When i get my accounting degree in the UK can i use it to emigrate to Canada and train there to get chartered?
Or would i have to become chartered here and then emmigrate and retrain to learn their laws etc? Are accountants in demand in Canada? Also should add i am learning French and hope to do a placement year in France to become fluent.

Answer 1 :
Quebec speaks French. Why not try Canada first. Do the research on whether you would need to retrain or not.
Answer 2 :
It is easier to emigrate from France to Ontario and excellent French is never ignored by French-Canadians. Otherwise, put paid to any better expectations.
Answer 3 :
The Canadian equivalent of the Chartered Association of Accountants would obviously be the ones with the definitive answers. I am sure they have a website. Learning another language is always a good idea, especially if you intend going to the French region of Canada. Are accountants in demand in canada? a good accountant is in demand anywhere. I wish you every success.
Answer 4 :

Answer 5 :

How to become an Accountant without taking a degree?
How to become an Accountant without taking a degree?
Hi, I would like to train to become an Accountant due to the career prospects and the rewarding salary. I am currently 22 yrs old and have 9 GCSE'S and 3 A'levels. All C's and above. Also I have certificate of higher education for completing a year at university. I was not very proficient at maths but I am currently taking a course to improve myself, which is going very well. Ideally I do not want to go back to University again as after my first experience I feel they are a waste of time and money. So my question is, how can I become a top Accountant without studying at University? I am a very dedicated person when I put my mind to it and this is something that I know I can excel and progress at. How long can the training take and which routes do I need to go down? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. David What sort of costs for the courses can I expect?

Answer 1 :
The best route to go is the ACCA. You can study at night while working. There are 14 exams in total and most people do 2 per exam sitting and there are 2 sittings per year (June and December). This means you would take about 3-4 years of night classes to finish but in order to qualify you need 3 years work signed off by an accountant so it is fine. I followed this route and I have 1 exam left. It took me 5 years to get to here because I work long hours so I could only do 1 exam in most sittings but if you are prepared to work hard and study at night this is the way for you to go. Go onto their website and have a look. Most colleges to night classes of the ACCA and it is the best qualification for an accountant without doubt
Answer 2 :
Try to get a job at a company that will 'sponsor' you to do this ... otherwise it WILL be expensive ... (Google ACCA correspondence courses) PS be aware that with graduate unemployment rates what they are today, you will find it VERY HARD to get a job with a suitable company without a Degree - most major / international companies offer 'Graduate Training Schemes' that will be closed to you - you will have to focus on the smaller companies that do not offer such structured schemes - and this is where the 'contacts' you could make at University would help ..)
Answer 3 :
Have you considered doing the AAT course? Some people I know chose not to go to university but completed the AAT and went on to do CIMA / ACCA. I would look at the course providers such as Kaplan and go through recruitment agencies, see if they know of any companies that will sponsor you! Good luck!

Answer 1 :
You have to take courses and get certified, sorry. Accounting is not a subject that one can really teach oneself. You need feedback on how well you understand the concepts, i.e. you need to take tests and see where and if you are going wrong. -------------- I actually never got a degree in Accounting, but I have taken many, many classes in it and I understand the concepts in the field. I've been working in the field for 20+ years now. I do bookkeeping for small businesses from my home at $50 USD per hour. There has never been a problem with the books I produce. (I can do it in my sleep basically). But every once in awhile, I come across a 'stumper' transaction. Luckily, I know a CPA who always can give me the correct way to enter the transaction.

