I stumbled into Finance as an analyst because I was numerate at a more than high school level, then later combined people skills with data skills, even if I'm not an accountant, and found out that such a talent stack is rare in people and there's a market for it. I make decent money.

I find Excel good to work with, as long as it's not on Sharepoint, but overly formula driven spreadsheets are a bane in my opinion.
