Accounting and Bookkeeping Professionals-Make Money Working from Home

Besides starting your own CPA firm or Bookkeeping business, there are several other options to work from home as an accounting professional. If you have a degree in Accounting or any other financial area, or have worked in the financial industry as a bookkeeper, accounting clerk, payroll assistant, AP/AR clerk, then consider the option of working at home online. Preparing your online professional portfolio is just as important as the resume sent out when seeking an “in-office” position. Listing achievements and attaching samples of completed relevant work are great additions to a portfolio, in order to supply proof of your experience and qualifications. Another way to prove to potential companies that you have the experience they need in order to be a top candidate for an accounting telecommuting position, is to take an online certification course in your area of expertise. Brainbench is a great website for testing credentials and proving competence. It will cost you a small sum, but in the long run it is worth its weight in gold.

Another way to prove your experience and skills is to work through a freelance website such as; Guru.com, Odesk.com or eLance.com. These sites are a great way to showcase your portfolio and gain positive work feedback and experience all while proving you have the professionalism and focus to work without supervision from your home office.
