Entry-Level Accounting Positions

Now is a good time to start crunching numbers! Entry-level accounting jobs are on the rise and they are paying well. As an entry-level accountant starting salaries are looking good at an average of $30,000-$40,000/year. The best part about these positions is that certification is not necessary. As an entry-level accountant you don’t need your CPA certification, you just need a degree and a basic understanding of debits and credits and Excel. And no experience.
Another great thing about these entry-level accounting positions is that they’re often self-proclaimed continuing-education. They want to be practice for your certifications so that once you have taken the CPA, you may stay with the company and continue contributing your expertise.
Again, these entry-level jobs can open numerous doors and shine light on opportunities that may not have been considered before. With an entry-level accounting job somebody who hadn’t considered accounting before because they have a degree in something else could potentially go on to become a very successful accountant if they so desire.
