You can either be CPA - certified public accountant, of course once you pass the exam, and in that case you can have your own practice or work for someone else. You can be a corporate private accountant, preparing statements for businesses, and you can be a non-profit accountant as well.

Locate the accounting firm that you want to work for and ask them what educational requirements they require.\n\nYou may be surprised to learn that they only require a High School Diploma or GED.  The reason for this is that they have in-house programs and would prefer to train you on their systems, rather than have you educated by someone else then have to spend months reprogramming you to how it is done in THEIR company.

try countrywide home loans. They are usually willing to give accounting degree holders jobs without much experience (as long as you know your accounting, have basic office skills such as typing and using calculators). My friend got a job there checking collateral. She later moved up to working at Warner Brothers as a contracts administrator. Goodluck.

Depending on your background, go for a Bachelors in Accounting.  Many firms hire fresh graduates as trainees.  If doing Bachelors is not an option for you then buy some books on Fundamentals of Accounting.  Once your basics are strong, you can start applying for trainee jobs.  REMEMBER: there is not much growth without a proper degree.

If you already have a Bachelors in commerce it will be very easy for you to do. The best way to do this is to go for an associate degree in accounting  in a community college and then transfer to a four year college. If that is not possible you can start by taking diploma courses from\n H&R Block\nJackson &Hewitt etc.\nI am also currently in the process of expanding my business for the next tax year. If you are interested please feel free to contact me.

My dear friend. dealing with money makes more money.  you can never compare accounting jobs with nursing services.  nurses are humanitarians in nature, getting a good nursing job will have to be a big huspital or setting up your own esterblishment, and that does not come easy.  but when you are an acountant, you can work anywhere including a huspital.\n\nMoreover, you can work elsewhere while you operate your own little business.  accounting experience help you to do more business than any other field.\n\nSO GO FOR ACCOUNTING AND MAKE PLENTY OF MONEY.

Dear friend, please specify your locational conditions and also specify your qualifications, experience , etc.\n\nFor small to medium sized companies , B.Com or M.Com. degrees can do but for big sized companies they require C.As or MBA (finance). Also these days you need to have Computerised Accounting skills.\n\nYou can approach various placement consultants or online job sites or just newspapers.

Major in Accounting...then go to grad school.  Most states require 150 credit hours, and specific accounting coursework to sit for the CPA exam.  Some states also require public accounting experience.\n\nYou could also major in something else too...though Accounting would be the quickest way to finish.  I was Marketing undergrad....and I'm about to sit for the CPA exam in Maryland sometime next year.  \n\nBest Wishes to you!\n\nWould like to add that it's well worth it too! The work is good and stable.\n\ncheck out:\nhttp://www.nsacct.org/index.asp

For this kind of job expect questions specific to your accounting skills. \n\nI would ask you about your knowledge of recent accounting pronouncements, such as FAS 133 derivatives accounting; your knowledge of regulatory capital and new initiatives like Basel II: your specific knowledge of the banking business like how other banks account for their securities portfolios & accounting methods now used in acquisitons.\n\nI'd ask you about your past work experience especially if it includes a major accounting firm. I'd ask how many people you supervised, in what capacity.\n\nSince a controller is a pretty senior position I'd also try to assess your people & organizational skills through loose, meandering, conversation oriented to your work experience.\n\nTo brush up on banking go through web sites like www.occ.treasury.gov or for accounting go through archives at www.fasb.org\n\nThis job is very technicals so brush up.
