Is accounting a career that can enable job satisfaction without further accelerating to management positions?

No,

Job satisfaction is a personal need; management position is a career and professional development requirement. Everybody wants to GROW in life and nobody likes to be a dead plant lying in a corner.

If you are a qualified accountant (CA, ACCA, CWA, CPA or CIMA) with high passion then the doors to career progression at management levels will always remain open.