Am I the only one sick and tired with security lies?
Am I the only one sick and tired with security lies?
I just heard on the BBC that the new scanners in airports will be used on everyone. They will be used "by highly trained professionals". So which kind of professionals? Doctors, lawyers, accountants, teachers? Why do they keep telling lies? Airport security is important to me. Until they start serious profiling and ditch political correctness, we are all at risk.
Health & Safety - 7 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Translation of "highly trained individuals" is immigrants paid the minimum wage!
Answer 2 :
I hate the new scanners, I think its pretty sick that for example teenage girls are going to have to go through them and basically be seen naked by those "professional" men. I agree that they have crossed the line between security and invasion of privacy.
Answer 3 :
No you're not. Now we've all got to be seen naked before we can go on holiday. Sorry but I don't want my wife being gawped at by some ape in a uniform. Apparently one of these devices things wouldn't have prevented the last incident anyway, and what ever they can do, the bombers will find a way of defeating it. We've just lost another civil liberty in the name of 'security' – another own goal to the terrorists whose aim is to disrupt our daily lives. The only winner here is the companies who are set to make millions out of them. Apparently it's illegal under human rights laws – so why are they doing it?
Answer 4 :
Probably not.
Answer 5 :
I'm not particularly bothered myself. It will undoubtedly be the highlight of anyone's working day to see an approximated unclothed image of me. My line of work means I occasionally have to strip search people, which is by no means pleasant for the person concerned but if you think I get up in the morning looking forward to the possibility of having to do a strip search you've got another thing coming. I imagine it will be an identical situation for the people that view the scanner images and having to do it day in day out looking at hundreds maybe thousands of images, you forget you are looking at an image of a person and are just viewing the screen for a matter of seconds for the presence of security risk items.
Answer 6 :
Blame the terrorists who want to blow up airplanes. Profiling does not guarantee every single terrorist is caught, and terrorists can trick innocent people into carrying on explosives for them. The bad guys only need to succeed once to create worldwide havoc, and we need to succeed in every single security check.
Answer 7 :
I agree with ditching the politcal correctness, but not with the profiling... its assuming that everyone of a 'type' is going to be a 'bad guy' which is total bunk. My poor dad gets hassled occasionally because he's a naturalized citizen of Canada, born in China, and looks middle eastern (he's russian). Its not his fault, and he doesn't deserve to get the bad treatment every time he crosses a border... i mean, the guy amuses himself with puttering in the garden and planning cruises. What danger is he? As for the scanners, i'd imagine that they get pretty bored with seeing everyone's underside. While i don't want someone else looking at me unclothed, i'm viewing it with the same annoyance as some of the necessary but annoying physician visits. My doctor has probably seen tens of thousands of women's breasts in a clinical setting and mine, although its kind of strange for me, are just another pair... no more titillating or exciting that the other 9,999 pairs.

Answer 2 :
Go to the library or buy a book on accounting. Lock yourself in your room for a month (not literally) and learn as much as you can and become a pro. Then you will see if you can and you'll will find school is easier since you already learned on your own. Get an internship at a company and bam...u are all set.

Junior Accountant HELP!?
So here's the story...my dad knows this guy who runs a big business and asked if there was any jobs going, I went for a little interview today and they gave me the job on the spot, (junior accountant) as they desperately need someone to help and I start a week on Monday...I have no experience within this field and feel that I will not pick the duties I should be carrying out as quick as they wold like me to, I also have a 3 month trial and really would like to keep the job after as I need the money as well, but I feel like I should revise or do a practise run, so I'm just wondering if there is anything I can practise working on maybe revise something, so I have a little bit of knowledge about accounting and bookkeeping, profit loss statements and what the spreadsheets look like etc :) ?? x

Well they liked you enough to employ you. So calm down and go with the flow and see what happens on Monday. It is a vague title and may well be a trainee position and they may well fund some courses and train you up with the required skills. It is possible to become an accountant from an in house position, but it could be a glorified name for a bookkeeper of some doing the wages. Just be yourself on Monday and see how it pans out. Dress smart for the working environment, make sure you are immaculate on the first day and this will make you feel more business like and remember that everyone had to start some where!

Hi there, today's society is too work oriented and people stupidly define themselves by their jobtitle. In life we take on many jobs and our life progresses, as we grow we also see life differently and may want a career change. When this happens, you don't change being you, it is just your job which changes. According to society's view, if you change career you must become a different person. Rubbish!! Life pans out differently for each of us and the reason you see yourself as boring is because you are comparing your life/career with other people's. You can't do that. What made you happy about your choices in life before gave you confidence and happiness. Just because you have been doing the same job for some time and it has become tedious doesn't mean you are boring and tedious- you are not your job. Everyone is different which is why you can't compare yourself with anyone else- there are no similarities in things which are different. The beauty of this is, is that as people are different they all like different things and you will find lots of people sharing the same interests as they overlap and living a similarish lifestyle. If that is so then there is definitely someone compatible for you that you can marry and be very happy with (as they will be with you) as some people like dull, some like bad behaved etc etc. Horses for courses is the idiom here.

If that is so then there is definitely someone compatible for you that you can marry and be very happy with (as they will be with you) as some people like dull, some like bad behaved etc etc. Horses for courses is the idiom here.

