What are some easiest jobs in Accounting and Finance you can do if you have no degree but interest?

Answer 1

Bookeeping. Everyone needs someone to keep track of the hours of their employees. Preparing cost center reports for a larger business can be mindless as well (unless their people are really incompetent).

Answer 2

You might want to investigate the availablity of a bookkeeper assistant. You might be needed during tax season. This is the time when clients show up with a sack full of receipts and want their taxes done.

These clients have this problem for a variety of reasons other then just neglect. They may have recently lost their spouse or they became serious illness. At this time they are not thinking about finances. If their spouse was responsible for family finances then they can be overwhelmed and confused by the loss.

Your job could be to sort receipts by date, expense and create a quicken or quick books report so that the accountant or bookkeeper can do their work.

There is a need for this type of service as an independant contractor. You could start your own business and advertize through bookkeeping companies who do not offer this service to their client base.

This is just what comes to mind at the moment. You might consider reading books that actually have specific advice on the matter. "200 great paying jobs without a degree" is helpful. You may find another occupation which strikes your fancy.

What is the environment where your want to work, what type of people do you want to work with and what kind of clothes do you want to were at work. What is the advancement potential. Do you have any neck or back problems. Is the job always sedentary? Do employers have ergonomically designed work stations, can you set one up yourself?

Some professionals business owners do not require their employees to were business attire and have a generally kick back attitude but are very professional.

Good luck and do some research to get a better insight. Know yourself and what you want and need.

Start working for an insurance company and work your way up to become a financial adviser. You may have to start as a salesman at a lowly level but it is good grounding. Building Societies are also less demanding on qualifications for some jobs but all you need is a foot in the door. Good luck and have a great Christmas.

Answer 4

You can be an assistant or clerk for the accounts payable and accounts receivables of a large firm. These departments always need someone to keep track of receipts, orders, checklists of what actually arrived vs what was ordered, unscheduled or emergency orders, returns, wrong products, defective products, salesmen, bill collectors, the whole gamut, the heart and purse strings of the company.

Answer 5

I would say become an accounting technician. You don't need a degree but as you build up your qualifications you can progress at work and even use your qualifications to count towards a degree or conversion to accountancy later on if you want.
