Answer 1 :
Let me tell you from experience It is a boring life - you spend it all day in a small office with women who slander and back-stab each other as well as yourself all day They have their stroppy moments which can last days/ weeks and dont say this wont happen cos it happens everywhere - and its headaches after headaches On the work front, well you need a really good memory and ask yourself, are you willing to sit behind a desk all day watching a computer screen
Answer 2 :
In life you got to listen to yourself and know what your passion is. Develop goals and split tasks to achieve them. I started as an accountant then to an internal auditor. As some say personally I found it repetitive and boring but I found internal audit very exciting. I'm now developing a website - http://www.business-competence.com/ from the knowledge I have gathered as both an accountant and internal auditor. So it all lies with you and the choices you make in life.
Answer 3 :
Yes it is hard, but never boring if you enjoy what you're doing. You'll make more as a CPA than as an in-house accountant. Accountants are required in every field, be it a fashion place or a coal mine.

Answer 1 :
They make most of their money by skimming the books.
Answer 2 :
Don't know if this will help but in Cyprus I paid CYP£60 + vat a month, and for what they did £6 would have been too much
Answer 3 :
Accountants won't accept rough payments. I hear it's well paid but tedious work. And it's a profession. You have to study.
Answer 4 :
Totally depends on where you are looking, if you have a background (including a college degree), if you have passed the CPA exam. Good ones are usually don't have a problem finding a job. A friend of mine, in Chicago, got hired in at about $45K per year our of college in 1999, but she was top 10% of the graduating college class. She got her CPA and 7 years later is around $75-80K. This should continue to go up with experience. Chicago is a relatively expensive place to live, so this will vary depending on the market.

Please I need your help, I have applied for my permanent residence with the Home Office and they need proof that my ex-husband was paying taxes. He was a cab driver , so he had an accountant that filed his taxes annually. My ex has refused to provide me with his paylips. PLEASE!! does anyone know how I can get this information from his accountant legally? I would be very grateful if anyone could help. thanks

Answer 1 :
His accountant cannot release this information to you without your ex's permission. However, he can release his tax reference number to the Home Office and they can obtain the information they want from HMRC.
Answer 2 :
The tax authorities can write to your ex-husband's accountant to compel him to submit to it his client's tax particulars.
Answer 3 :
No, it is likely accountant will be acting on the instructions of his client (your ex-husband, who pays him) and he would not release the information without ex-husband's consent. If your ex won't give you the information, it is unlikely his accountant will. Did you obtain any financial evidence by order of the court for your divorce hearing? I think that may be the way to go. I don't know what powers the Home Office have to get the info. It is a different Government department, and I would guess no powers. A solicitor would advise you as to the legal aspect of getting a court order on this. NB. From your post, it sounds as though your husband was self-employed. The employed don't file taxes annually. So there wouldn't be any payslips to show you. What you need is a copy of his self-employed accounts.

Answer 1 :
I haven't had any experience myself but my husband is an accountant. It's a very good starting point, especially for non-graduates and can lead to a decent enough career in itself. If however you want to move onto bigger and better things, you can do Management Accountant courses such as CIMA and ACCA on the back of it.
