General ACCACareer change

FFiras13y ago
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 ??
