How did you become a new bookkeeper?

Because of COVID, there have been all kinds of new online programs created teaching people how to create a new career.  Have any new bookkeepers gone through these new online programs to change careers?  If so, what are you doing to supplement your knowledge/experience?  Do you have confidence in what you've learned in these programs and feel you can put this new knowledge to practice?

I'm another one that worked through Ben Robinson's BL program. I also do the certifications and webinars through QBO. BL was a great program and their community support is amazing.

Thank you for the recommendation!

I have worked in Accounting for Several years

I also took Bookkeeper Launch! 

I was doing bookkeeping for 5 years prior to COVID and got an accounting and finance degree. I love it.

I've been in the real estate accounting industry for over 15 years. Started my firm many years ago but never really did much for it since my career/job required more of my time.
