how to land a job as an accounting advisor

First off the main thing you need to focus on when aiming for a position as an accounting advisor is to get a solid education. I am not talking about going to one of those quick 2 year programs or going to a vocation school. You will need a solid well rounded education in accounting/finance/accounting advisor/or economics from a 4 year school. You can also go to a community college to get an AA in accounting but I'd recommend the 4 year BA degree instead.

Once you've obtained that I would aim for a different accounting job such as an accounts receivable clerk or accounts payable clerk. This way you can use that experience you gain to apply for the position of accounting advisor.

Once you've got that much experience I would recommend applying for your state's CPA which stands of certified public accountant. It basically shows you know what you are talking about when it comes to accounting.
