Asked by Mehndi M
How do I get an accounting job with no accounting experience? I have 8 years of experience working in a bank (operations and mortgage) have a degree in business (graduated 4 years ago), however have never worked in accoutning. Thank you.

Best Answer:
Since you have a degree in business, you can try business development and supervisory positions, work for promotions in the bank. Unless you have some experience with accounting or have an accounting degree from a top university, you can't get any accounting jobs. Also with your years of experience in the bank your pay could be quite high, why quit? I suggest you stick with your old job, or something you are best at.

You will most likely need a degree in accounting. Accounting is a very task-specific occupation and the degree in accounting is almost a requirement.

you can apply for the the CPA Exam. Also, go to some small CPA firms and talk to them about how you want to become a CPA
