Certificate in Accounting & Job/Career?

Question

Is advanced certification in accounting worth doing if I need a job in accounting? I have a 1 yr work experience in a CPA company but no degree. I went to univ. for sometime but stopped coz of financial probs. I cannot go to school for 2-3 yrs but will this certificate help me find a decent job??

Answer 1

maybe that certificate will help in smaller companies. in a larger company, it may get you in the door for a very entry-level accounting job.

most companies will look for degreed accountants. depending upon the job available, a lot of them look for CPAs as well.
