A lot of accounting positions (lower than CPA level) have software experience as a bigee on their requirements list, even more important than a bachelor's. If a client "invites" you as a QB Accountant, you can get certified as a QB ProAdvisor for free. Bills.Com also has a free certification that employers would love to see on your resume as well. I'd say it's more about skills, experience, and work quality that gets you anywhere when you're entry-level, whether you have a traditional or nontraditional degree.
I know someone who's making ~$45k salary straight out of highschool as a bookkeeper, so there's that.
