Accounting for dummies? What about finance specifically?

Accounting was the worst out of all my college classes 😐

Are you certain you need much accounting knowledge? What exactly is the project about?

It’s the SAP Finance module that I have to work with and right now I can’t understand any of the terms and processes as I’ve never studied accounting except for an accounting 101 class in college . So I’m completely clueless about how to tackle this .

I’m pretty torn on whether I want to take an offer for an internal role or not…
The job itself sounds pretty interesting. Lots of opportunity for growth (eventually will build out a team).

My only concern is the hiring manager. I talked to someone in my network who has worked with him in the past and she told me that she would 100% work with him again bc she learned a lot, but that he has a very dominant personality and that some ppl can butt heads with him.
