How to become a virtual accountant?

To become a virtual accountant, you must first earn a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, then pass two exams to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA): the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination (Uniform CPA Exam) and a Professional Ethics Exam. Most states also require CPAs to take continuing education courses regularly to maintain their license. While in school, intern at an accounting firm to gain industry experience. After you have completed your degree and CPA requirements, acquire an entry-level accounting position to develop your accounting skills. Once you have established yourself as a professional accountant, seek employers or clients that utilize virtual accountants.
