In O & G, I think most would be looking for "Production Accounting" experience or training...like this at MRC.

The problem with this is that there are a lot, and I mean
a lot of people out there with this certificate but not enough with accounting education. She has receivable experience so that is a plus as PAs deal with receivables all the time, but there is the expense and billing side of it as well.
There are a lot of jobs out there for payable/receivable accountants she shouldn't have too much trouble finding a job especially with the experience she has. The fact she has 3 years behind her would lessen training time which is a big plus right now. Most companies will pay for an education so she will be able to do that after.
She should definitely put her prior degree in her resume as it indicates that she is probably intelligent(good with numbers), has a work ethic and shows that she completes what she starts. It may even substitute for her lack of formal education in accounting initially.
