Besides basic bookkeeping and data entry, the field of accounting can be greatly rewarding and diverse. While individuals with graduate degrees are preferred for senior roles, this is not necessarily an obstacle to your own career advancement.

 

Practical experience in the hospitality industry, with its special accounting practices, or one hotel or resort in particular does count for a lot when it comes to promotions. This course, comprising both recorded video lessons and personalized one-on-one training, is designed to provide all the essential skills you’ll need for a senior leadership position.
