
Although the requests were not acted upon, accountants — without pressure, without demands, as always — kept silent, accepted it and moved on.
The new act — clear obligations
The new law has stipulated:
- The obligation to keep accurate and complete business records — in line with international standards
- Entities must engage licensed accountants or registered legal entities to keep their books
- Accountants are required to continuously maintain their knowledge and attend training
These obligations are not a burden — they are a confirmation of the importance of our profession.
Accounting is the foundation of everything
Without accurate accounting there is no accurate profit — and without profit there is no development.
My own path has been somewhat different — I was more driven by management, technology and systems development. But having gone through every level of knowledge — from certified accountant to auditor — I have realised one thing:
Accounting is the foundation of everything.
It is not just a job — it is a philosophy of balance, understanding processes, and connecting dots that everyone else sees as separate.
What software cannot replace
When routine tasks are automated, what remains is something no software can replace:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Balance
That is you — the accountants who know, who keep learning, who put things in order and balance. You are the ones who first recognise genuine business success — and the only ones who can prove it.
Conclusion
Good, hard-working accountants are worth their weight in gold to every successful company and system — and the most successful ones know it well.
