Does anyone know where I can start a Bookkeeping or Accountants job whilst studying the subjects?
I would like to change my job asap and would like to venture into either bookkeeping or accountancy. I have searched all over the web and on the job search sites and cant find anything at all suitable as they all want experienced people or people half way through the qualifications. I have not started yet and if I can find a job that doesn't desire these qualifications at the beginning I can go on a fast track course whilst working....

Answer 1 :
In this economy, companies are only going to take the most qualified person that they can find. Since you have no education in the field and no experience, it will be next to impossible for you to land a job in this field.
Answer 2 :
check craiglist for jobs in accounts payable or accounts receivable- this is entry-level stuff. if you have to offer to work for free, anything to get your foot in the door. or, find a local, small CPA firm that will let you be an intern or ask if they have any clients looking for part-time bookkeeping help.
Answer 3 :
There is a place called the AAT http://www.aat.org.uk/, who offer apprentice based courses. Basically you have to find someone who is willing to take you on, you get paid but its basic minimum wage stuff and then you go to an AAT centre once a week and study to do the exams whilst your also learning as you work. It's hard to get someone to tkae you on but if you can it's worth it. Hard work but well worth it. Most employers will also pay for your exams so you could be earning and get a free qualifications whilst your there.
