Emily’s Answer

I would think about what type of career you would like to pursue first and then based on that decide if pursuing an Accounting Assistant Technical Diploma would fit best. If you are interested in public accounting I would recommend going to a 4 year college and majoring in accounting. If you are interested in obtaining your CPA this would also be the better route in order to fulfill the 150 unit course requirement.

Kelly M.’s Answer

The careers available to those with an Accounting Assistant Technical diploma are mainly entry level administrative accounting jobs such as:
Accounts Payable/Receivable Accountant: records and pays bills of the company, records receivables transactions, bills customers at regular intervals, records charges and payments.
Payroll Accountant: handles the payroll for a business; end-of-period reports; time cards; computes overtime, deducts taxes, and prepares payroll checks; and reconciles payroll accounts.
Inventory Control Accountant: records receipt and dispersal of goods using a perpetual inventory system, assigns costs using an inventory valuation method.

I actually have never heard of anyone who has gotten this sort of certification. I agree with Emily's comment, you should think about what career you want and do what fits best to obtain that career. Also think about your long term goals. The accounting assistant technical diploma may get you an entry level job but there will likely be limitations on how much you can progress in your career without further education.