Should i be paying taxes being a non US citizen ? Paying 30% of my skillgames winnings to the IRS .?
Should i be paying taxes being a non US citizen ? Paying 30% of my skillgames winnings to the IRS .? Hi , got a prob here . I play skillgames , such as Zuma and Dynomite , for cash , at Worldwinner . I'm fairly successfull , i make a profit . Problem is that the IRS are taking 30% of my winnings off of me . I am of Scottish nationality , UK citizen . Also they don't take my net losses into consideration , taking 30% of my winnings without taking into account that i've just lost $30 playing another game. Am i due a full return of all taxes paid ? It advises to consult an accountant to decide whether my net losses should be taking into consideration . A cyber friend of mine at the site has paid 10k in taxes in the last 6 months , he's Swedish . What's the script then ?

Answer 1 :
What ever be the way you earn money, be it through salary or business or gabling, if you make money beyond a certain limit you come under tax bracket. You have to pay tax in the country you earn it, not where you have your citizenship.
Answer 2 :
Since you are a non-resident alien under US tax law, those winnings are subject to a 30% levy at the source. Unfortunately you are not entitled to offset your winnings with any losses. This type of earnings does not require the filing of an income tax return and even if you filed one it would not affect your liability. That income is subject to taxation at the source and would not be included on a tax return even if you filed one for other taxable income. It would be different if you were a US resident or citizen.
Answer 3 :
You can write checks for the money you play with and then deduct those amounts (have copies of the checks made by your bank) from your winnings. People who win money on game shows have to pay taxes...why shouldn't you? Taxes are what helps you enjoy this country and you should be paying your fair share.
Answer 4 :
The U.S. (most of the counties of the world) collects taxes on the income of non citizens or non residents from the U.S. sources. If you can somehow file the U.S. income tax return, then on the return you can deduct your winnings losses. I don't that there is a why that you can file 1040NR (non residernt return). Check at www.irs.gov

Answer 1 :
Yes, starting from the month you went over the threshold! VAT threshold is 64k so the first month you earned more than £5333 is hypothetically when you should start paying. Good news is you can claim back for upto 3 years on anything you still have on stock!
Answer 2 :
Double check the figures on which your new accountants have based your turnover if you're in doubt. It's not a big job just to look a list of invoices for the year - they should be able to let you have this without difficulty. I think you have two choices: 1. register for VAT (and remember your customers can reclaim VAT if they are themselves registered for VAT). Given your turnover, you're eligible to register for something called flat rate VAT (makes keeping records very simple indeed and can be to your advantage - see HMRC website for more info: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/bimmanual/bim31585.htm or ask your accountants) or 2. keep a handle on your own turnover and make sure you stay just below the VAT registration threshold each year, which is presumably a better option than pricing yourself out of the market. Speak to the Revenue (who are much more pragmatic these days) about your temporary journey over the VAT threshold and you may find you don't need to go through the process of registering and deregistering... Good luck!
Answer 3 :
Have you introduced any money into your business? they may have mistreated this as sales not capital introduced. I would double check their workings they may have counted things twice in error but if your records are good I can't see how.
Answer 4 :
If they've just done your books, I assume for the tax year 2006/07, then your year ended before 05/04/07 so it's ten months since you should have registered. This could be very expensive as you are liable to pay VAT on your turnover since you should have registered. Guessing at £75k turnover means you owe £11000 in VAT, which you probably can't charge to your customers.(Less input tax) Ask them to check your turnover again for Capital Introduced, Motor Vehicle sales, or other items which aren't sales.
Answer 5 :
If this a one off spike in turnover you can ask customs to be relieved from registering as your turnover will decline in future

An accountant provided an estimate for tax returns for £500 final invoice has come to £1129?
I got a quote from an ICAEW member accountant who quoted maximum of £500 to do tax return works, the final bill had come to £855.40 the invoice was settled, months down the line I have received an additional invoice relating to the tax work making a total of £1129. I was not at any point made by the firm aware that it would almost double I paid the £855 in order to maintain relations, but this has now come to the point where I don't know what the final invoice will be I have contacted the firm but they are not interested in reasoning the additional costs. Please help any ideas where i stand with the law? I have contacted ICAEW and hope that they can assist but in the past it seems they favour their members who keep their boat afloat.

