Answer 1 :
People in those professions generally screw over large proportions of the general public; whilst exhibiting a complete lack of scruples in their daily pursuits of greed.
Answer 2 :
Accountancy - Being bored s h i t less out of your entire mind. Moving little numbers on a screen, endless columns on a spreadsheet, trying to get someones private finances in order or working with product distribution for a big company. You will wonder why you studied.
Answer 3 :
I am an accountant so I'll tell you what I do but accountants all have different roles. I pay invoices, input them into the system, prepare monthly P&L reports, do bank reconciliations, answer questions from suppliers on payments and anything else I am told. Each day can be different and I really enjoy the work.

Look at tropical north queensland. Accountants with a few years experience get extra bonus points for skilled immigration to Australia.

Anything north of fraser island is perfect and tropical.

What do i need to do to become a Chartered Certified Accountant?
Well i'm currently in year 11 doing my gcses and planning to take A level Business, Maths, ICT and English Language. After my two years of sixth form and i have acheived 4 As from these subjects would it be a good idea to study a Accountancy course at university while taking the ACCA qualification? Would this be a good way to start my career? if not what would you suggest?

Answer 1 :
You do a degree in Accountancy followed by the ACCA course. Having the degree exempts you from the first few exams in the ACCA. Best way is to get hired by a good Accountancy practice who will put you through those exams while you work - saves a lot of money.

Well if you want to go to a good university you'll have to get good grades - preferably As and Bs. Accounting would be maths/finance related subjects like maths, accounting, economics etc.
Answer 2 :
It depends on the university. Some will have higher standards than others. Go on to some of the university sites that you are interested in and look at their undergraduate degree prospectus online and it should tell you the entry requirements so you will know what to aim for.

How much does an accountant charge per day roughly?
How much does an accountant charge per day roughly?
I am doing some accounts and consultancy work for a company in a sector I have very strong experience and background in. What is a realistic figure I should be charging per day?
Careers & Employment - 2 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Can you see what other accountants have been charging them before? I'm an accountant but not in the UK so my rates are very different from yours.
Answer 2 :
Generally speaking, a consultant charges by the hour or by the job, not by the day. That said, most public accountants bill out their time for $100 + per hour, even higher for more experienced professionals. Whatever you decide on, make sure that you have a written contract with the company you're consulting for, explicitly outlining what job you are being hired to do and what the end product will be. Also, there should be some sort of contingency clause that allows you to exit the job if you can't complete it, and another contingency clause that allows you to make changes to the contract (with client approval) if the scope of the engagement changes during the project. Don't ever underestimate the legal repercussions of entering into a contract with someone. Maybe you could go to Nolo.com for some legal forms. Good luck!

What qualifications do i need to become an accountant?
What qualifications do i need to become an accountant?
Im guessing i will have to go to uni, but what will i need to get me there? I got good GCSE grades but never did my A levels. Although i do have a nvq level2 in business admin & nqv level3 in customer service, also level2 ECDL. I know to get into uni it goes on a point system, will the qualifications i have get me in or will i have to do my A levels? Also, I work with Sage and do the purchase and sales ledger for the company i work for... Is there some way I could train through work instead of going to uni?

Answer 1 :
From the level you are in, get to an accounts school, start from level 1 get CPA 1 , CPA II, upto CPA III Section VI Certificates. After doing those papers you will be in the highest qualified accountant cadre.
Answer 2 :
You can actually go to uni. From what I can see you are a mature student so you could be accepted onto an accountancy degree with your relevant work history.
Answer 3 :
You don't need to go to Uni. You could actually go along the AAT route (Association of Accounting Technicians) like I did. This course is done at college, part time, over 2-3 years. You then get exemptions from your professional exams.(ACA/ACCA/CIMA). Some employers will support you in getting these qualifications (mine does) or you can do it at night class.
Answer 4 :
go to uni and do a 4 year honors degree in accountancy, but this does not mean u will be a qualified accountant. my boyfriend has an honours degree in accountancy but he said he had to do a further qualification to be quailified x
Answer 5 :
There are two ways to become an accountant either though training or though an accounts degree. Your first step would be to do an accountant techcians course such as CAT. Then you can either do a degree and be a qualified but not a chartered accountant or do the ACCA or CIMA. i have finished the irish version of the accounting technicans course and it took me 2 years to complete the exams and i am currently working my way towards the required 2 years work experience before i can become a member. The techicans exams allow you to skip the first year of any accountancy degree and the professional exams. Definately worth doing. Try these websites for more information: http://www.acca.co.uk/ www.cimaglobal.com/ www.iati.ie Hope you find what you are looking for. xx
