Answer 1 :
It really depends on where you work. Here in the United States, some places are more expensive to live in and so the accounting jobs will pay a higher wage rate. It also depends on if you work for a big company or a small one. Bigger companies tend to pay more. The type of accounting you do also matters. If you are doing bookkeeping versus auditing, the auditing position will pay more. Pay also varies depending on how much experience you have. A person who has worked a few years can expect a higher pay rate than a person just out of school. As for qualifications, it depends on what type of accounting you are asking. For a bookkeeping position, you only need an Associates degree, which is a two-year college degree here in the U.S. If you want to work for an auditing firm, they want a four-year university degree. If you want to move up in the company, you want a four-year degree. An MBA will help and so will a CPA.
Answer 2 :
You need to have at least a BA degree in accounting. The industry is complex enough that you really can't avoid this. Salaries very a great deal depending on where you decide to work, what area you choose, and whether you pass the CPA exam and get your license. You can earn as little as $40k or millions, if you're really competitive and improve your training and education. (Because of efforts to standardize the field of accounting worldwide, this answer is actually good for about 2/3 of the countries in the world. International accounting standards of the IASB are not very different from those of FASB in the United States. Of course, you have to learn the standards used in your own country, and you have to license in your own country, but when you do, you'll have a great deal of understanding that can carry you in other countries as well.)
Answer 3 :
Lots of Yanks around here aren't there. UK (and Oz) you need a Certified/Chartered, or other RQB, qulaification to audit company accounts, but no actual qualification to act for individuals. Check out the ACCA and ICAEW websites, which both have Oz branches.

Answer 1 :
in london, i would guess you would be earning about 25k but that depends on qualificaitons and experience i suppose. why not look at some job search web sites and get a feel of what companies offer as wages. you get better value for money up north, cheaper housing, cheaper goods and services etc, but obviously then wages are a bit less. dont live in central london unless you're really loaded with money, its very expensive for accommodation. i doubt you will be able to live on one income. depending on how experienced you are, you could be earning up to about 70k but that might be after a few years
Answer 2 :
£ 400, 000. would be nice.but dont bother stay where you are. and i mean stay where you are.
Answer 3 :
probably about £35000 until you have proved yourself and then the sky is the limit. Not sure that location matters, people all over the country need accountants. Don't try and start in London, go for places like Reading which is close but housing is much cheaper. If you have a family, you will probably pay £300000 for a reasonable house in the suburbs, moving in to the town will be cheaper but rather restrictive if you go for a Victorian terrace, as they are smaller, tiny garden, and nowhere to park a car.
Answer 4 :
I advise you to check that your Indian qualification does not require 'topping up' or conversion to meet UK standards.
Answer 5 :
The UK is England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland altogether. London is in England.
Answer 6 :
Salaries vary depending on many factors. To find more accurate salary data you can try www.bls.gov, monster.com ,salary.com or PayScale.com. You will find that jobs like these are negotiable when it comes to salary.More information, tips and help at http://moreaboutsalary.blogspot.com/

Answer 1 :
I'm planning on becoming one, I start my degree this year. I think it will be hard but it is very financially rewarding. Money isn't everything but it makes the world go round. How old are you? You should speak to a careers advisor about it. Email me your msn if you want and i will add you to my MSN and keep you updated on what the course is like when i start it. xxx charlie.schmarlie@yahoo.co.uk
Answer 2 :
You are dealing with yesterday's news and someone else's money. It's really boring.
Answer 3 :
In the United States to become a CPA you will need a Masters Degree. Once you have your degree you will have to work for a CPA or a government agency for a year or two. Finally, you will have to pass the CPA exam which is one of, if not the, toughest of the professional exams. While gaining experience expect to get stuck doing routine audit work. It is boring and tedious, but necessary for you to understand. Once you pass your CPA you will start moving into the more interesting aspects of the profession. Analysis, planning, working with client management to minimize taxes, ways to improve the business operations of the clients and consulting. Hope this helps Jerry-the-bookkeeper
Answer 4 :
In the UK there are different types of accountant and different routes to reach them. The usual route to becoming a Chartered Accountant is to have a degree (subject not important - my stepson was a psychology graduate) and apply to one of the big firms like Price Waterhouse for a position. You study for your qualifications while you work for them. There's also ACCA, which is Cost Accountancy and CIMA, which is Cost and Management Accountancy. You can start on your route to either by doing a 2 year part time course for an Accounting Technician qualification and then move on to studying for the professional qualifications. If you pass with distinction it gives you some exemption from the foundation stages of ACCA or CIMA. If you have a related degree, there is some exemption from the foundation stages of ACCA and CIMA. Chartered accountants often specialise in things like tax and other disciplines of accounting. Certified or Cost and Management accountants work on more than just the numbers. They become more involved in what's happening within a business. (I studied for CIMA many years ago and found it a good all round approach to business.) In terms of how hard it is, you need to pass your exams and you need to work for a company that's big enough to have an accountancy department where you're using your learning. Once you're qualified, you can decide where to go - set up your own practice, work as a consultant, there are lots of options. Good luck!

Answer 1 :
Obviously you need to aim for top grades in Maths, BS (business means full of busy - y changes to i) and English, to be accepted for an accountancy course. But you also need to stay on target, for many years, and be accepted for work in an Accounts Office to gain experience. Good luck. Gladgran
