    hi,
    I am thinking of sitting for CAT so,I would like to know what career options open up after I am done with ACCA?
    Would I be stuck with a job I don’t like or would I have broad options?

    Any help would be very appreciated.

    I am only part qualified at the moment but already at this early stage it has given me the edge over colleagues and other candidates who are very good at there jobs but just don’t have the qualifications.

    When you qualify there are so many different options Financial Controller, Auditor, Tax Specialist, Investment Specialist, Statutory accounts, Management Accountant. However you don’t just have to stick the accountancy based roles as strange as it sounds. The skills you learn in ACCA will help if you want to be a company director or if you want to run your own company. ACCA is a global recognised qualification which means there will be opportunities to work overseas if you wish. So once qualified there are so many different options, There are probably plenty more that I haven’t even mentioned.

    Not 100% about CAT, Perhaps someone else could talk you through the options on that.

    Not sure on why you have opted for CAT instead of just jumping the ACCA band wagon, will be faster for you.

    As for the jobs after you qualify, ryitfc has mentioned in which fields you canwork, just to add you can also be a tutor or a consultant.

    ACCA has not limits on the jobs market, you just need to qualify and opporunities will be knocking on your door.
