    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

    hey 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 ??

    hey there

    I am from the engineering side of IT so I can advise on that if you wish?
    I basically did tech support. It will take a few years to get good salary in IT
    let me know if you need any more advice?