Answer 1 :
just pay it and find a new accountant if this one can't be trusted, if you don't agree with the additional work they have charged you for then write to them and explain you won't be paying it as they can't justify the work.
Answer 2 :
This is one of the reasons why my firm operates a fixed fee policy so both of us know exactly where we stand. It is, regrettably not uncommon with firms that charge on an hourly basis. You may have some luck with the ICAEW - one of my clients took his previous accountants to the Institute and won some redress - if your case is clear the Institute can be helpful. ICAEW member firms are, strangely, the ones my firm tends to have the most problems with for some reason. Shouldn't be the case but it is. (I only employ members of the other accountancy bodies for that reason).
Answer 3 :
The quote of £500 was ex VAT, the figure of £855.40 is £728 plus VAT, not a huge difference. Query the additional charge. If they won't explain why there is a further charge tell them to sue you for the balance and explain that you will ask them to justify the fee, in detail, in court.

Can I become a chartered accountant by taking this route?
Can I become a chartered accountant? I’m currently in college and study in London and I was wondering how hard it ’ll be for me to become a chartered accountant. I achieved an A in maths at secondary school and good grades with English just enough for me to get into college. However in college I decided not to study Maths but take Economics, English and Accounting. My grades weren ’t good for my first year (with my social life I messed up big time) but I ’ve stepped it up in the second with retakes. At University, I want to study a foundation degree in accounting first then when I ’ve completed that I’ll be able to get a proper degree at London South bank University. After that with a bit of experience, do you think I can achieve my goal of becoming a chartered accountant by taking the longer route of a foundation degree? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1 :
Every profession on the planet earth has additional credentialling requirements beyond the college degree. For example, you can finish law school, but you're not a lawyer until you pass the bar exam. You can finish medical school, but you're not a doctor until you pass the medical licensing exam. Likewise, for accountants, there are accountants without credentials, and accountants with credentials --"Chartered Accountants". Look up your own country's (or province's) requirements. Fulfill the requirements, and you'll be a happy accountant.
Answer 2 :
To become a fully qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA) you typically work for a large firm of auditors who run a training scheme. It takes about 3 years for you to become fully qualified but the big firms will kick you out if you fail too many exams. Big firms will give you time of to study and take exams and also pay for exam and course fees. I have not checked recently but I guess a starting salary for a graduate trainee in a big firm would be £ 20,000 to 23,000. Competition is stiff to get on the big firms training schemes and you need a good degree from a good university. See: http://www.icaew.com/index.cfm/route/158423/icaew_ga/en/Home/Institute_of_Chartered_Accountants_in_England_and_Wales If you fail to get on an ACA training scheme with a big firm you may be able to get on one on a smaller firm. Failing that you can work for a smaller firm and take the Certified accoutants exams (ACCA). Starting salaries will be less probably £ 15,000 to £ 18,000. See: http://www.accaglobal.com/publicinterest/about/ A better alternative these days is a Chartered Management accountancy training scheme in business. The advantage of this is that by the end of your 3 years you will have those 3 years experience in business so you are better equiped to work in business than an ACA who has spent the 3 years in an audit firm. Also the CIMA sylabus and training is regarded as more relevant for a job in business. You will not get time of to study on a CIMA training course but you will get time of for exams. Your employer may or may not pay your course fees. Starting salaries on a CIMA training course are probably a bit lower than ACA starter in a big professional firm - say around £ 18,000 but it will vary quite a bit. See: http://www.cimaglobal.com/cps/rde/xchg/live/root.xsl/index.htm Remember that competition is intense at the moment for all these training schemes.

Accountant and farmer?
Accountant and farmer?
A man walking along a road in the countryside comes across a shepherd and a huge flock of sheep. Stopping to rest, he tells the shepherd, "I will bet you $100 against one of your sheep that I can tell you the exact number in this flock." The shepherd thinks it over. It's a big flock, so he takes the bet. The man looks around and answers, "869." The shepherd is astonished, because that is exactly right. The shepherd says, "Okay, I'm a man of my word, take an animal." The man picks one up and begins to walk away. "Wait," cries the shepherd, "let me have a chance to get even. Double or nothing that I can guess your exact occupation." The man agrees. "You are an accountant for the government," says the shepherd. "Amazing!" responds the man. "You are exactly right! But tell me, how did you deduce that?" "Well," says the shepherd, "put down my dog and I will tell you."

My (now) former accountant is withholding money that is due back to the Inland Revenue on my tax statement. This is money that was issued as repayment initially but now after an amended return needs to be repaid. He was acting has my tax agent at the time and this repayment went directly to him. He has made half-hearted response in emails stating that he will make the payment son but nearly 23 months have passed, so he has for all practical purposes ignored requests to forward the money directly to the Inland Revenue or to myself so that I can pay them. What are my options for help in recovering this money? Thanks for the replies. To clarify,yes, the accountant has already been paid in full. How woudl I find out what professional association he is affiliated with? Thanks for the replies. To clarify,yes, the accountant has already been paid in full.

