Foreign-Born Accountants Find Great Business Opportunities In America
and Canada
Many foreign-born accountants come to America and Canada with fantastic
accounting skills learned in their native country. The main obstacles that
they face when seeking a job in accounting or starting their own accounting
business fall into two categories:
Lack of certification in America or Canada
Not knowing the English terms used in Accounting.
Let's look at each of these obstacles in detail. You will see that with a
little extra training, you can overcome these obstacles quickly.
How To Get Certification in American or Canadian Accounting
If you have done accounting or bookkeeping in your native land, you will be
surprised at how many of the things that you are used to are very similar in
North American accounting systems. Most double-entry accounting systems do
not vary much from place to place. The fundamental principles of accounting
have not changed much in over 500 years.
You are probably fully aware of the similarities, but employers and accounting
clients may not be. They want assurance that the skills you have from
your native country are just as valid here. That's where certification comes
in.
Taking the Professional Bookkeeper™ program will teach you the methods of accounting
and bookkeeping used in America and Canada. Most importantly, upon successfully
passing the Professional Bookkeeper™ exam, you have something on paper to show
that you have mastered the skills needed to get a job as an accountant or to
take on clients in your own business. You do not need an American or Canadian
degree to show that you can do accounting and bookkeeping tasks here, but you
do typically need some kind of certificate. The Professional Bookkeeper™ certification
proves that you can do it.
Learn English Terms Used in Accounting in America and Canada
The concepts of accounting may be pretty universal, but the language used
is not. For many foreign-speaking people with accounting and bookkeeping skills,
not knowing the English-language terms used in accounting may be the only thing
holding you back. Accounting terms are simply not things taught in English
classes in most cases. Add to your mastery of the English language a knowledge
of the terms used in accounting. That may be all you need.
The
Professional Bookkeeper™ course is presented on DVD video. Hearing
the instructor speaking the accounting terms and seeing how they are pronounced
gives you an advantage that you don't get from a book. As the instructor introduces
accounting and bookkeeping terms, you can repeat back the word to help you
learn it more quickly. Because the course is on video, you can back up the
presentation and hear the terms over you might have missed.
The video learning is like an English class whose entire focus is on Accounting
and Bookkeeping. As you work through the examples in the course, you will see
the terms in context of how they will typically appear in journals, ledgers,
and on reports.
Success Stories
We hear from many foreign-born accountants that came to America seeking opportunity.
The only thing holding them back was lack of certification in America or Canada.
One such is Nadine Malpas, from Australia. Even though English is her native
tongue, she needed certification in America to start her own accounting practice.
She says of the Professional Bookkeeper™ program:
"I have been bookkeeping for over 6 years and I have learned more over the
past 4 weeks than I have in the past 6 years. I now understand what it is I
have been doing for 6 years. I am so excited about being an accountant now
and not just a bookkeeper. I feel confident and well prepared to have my own
accounting business. Thank you for opening new doors of opportunity. "
