I used to treat "developer Cameron" and "accounting student Cameron" as two different people. That split never worked.
When you're finishing a B.S. in Accounting at WGU while doing remote contract work, the honest move is one narrative: I'm building operational and financial literacy in public — not performing an agency brand on the side.
What "building in public" means here
It means writing down what I'm learning in accounting and remote ops — the actual coursework, the actual mistakes, the actual tools I'm using.
It means showing real work history without inflating titles. I've done ecommerce support, inbox management, WordPress builds, and HubSpot campaigns. None of it sounds impressive on a resume. All of it taught me something.
It means letting recruiters and hiring managers see the whole person — not a stripped PDF that hides the fact that I'm a student, a builder, and someone who follows through.
Why the degree matters
QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification gives me hands-on tool fluency. WGU gives me the theory — cost accounting, finance, tax context. Together they compound.
I'm not pretending to be a staff accountant. I'm honest about where I am: entry-level remote AP, bookkeeping support, and finance admin — where being a student is a plus, not a lie. I can categorize transactions in QBO, reconcile accounts, and explain why the numbers matter. That's the job.
What comes next
This site is where I write about what I'm learning. The resume page is for the formal version. The work page shows what I've built. Everything else is the story behind the lines.