Small claims court - the forms are online.
Answer 2 :
Report him to his professional association.
Answer 3 :
Having come across similar situations professionally, I have to ask if you owe your accountant any money for his services? Accountants like to get your repayment because they are then sure of getting paid. Revenue staff think this is a sneaky way for accountants to behave, but it does happen. If it is the case, any repayment made to accountant will be kept by him as long as repayment wasn't in excess of his bill, Taking him to small claims court, or reporting him to his professional body wouldn't be upheld in those circumstances, and you will have to find the money to repay HMRC yourself. If this isn't the case, I hope you have kept the e-mails, or at least copies, so that they can support any further action you take, whether small claims court, or reporting him to his professional body.

Can I become a chartered accountant?
Can I become a chartered accountant?
Can I become a chartered accountant? I’m currently in college and study in London and I was wondering how hard it ’ll be for me to become a chartered accountant. I achieved an A in maths at secondary school and good grades with English just enough for me to get into college. However in college I decided not to study Maths but take Economics, English and Accounting. My grades weren’t good for my first year (with my social life I messed up big time) but I ’ve stepped it up in the second with retakes. At University, I want to study a foundation degree in accounting first then when I ’ve completed that I’ll be able to get a proper degree at London South bank University. After that with a bit of experience, do you think I can achieve my goal of becoming a chartered accountant by taking the longer route of a foundation degree? Thanks in advance.

Can an accountant help my taxes?
Can an accountant help my taxes?
Basically, I want to start a business, but I want to make it as easy as possible. If I put aside 20% of my profits for the past year, plus 20% for the next year towards taxes, I should have enough to cover all taxes unless the business does really well, in which case it won't be a problem. What I want to know is this: If I save all my receipts, invoices etc etc, and give them all to an accountant at the end of my tax year, will they be able to sort everything out for me and tell me when to pay and how much? Basically I just want somebody to tell me how much and when to pay, then I can get what is needed out of a seperate bank account which will hold the money I put aside. Is this the way it works? Is it a good system? Usually I would insist on trying to figure all this out myself, but on this occation I must admit defeat. Just too complicated. If I could make a one-off payment once a year that would suit me fiiiiiiine. Please help. Thanks. Also, how much does a good accountant cost and how long would it usually take for them to sort out a full years papers for me?

Answer 1 :
Yes, you do need to keep all yur invoices and receipts. If you just handed that lot to an accountant, s/he could sort it all out for you, but it would cost more than if you did your own book keeping. Simple accounts with all the book keeping done, banks reconciled and so on would be about £400, but accounts where the accountant has to do all the work could be double. How will you know how well the business is doing unless yu keep records and produce management accounts on a regular basis?
Answer 2 :
An accountant is likely to save you more money than he costs, at least to start with. He will also prevent you making expensive mistakes resulting in Revenue financial penalties Don't forget self-employed people also have to pay NIC both Class 2 (weekly) and Class 4 (depending on profit levels). Look at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates . You can make payments when you like, as long as it is in advance. Late payments attract a commercial rate of interest.

Is my accountant responsible?
Is my accountant responsible?
I am a truck driver. When I started working as such, I had to incorporate as this is what most transport companies ask their truck drivers to do. This way I worked as a self employed truck driver providing transport services. Lately I had an audit from Revenu Quebec and I was told that I was not an "active business" but a "personal services business" which placed my company in a different position. For the 4 audited years Revenu Quebec did not accept about 30 000$ expenses of my company. Now, for this amount of 30 000 not accepted, I have to pay 28 000 $ in taxes (together with the interest and the penalties). When I incorporated and during the years I worked as a truck driver I had no idea that there was a difference between "active business" and "personal services business". I hired an accountant to do my bookkeeping. I suppose he had to know how to do my tax filing legally and he had to make the difference between the business types and do my taxes accordingly. I did not hide a penny and declared ALL my incomes. The problem comes from the differentiation between businesses. I know that I am the only one responsible for my taxes. My question is : What is the responsibility of the accountant in a case like this? Thank you.

The accountant may well have a responsibility for the penalty and interest you are required to pay. You may wish to sue him for the entire amount hoping that his errors and omissions insurance may cover both the tax and the penalties.

