Introduction

Discover an incredible opportunity to excel in the world of accounting and bookkeeping for US businesses. Regardless of your educational background – whether you're a commerce, economics, finance, or accounting enthusiast, including college students – you can seize this chance. You don't need to be a CA, CS, or hold an MBA degree to thrive.

In the US, accountants and CPAs charge a whopping USD 300 per hour for their services. But guess what? You can offer the same expertise at a significantly lower cost, thanks to your advantageous position.

The post-pandemic era has revolutionized the way we work, opening up a realm of possibilities for remote employment across various domains. Indians, traditionally associated with coding, now have an unprecedented opportunity to tap into remote jobs beyond the tech landscape.

Imagine charging just USD 10 per hour – even lower than minimum wages – and dedicating 200 hours each month. The result? An impressive potential income of up to USD 2000 per month right from the start. This opportunity isn't confined to metropolitan areas; individuals from smaller Indian cities are already harnessing its potential.

All you need is a grasp of US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and familiarity with popular accounting software like Quickbooks, Xero, Wave, and Zoho Books.

This Executive Certificate Course empowers you to:

• Master US GAAP: Understand the accounting framework that drives US businesses, giving you a competitive edge.
• Navigate Accounting Software: Gain hands-on experience with industry-leading software, enhancing your efficiency and desirability.
• Seize Remote Opportunities: Equip yourself to offer remote accounting services to US SMEs, startups, and CPAs, building a fulfilling and lucrative career.

Can I get remote freelance work after doing this course?

At LawSikho, we have two types of students: those who already possess good legal skills and those who are in the process of learning. We believe in enabling our learners to start earning from their knowledge without delay.

For students with professional-level legal skills, we offer opportunities in contract drafting, data & privacy, international business law, US immigration law, litigation support, and international IP law work.

However, we understand that acquiring professional-level skills takes time. For those who are still developing their legal skills, we provide alternative work opportunities such as writing articles, conducting research, legal transcription, data entry, law firm administration, social media management, and more. Some students even engage in tasks like voice-over work, data compilation, translation, and virtual assistance.

We have established a dedicated team that actively pitches to organizations in the US to help LawSikho students find remote work.

We have set up a US entity to bridge the trust gap between US legal professionals and an organization operating from India.

We focus on getting learners their first three clients, guiding them in crafting impressive proposals. By the time they secure these initial clients, learners become well-adjusted to the process and can independently attract more clients.

They build their CVs and profiles with real work experience and testimonials, opening doors to numerous opportunities.

Getting started is often the hardest part, but at LawSikho, we make the process frictionless. We have witnessed law students earning well over $1000 per month.

Some students have earned $500 in their first month as a side gig. We have students who, after a year, now earn $10,000 per month. While some may start with $300, they make progress by learning new skills, improving their profiles, and pitching for higher-paying work.

Between April 2021 and June 2023, we created over 21000+ opportunities for our learners, resulting in thousands of students securing freelance work. The total value of work secured amounts to over $3,30,000 (Aprox INR 2.7 Crore). Additionally, hundreds of individuals found employment, and secured internships.

Please note that these numbers represent the initial gigs facilitated directly by us or those on which we actively collaborated with the learners. Students have also secured additional work beyond our tracking.
