I was promoted partially due to nepotism, I interfaced with our finance team in my old role and had built good rapport. I feel like that’s the only circumstance someone hiring for an accounting position would even look at my resume.
That said, I am very capable, motivated, self-starting, thorough, etc. I’ve performed well in this position and I’m confident I could manage and learn almost anything, but I’m doubtful about how likely it is that I would even be considered, let alone hired, over someone with formal education or more experience?
Why do you want to leave? It would be easier to tell if you could hack it if you mention some of your current job description. The way you described yourself makes me think you could hack it somewhere else. However, you might not get past an interview/hired if you don't have experience working with certain things. Then again, you might.
Sorry about my terrible punctuation and run-on sentences :/
