From Accounting Basics to an Accounting Bachelor's Degree

I grew up in Port Angeles, Washington, and my career took an unexpected turn that led me into accounting. My first job was at an aluminum boat-building company, where I started from the ground up and eventually found my way into the accounting department as an administrative assistant for the accountants.

The turning point came when an accounting manager advised me to get a formal education in accounting. I took that advice and earned my associate's degree in accounting in 2019. While I was at the boat-building company, I built my accounting skills and learned many parts of accounting, including how the accounting equation works.

Now I've decided to build my skills further for the benefit of my clients. Learning never stops, so I'm working toward my bachelor's degree in accounting and I hope to become a certified public accountant. This study will give me a deeper understanding of accounting principles, including the accounting equation, so I can give clients better advice on accounting services and on running their business and finances well.

The reason is simple: a bachelor's degree in accounting adds to what I know and lets me serve my clients better. With more expertise, I can give you clear guidance on accounting basics and help businesses plan their finances.

I believe that investing in accounting education builds my credibility and brings in good clients who value loyalty, trust, and reliability. I love sharing what I know, and not only in school. I enjoy teaching the basics and essentials of accounting to clients and friends.

Because I want to help small businesses, I made an accounting Excel template for people in Redding, CA who want to do their own accounting. This easy-to-use tool is built on accounting basics. It shows how much I care about making money matters simple and helping local businesses do well.

In short, my path into accounting has been about learning, including working toward an accounting bachelor's degree and certification. I hope to become a certified public accountant, and I'm determined to improve the service I give my clients and to give back to the accounting world in my community.
