Accounting and auditing are two entirely different things. There are a lot of them in opposite definitions. But for now, I'm going to cite one (or maybe few more hidden in my explanation).
Accountants enjoy being in the office. They can last day in and day out going to office from home and then back to home. They would rather stay in the office than travel. If they have to go out, it could be just another office within the city. And their work are the same everyday, every month end, every year, and so on. Usually, it is those who have family who enjoy being an accountant. But there are also who don't have spouse and kids still enjoy being an accountant.
Auditors on the other hand, although they stay in the office majority of their time, they go to clients from time to time. And it is usually long distance travel. They enjoy meeting new people. Their work is relatively non-repetitive. Auditing one client to another is unique. Auditors are not guided by days, months, or years. Their timeline is base on working days instead. It doesn't matter what day of the month it is.
Before I end, here's a bonus. Accountants tend to negotiate more since they talk to tax officials of the government. They want to minimise the taxes of their clients as possible. Learning to negotiate is a must if you want to grow as an accountant. On the other hand, auditors tend to be firm. Their audit reports should be set in stone as possible, especially if the process flaw is really risky.
As CPAs and future CPAs, which do you think are you, an accountant or auditor?
