Suggested sequence

  1. Review 20–30 Accountant vacancies and record actual tasks, mandatory requirements and tools.
  2. Define the bridge from Property management Consultant: knowledge of the sector, terminology and typical work situations. Prepare two examples where this experience produced a measurable result.
  3. Learn Advanced Excel and Power BI to the level of completing an independent practical task—not merely finishing a course.
  4. Create a finance case using open or anonymized data: model, calculation, dashboard and management conclusion.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for Accountant, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
Timeline and pay are indicative. They depend on starting skills, location, experience, weekly study time and employer requirements.
