Hi
I was wondering what the appropriate salary for an ACCA affiliate would be in London. Essentially I am looking for a job that will take on an affiliate who has no practical experience.
Given that London is expensive, what would be an appropriate salary to ask for?
Thanks
You have no experience at all?
As a hiring manager (financial controller), I am not sure I would consider someone that has no experience for anything less than a junior role. Being able to pass exams does not guarantee ability to perform, often what you are taught is very different from how it works in the workplace
I often think people see passing the ACCA is a ‘golden ticket’ to a senior job and large salary, but to get that you need the experience to go with it, being a good accountant is more than knowing the theory, its about being a good business partner and being able to advise the organisation
Are you looking for Industry or practice? I will assume industry, in which case maybe aim for a general ledger assistant / entry level analyst type role, at a rough guess of £25k per annum?
Sadly Carl is correct. From what I have seen online, entry level ranges from 15k to about 25k. Affiliate with no experience is a tricky place since you really are like a person out of university with no experience.
Yes very strange. First I have heard of someone doing all the exams without no experience. I would say a lot would depend upon what you have done whilst you did your ACCA. If you did something else with transferable skills then maybe you could still get a decent salary, but hard to say until you say exactly what you did over the last few years.
