Answer
Hello Scott,

Thanks for asking a question. Bookkeeping is really just a part of accounting training. I always recommend attending an accredited institution - do not be tricked into signing up for some course with wild claims of a great career. There are several businesses that offer a bookkeeping certification, but most businesses prefer to use a CPA rather than someone with a certificate.

Check into Strayer for a BS in Accounting (http://strayer.edu/about#affordability) or University of Phoenix (http://www.phoenix.edu/tuition_and_financial_options/scholarships.html).

Also, you should fill out the FAFSA, the Free Application for Student Aid, http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

The FAFSA is your key to finding financial aid for accredited institutions.

I suggest that you contact online universities and ask for information about their programs. After you have asked all of your questions and filled out the FAFSA, then weigh your options. if you are going to invest in your education, invest in a BS in Accounting.

Kind regards,
Cindy Wolfe
