A Day in My Life as an Accountant in Chile

I wake up at 7 AM every day. I get ready and have breakfast with my family. At 8 AM, I leave my
house and go to the office. I arrive at 9 AM and start my work. First, I check my emails and look at
my schedule for the day.

I have meetings with my clients to talk about their financial statements. I look at their numbers and
make sure everything is correct. I use my computer to do calculations and create reports. Sometimes,
I find mistakes, and I help my clients fix them.

At 1 PM, I have lunch with my colleagues. We talk about our day and share stories. After lunch, I visit
my clients’ offices. I check their financial documents and ask them questions. I take notes and collect
information. This part of my job is very important because I need to make sure everything is accurate.

In the afternoon, I return to my office. I write my findings and make recommendations for my clients.
I prepare detailed reports and send them to my clients. Sometimes, I have meetings to explain my
reports and answer any questions they have. I like helping my clients understand their finances
better.

At 5 PM, I finish my main tasks. I check my tasks for the next day and clean my desk. I organize my
files and make sure everything is ready for tomorrow. I leave the office at 6 PM and go home.

When I get home, I spend time with my family. We have dinner together and talk about our day. I
feel happy and satisfied because I help my clients with their finances and make sure their businesses
run smoothly. I go to bed at 10 PM, ready for another busy day as an accountant.
