Gone are the days when accountants wore green eyeshades and laboured over hand-cranked adding machines. Today, green eyeshades are more likely to be worn at the beach than the office. And adding machines have given way to desktop computers that can perform the work it once took an entire office of accountants to handle — while doing it faster and with greater accuracy.
If you are planning a career as an accountant, bookkeeper, clerk or other financial or business professional, having a working knowledge of today's most popular computerized accounting applications could add greater punch to your resume. You can get this background through the Computerized Accounting career education program at Everest College of Business, Technology and Health Care in Hamilton City Centre.
In less than a year, you can learn the fundamentals of computerized accounting, as well as how to put those concepts to work in an actual business environment. The program is taught by industry professionals who use real-world scenarios to ground their lessons in situations students are likely to encounter on the job. Classes are small, so you can be certain of getting the personal attention you may need.
