Thanks for the info. I'm interested in bookkeeping as a side business in my "free" time. Great to hear there is demand.

I’m interested about the flexibility in this career. Do companies allow you to work remotely overseas even though your primary tax residence address is in the United States?

Except in Puerto Rico. They ask here for at least a ln associate with like 3 years of experience to pay you 10/hr and you have to be able to do EVERYTHING at the same time.

Does this course teach you how to work QuickBooks, and do you need to be certified to get a job or start a business?

I am working on Fiverr but I am not getting any clients on Upwork. What can I do in this case? I mean, what is the easy way to get clients? Another aspect is how to do the client management strategy.

It's a "shortage of accountants because these companies want to hire from a certain demographic. I got my degree in 2013 and couldn't sniff a job. I finally gave up and stopped looking.
