It's important to note that while a certificate in accounting/ management can provide a foundation for entry-level positions, higher-level roles may require further education or professional certifications such as a bachelor's degree in accounting or relevant professional designations (e.g., Certified Public Accountant - CPA). Additionally, gaining practical experience through internships or volunteer opportunities can enhance your prospects in the job market.
