Small businesses are the engine of new job creation. And an essential job in any new business is that of accountant and payroll administrator. Once a small business grows beyond the first three or four employees, it almost always becomes necessary to find someone who can send out invoices, pay bills, balance the books and make sure everyone gets their paychecks on time. It's a skill set that spans all industries and tends to be in demand regardless of economic conditions.
If you're good with numbers, are responsible and have an interest in the accounting field, you can acquire the skills and experience you need to qualify for entry-level jobs with small- to medium-sized business through the Accounting and Payroll Administrator career education program at the Mississauga campus of Everest College of Business, Technology and Health Care. Designed to be completed in less than a year, this college-level program offers students hands-on training in the key areas of financial accounting and payroll.
