Hi
I am studying Acca and worried about finding a job. I have a bit of experience in accounts payable, but I don’t want to apply for this role again.Welcome to our forums!
I’m sorry but that isn’t one of our areas of expertise.
I suggest you start here https://jobs.accaglobal.com/jobs
I am not sure if it helps but I my accounting career went like this;
Finance Assistant (very first finance job, I was studying AAT Level 2 & 3). Stayed here for 1.5 years and it involved basic accounting functions.
Accounts & Tax Assistant – second finance job in accountancy practice where I gained experience in preparing C. Tax and Personal Tax returns. I finished my Level 4 AAT and started my ACCA journey. Stayed in this job for 2 years.
Assistant Finance Manager – Third job in finance, finished my ACCA studies.
Finance Manager – Within 6 months of working as Assistant Finance Manager I got promoted to Finance Manager while having ACCA under my belt too. I have been in this role (across 2 jobs now) for around 4 years.
I would suggest similar approach, Finance Assistant role gave me core understanding on Sales Ledger, Purchase Ledger and basic budgeting. Accounts & Tax Assistant role in Accountancy practice was crucial to my career, it basically taught me how to prepare and review tax returns, VAT, payroll etc.
Hope this helps!
