#Accountants, #TaxPreparers, and #BookKeepers of #Mastodon, After researching your careers and determining if its possible for a #Blind person to help people in these jobs, I've come to realize that yes, it is definitely possible. With Quickbooks and other software services, each one uses screen readers that allow a person who can not see the visual elements to input the proper information into the Balance Sheets, statements of Cashflows, Income Statements, preparing invoices, and all Tax forms, etc. If you know a blind person who is trained in accounting, bookkeeping, or tax preparation, I highly urge you to hire them, because they can provide the same quality of service a sighted person can, just in a different way. Thank you for reading, and please boost for reach, this needs to be given to companies who are looking for help. #Business, #SmallBusiness, #Jobs, #Accounting, #Finance, #CorporateFinance , #FinancialAccounting, #ManagerialAccounting
