I am part-time tax preparer, and looking for opportunities to work in accounting field. I am taking Financial Accounting, Accounting Software (Quickbooks, Excel Spreadsheets, and MS Dynamic GP), and Payroll accounting in local college. I have few years of retail management experience but not directly in accounting field. I don’t have an accounting degree. What are the chances for me to get a job in accounting?
I recently graduated in a 4th year institute with a major in Environmental Economics & Policy, but none of my classes are about accounting. However, I want to work for some entry level accounting paid job now so that it can benefits my resume, especially in the future when I will complete the MS in Accountancy .
I have a liberal arts degree and am trying to get a Masters in Accounting. Are there any jobs I could get now, before I get my CPA liscence, that would give me good experience?
Every post I’ve seen, article I’ve read, and people I’ve talked to tell me that they leave public accounting after their 2 year CPA required experience is done. Why is this? I have seen no benefit to staying in public accounting besides the realm of different things you get to do. Does anybody like public accounting? Any tips? Examples?
I’m an accounting rookie. I have a small business with some fixed assets for furniture and equipment, which I need to revalue. If I Cr that asset account for "Furniture", what would be a typical offsetting Dr entry?
Do I like Expense it as "Devaluation" or something. Or if I’m totally an idiot, please just tell me what people usually do.
Help is appreciated.
Here are some other details that might be helpful. This is my second interview with this firm. I recently recieved my associates degree in accounting and this is my first job. I have a fair amount of education, but not very much job experience. This company does not have a web site that I know of (I have searched). I do know that they do income taxes, payroll, and financial statements among other things. Their clients range from small to large businesses. Thanks for your suggestions.
like learn to be able to read financial report, doing taxes for small business etc… something general. Not hardcore accounting like the Chartered Accountants. Any good books out there? also how do you learn about law as well without studying law at law school? like about business contract law, etc… law related to business matters. Thank you.

Dear All, since the subject of accounting is so vast, what are the essence topics we should particularly take note of when determining whether a company is worth investing?
Thanks for your help.
