I currently hold an Associates degree in Accounting and have been employed 10 years as an accounting manager in a privately held business. The business was recently purchased by a large corporation which has changed my position a great deal. I am employed in the steel industry which uses steel specific accounting software, so I am not familiar with quicken/peachtree. With the state of the current economy, cutbacks, etc, I feel now may be the time to branch out on my own. What specific courses would you suggest I begin taking to ready myself for this task?

Not sure what direction you should pursue, but in this economy, it's a great time to pursue education and broaden your skill set!

Take Ken's advice. Universal Accounting has a system for small business accounting (and tax) geared for folks in your (our) situation. The first step is to spend some time on the UAC website.

if it is really so, then i think such a current economic trend, it is really difficult to come up with new business.
