Debra, your skills will help determine your answer, i.e., do you have foreign language fluency, or at least conversational skills? In addition to your growing accounting skills, do you have a work background in a particularly industry, say, construction or military projects? Do you or can you get a security clearance? Can you join one of the big accounting organizations for six months and get your auditing experience in SOX or something close to get a hard-to-find skill? Other countries have accountants – you need to bring an additional skill to persuade an organization to spend $$ to relocate you; US expatriates are the most or near the most expensive in the world.
My suggestion is you take a look at the job postings that involve foreign work and work backwards from the requirements, contact your Accounting Society (am assuming you want to work in Accounting) for guidance and check with the brick and mortar college job postings. Websites that could be worth your time: iscworld.com, Monster.com, your accounting society.
May be difficult to take your children with you, may be very difficult. Sorry to be pessimistic, but good luck!.
