Try the ACCA website for information. Some colleges do the ACCA exams but specialist professional tutors get very good results try BPP, Financial Training or Emile Woolf. Good luck.

What is the best course of study if I want to become a self employed accountant to small businesses?

What is the best course of study if I want to become a self employed accountant to small businesses?
I have worked in IT until now implementing and training accounting packages, and although I studied bookkeeping a few years ago in Johannesburg to help with the IT projects, I am not trained as an accountant. I am currently working as a bookkeeper but know I can do more so would like to become an accountant and offer these services to local small to medium businesses. It has been suggested that I take the AAT courses but am concerned this would not be sufficient to become self employed in this field. Any advice in this area would be greatly appreciated.
