You could literally go to prison.
bullshit
in breaking bad Skylar didnt have any accounting educating too and she was just good ad numbers
as long as you do your work right you dont need a diploma
>accounting is just using a calculator
wow
Breaking bad was not a real life documentary, fag.
how's 30 years in prison sound?
I'm willing to take the risk i will try my best not to get caught it will be much better than being a useless NEET
Just buy btc dude whys that so hard
Why would you want to be an accountant? You can be a financial controller without getting a certificate and you won't go to prison
Not him, I actually want to do that but I've been told here that you need to get the CPA even for controller jobs. Did you perhaps manage without one?
I think I would rather rope than do accounting
The reason why they want a CPA for a controller job is when the accountant comes to check your books they won't be fucked up.
But it's technically illegal to not have one if you are only doing internal accounting
>But it's technically illegal to not have one if you are only doing internal accounting
fuck sake *not illegal I meant
Why not just apply for admin jobs?
Also look for "project support", "executive assistant", things like that.
Of all the jobs you can do by lying, you choose the one that will get you rekt and behind bars. Just choose literally anything else bro
Accounting is boring and technical. There's a reason you need an education for it.
There's no way you'll be able to pick it up as you go. Your best bet is to go for clerk work like Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable and have the manager train you to be a bookkeeper.

Possibly the worst choice. Accounting has one of the highest burnout rates of any profession.
nagger you’re supposed to choose a profession you can’t go to jail for being caught in.
There are some good videos on youtube that will teach you the absolute basics of accounting. If you aren't a CPA though you're going to be locked out of a lot of better paying jobs. But even being a CPA it's still more profitable to go into management
