Hey guys
I am 29 years old and I was 5 years in IT but I have decided to change career over to accountancy.
I am looking to go into the ACCA path as I wish to progress into financial accounting.
Can someone advise me what is the best way to get into ACCA/Accountancy?
Should I register for ACCA and simply start the studies? do I apply for a training contract?
I have a 2:2 in the computer science discipline.many thanks for any advice guys
March 5, 2013 at 6:23 pm #119306hey you can register with ACCA and start studies mean while start looking for work experience in Accounts role. I believe since you are in computer you think logicaly and hence passing ACCA should not be difficult. I have seen many friends coming from Science background and doing well with ACCA. however passing 14 papers may need some motivation.
Hey at different note I need your advice about studing IT, what do you suggest for Accounts background who wants to do IT, as i believe IT guys are really paid well. i want to study something which helps me enter into the field where i can use Accountancy and IT knowledge. some thing like business analysist/IT.
any suggestions ??March 5, 2013 at 10:27 pm #119325hey there
