Why did you choose Cost Accounting rather than another field of accounting?

"Cost accounting is very interesting to me because I love to see a business grow more complex and require a stronger eye on their products and profitability. I like that, as a cost accountant, I can make a great impact on the profitability of an organization."

Because there are so many choices when it comes to types of accounting, the hiring manager should have a good understanding of why you specifically chose cost accounting. Talk to the hiring manager about your choice and why you are pleased with it.

"I chose cost accounting over other accounting fields simply due to my interest in business costs when it came to production and manufacturing. I find the business analysis components to be very intriguing."
