I want to ask something!
I am an Acca finalist and worked for more than 5 years on accounting and Banking roles.. I will be an ACCA member by next year hopefully, i am 32 years old and i love the industry accounting work. If do not go on public accounting and auditing or do not having work on a big 4 company, do will shorten my chances to be head of accounting or CFO one day??I am really stressed with my next career role and want some advice from all of you. Thank you and God bless.
Hey Steven,
You don’t need to work for one of the Big 4 in order to progress in your career and even become CFO someday. It’s certainly possible with the ACCA qualification to move up the ranks, but what’s more important is the quality of your work. Showing that you add value to your company can boost your chances of success. In addition, if you go on to earn an MBA, you will more likely be selected to fulfil management roles.
Again, education is one thing, but demonstrating your skills in the workplace will make a huge difference. Fortunately, you love the accounting field, so this shouldn’t be a problem for you.
Here’s a very good article from ACCA on this topic: https://yourfuture.accaglobal.com/global/en/blog/steps-to-becoming-a-CFO.html
