I don’t think it’s universally true that accountants don’t deal with people a lot - it really depends on the accountant and exactly what they are doing. Many accountants do direct work with the public preparing tax and financial documents for them, so they may spend much of some of their days consulting directly with their clients, asking questions and providing information. Some accountants at big companies work on teams with other accountants or potentially with other people in financial services. You may not have to be as good at interacting with others as, say, a nurse or a social worker, but it’s probably best if you aren’t an ogre who eschews human interaction that said, OP, you can always get better at the phone, and that isn’t a core competency of accounting.
