There are two ways to become an accountant either though training or though an accounts degree.\n\nYour first step would be to do an accountant techcians course such as CAT.  Then you can either do a degree and be a qualified but not a chartered accountant or do the ACCA or CIMA.\n\ni have finished the irish version of the accounting technicans course and it took me 2 years to complete the exams and i am currently working my way towards the required 2 years work experience before i can become a member.  The techicans exams allow you to skip the first year of any accountancy degree and the professional exams.  Definately worth doing.  \n\nTry these websites for more information:\n\nhttp://www.acca.co.uk/\nwww.cimaglobal.com/\nwww.iati.ie\n\nHope you find what you are looking for.\n\nxx

Actually, it is a certified profession and I believe that you would need to be a Certified Financial Planner CFP.   You can google it get more information.  There are degree programs, but I don't think a specific degree is required, but you do have to have to pass a series of tests.

If you could be a bit more specific, I could help.  I'm a trainee accountant.

Create business plan. It must include projections for at least 2 years.\n\nMake sure you have 20% - 30% down payment\n\nMake sure you have collateral. The following is the formula to calculate collateral:\nCollateral = (Personal Real estate value*0.8 – Mortgage) + Commercial Real Estate Value * 0.8 + Equipment value *0.5 + Inventory *0.1\n\nMake sure your credit score is 680+.\n\nMake sure you have relevant experience. Banks will never finance career change.\n\nCollect all necessary financial documents:\n1)Personal tax returns for the last 3 years\n2)Business tax returns (for existing business) for the last 3 years\n3)Profit And Loss statement year to date\n\nCall your local banks. Ask if they do SBA loans.\n\nWhile choosing bank, keep in mind that banks are specialized entities If you wanted Chinese food, you wouldn’t go to a steak house, would you? Banks are organized the same way. You will never find a bank that does all types of businesses and all types of loans.\n\nDo your homework. Call the bank, ask for a business loan officer and describe your business type and your financial needs. Try to avoid banks that will give you a general answer: “We make our credit decision on a case per case basis”. Most likely you will waste money and most importantly your time.\n\nComplete loan application – make sure there is no arithmetical errors, mistypings and all personal financial information is correct.\n\nSubmit the complete package – all documents that were requested by the loan office, in the order that was requested to the bank.\n\nGood luck,\nMarina Lando\nPresident\nBusiness Loan Quest\nhttp://www.blquest.biz

I would check with your accountant. I believe you have to prove that you have to prove you are in the real estate profession such as agent, property manager etc.

You want the CFP program not the CFA.\n\nTo become a CFP, you need three things.  A certificate that you complete a PFP program, related work experience and passing the CFP exam.  \n\nYou need the certificate of PFP program to sit in the exam, but there's no requirement prior to getting related work experience.\n \nI completed my education requirement through UC Santa Cruz Extension, I believe I learn a lot from the program because the instructors are all very experienced and established CFPs.  You can also try an "accelerated" program with providers like Kaplan or on-line program.  \n \nThe CFP exam is quite difficult.  It took me about six months (of weekends) to study for the exam.  But I heard there are some people who passed the exam with just a couple months of study.  \n \nHere's a list of websites that might be helpful.\n \nhttp://unex.uci.edu/certificates/business_mgmt/finance/pfp/\nhttp://cfp.net/\nhttp://www.fpanet.org/\nhttp://www.eduselect.com/e/kaplan/financial/signup.cgi?AffiliateID=311567&mid=

You can get a 2 year associates degree for lower level acct. jobs. A 4 year degree will take you much farther. Get a CPA and you can do even more.

My brother has been a CPA in private practice for about 17 years.  He earns well into the six figure territory.  He's in partnership with another CPA.  They have one CPA candidate who works for them and an office staff of about 6.  Our dad was also a CPA in private practice.  We grew up in a nice home and never wanted for much.\n\nYou need to have 3 years accountancy experience (after completing your BA) before you can sit for the exams.  That's like a medical internship and the employers know it.  Expect not a lot more than minimum wage during that period -- and expect to be worked nearly to death as well.  If you get lucky enough to land an internship with a "Big-8" firm, expect to spend most of your money on clothes.\n\nIt will probably take several shots to pass the exams.  Don't fret failure, very few pass these the first time around.  Once you pass a section, you don't need to retake it; you'll just retake the parts you failed.\n\nOnce you pass the exams, your income potential will be pretty much unlimited.  How much you can earn will be up to you.\n\nAfter 20 years in the biz, my brother loves the $$$ but hates the drudgery.  He's trapped by the lifestyle that he and his family have become accustomed to.  That's a hazard in many careers, though.

There are many different kinds of accountant.  If you are reasonably numerate (top 75 percentile) and logical/methodical in your approach to problem solving it isn't difficult at all.\n\nThe hard part is maintaining interest in your studies, as some segments of the qualifications can be very dull.\n\nThere are many different types of accountancy work.  Management accounting, financial accounting, bursarial work, advisory, forensic, audit.... the list goes on.  \n\nIt is a good career path, and if you take a good combination course, with a management element you may well be able to move into other work.  Most senior officers in local government and Chief Executives started their careers in accountancy.\n\nIf you are seriously considering a post graduate course in accountancy the main options are:\n\nCIMA - Chartered Institute of Management Accountants - good generic course with strong management element, liked by business and local government.\nhttp://www.cimaglobal.com/cps/rde/xchg/live/root.xsl/index.htm\nCIPFA - Chartered Institute of Public Finance Accountants - again good management element, but predominantly for those wanting a career in local government.\nhttp://www.cipfa.org.uk/\nACCA - Association of Chartered Certified Accountants - generally preferred option for practice accountants\nhttp://uk.accaglobal.com/\n\nYou could enter the career by working for one of the 'big four', KPMG, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and Ernst&Young.  Or any number of other firms, or you could apply for a trainee post within local government.  You should expect to take three or four years to qualify, but the financial rewards are high.\n\nBefore you leap into the career wholeheartedly, why don't you try getting a Summer job in an accounts office, or ask local firms/councils for some work experience to give you an idea of what's involved.\n\nPersonally I drifted into finance by accident, I've spent 10 years advising non-financial managers on all aspects of financial rules and regulations and the customer facing aspects of the job gave me great satisfaction.  I've done some audit/forensic accounting, which is brilliant if you like problem solving and puzzles.  Now I'm using that experience in a general management position.\n\nGood luck, whatever you decide to do....just remember that there's more to life than work.  After all I'm 34 and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up!!

I would suggest that you start with an Office Job.\nBone up on your Keyboarding, Go to an Occupational school if you have to.  The Office Job doesn't require heavy lifting hor standing on your feet for hours.  If you want to work, you must prepare yourself for employment.  Remember you must have something to offer an employer before you can be hired.  If you are proficient with a Computer and know anything about accounting, that is a plus.\nYou might also try a Real Esate office, they always need someone to answer phones and do light paperwork.\nGood Luck Lady.
