    Hi All

    I am about to graduate in Accounting and Finance at uni, i also am working a full time job as an accounts assistant at a small company for 3 years now. I am at an inpass with that to do afterwards. I do not want to apply for graduate roles as generally they want people without experience and i feel like it would be similar work i have already done. I would like any advice on what paths I could take forward

    What salary and roles should i expect to receive/apply for at this current level? i also intend to study acca afterwards?

    Hi Themba,

    I guess it really depends on what area of this work interests you or if you have an inspirations on where you would see yourself say in 5 years down the line because I suppose the 3 main routes that most people take would be 1. Practise, 2. Industry or 3. Big four e.g. KPMG, PWC and etc.

    Since you have already expressed interest in getting the ACCA qualification after your degree then one thing you should definitely look for is ACCA support in a company that you’re applying for. Not just the perks of having study leave and employee progression programs but what actual help are they willing to provide, e.g. training, study buddies, networking within the company with similar minded people.

    I’ve worked in industry for 4 years now, so I can only make an assumption based on my experience and the country I reside in. A salary with similar experience and part qualified ACCA should give you a salary between mid 20k and low 30k euro range.

    Hope this helps, if you have more questions feel free to ask away

    How To Write A Resume For Accounting And Finance

    If you do not have a profile yet, it is recommended to create one right after graduation. This is the best time to include your summary, academic highlights, your unique skills, professional experience, and personal information. Most accountants and finance teachers like to see their students’ curriculum vitae at the end of their classes or when they send their students for an interview. This may include information about the summary or resume objective. A summary should contain the key elements that you can use to write a strong and impressive resume objective. This is what your academic and professional background shows.

    If you are still unsure of how to write the objective, you may refer to a few sample questions that accountants often ask when recruiting students. The summary is where you can show your strong points and where you can downplay your weaknesses. resumeera will provide you best certified services
