be practicle accounting is the world most easiest job!!!!!!!! ppl have just made it a big issue, few rules to be followed and you are in.. but one things its like having a diploma and graduation.. you will work the whole life as accountant without and accouting degree but you will never become a manager
so i suggest go for accouting job understand the fundamentals and then do some professional courses as acca/cpa etc.
you can apply for the the CPA Exam.
Also, go to some small CPA firms and talk to them about how you want to become a CPA
You will most likely need a degree in accounting. Accounting is a very task-specific occupation and the degree in accounting is almost a requirement.
Since you have a degree in business, you can try business development and supervisory positions, work for promotions in the bank. Unless you have some experience with accounting or have an accounting degree from a top university, you can’t get any accounting jobs. Also with your years of experience in the bank your pay could be quite high, why quit? I suggest you stick with your old job, or something you are best at.