How to become an Accountant (UK)?
Hello, I wish to become an accountant and are to study a degree in Accountancy. What would I need to do after this and how do you decide if you're a management or financial accountant, e.g. do you need to target specific accountancy bodies such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA etc? And how do you secure training, do you have to find employment in a specific role before you enquire about training for a professional qualification like ACCA? What I mean is do I need to get a job as an accountant to do this? Thank you

Answer 1 :
get an accounting degree...
Answer 2 :
The best thing to do is apply for an apprenticship at a local accounting firm. You will get time off for training and of course on the job training. It is pretty minimum wage stuff though. Alternatively you could find a better paying job and then take the AAT courses at night. They will take 3 years but give you an internationally recognised qualification that you can probably find a better paid job with training at an accountants. You need to do ACCA/ACA as CIMA is just for Management Accountants and does not make you a Chartered or Certified Accountant.
Answer 3 :
well with your degree in accounting, you have modules that are exempt so you don't have to study for it in your final qualifcation since there's no point doing the same thing twice. You are a financial accountant if you can understand and fully appreciate the debate fo 'true and fair view' and all the legal stuff. You are a management accountant if you enjoy helping the company make the most profit as possible. You secure training by geting employed with an accounting firm (be it a major firm or a local firm) or an employer who hires accountants in their business e.g. NHS. Depending who you will choose, you will get the type of qualification chosen for you (you don't get to choose which qualification you take once you are employed). Ideally you will have at least 3 Bs at A level or equivallent (prefably As) ACA offers a higher signal than an ACCA. ACA is for financial accountants. ACA is limited to the UK, whereas ACCA allows you to be recognised abroad. CIMA is for management accountants. Hope this helps

'Chartered Accountant'?
'Chartered Accountant'?
Hi, I am an accounting student, with the goal of becoming an Accountant in the near future. I have read many company annual reports, and on the description of the Finance Management, it normally states that they are a chartered accountant. Now, does this mean that they have the ACA qualification? Or does the word 'chartered' in this case just mean they have any professional accounting qualification, for example, have the CIMA qualification. My ambition is to become a Financial Director in the Future, I am just unsure which professional accounting qualification to work towards to achieve this. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Sam Thanks everyone!

People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
To be a Chartered Accountant you need to do ACA (Or ACCA) The CIMA qualification is purely Management Accounts ans does not mean you are an accountant.
Answer 2 :
A chartered accountant is a specific title. It is comparable to a certified public accountant in the US. I am an Certified Public Accountant and in order to receive my license, I had to have a certain amount of experience under the supervision of a CPA and had to pass a test covering, accounting theory, auditing, accounting practice and business law. To maintain my license, I have to complete 120 hours of continuing professional education every three years with no less than 20 in any one year. The requirements for becoming a Chartered Accountant would probably be similar.
Answer 3 :
im just wondered about the same q
Answer 4 :
It means they are an ACA. That's the qualification that you should be working towards. Finish your degree and sign up for a training contract with the biggest accountancy firm you can find, preferably in London because there you will be working on better clients and have more opportunities.

Hi Both are fully qualified chartered accountants - ACA with the Institute of Chartered Accountants and ACCA with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. Both are allowed to qualify as registered auditors, and both provide services to companies and the general public. Details of ACA salary levels can be found at http://www.icaew.com/index.cfm?route=158499 Details of ACCA salary levels can be found at http://www.accaglobal.com/uk/students/careers/surveys/ and http://www.accaglobal.com/allnews/national/ireland/salaryguide2007 They have different syllabuses and exam structures. There is not really enough space here to go into the detail but if you visit the websites (links below) you will find them helpful. I run a small accountancy firm (10 employees) and for my clients I have tended to find that the ACCA qualification equips my staff the best for the support we have to give. My clients tend to be small and medium sized businesses (turnover up to a few million pounds). I personally trained originally through the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales - you will note I tend to employ members of the other body. That may or may not tell you something. In my view (and it may only be my view) I tend to find that the ACCA qualification is more commercially focussed.

my new employer requested a letter from my dads accountant which I provided them with, the accountant is a relative of our family and we share a surname. the employer rang today to say this may not be satisfactory and now i am all worried as this employment was legit and above board but the new employer is treating me as if it is not and i really need this job!

Answer 1 :
If you were legally employed i.e. paying national insurance and tax etc and your employer (your family) were paying what they were legally obliged to pay i.e their share of you national insurance etc then there should not be a problem. You should have a P45 and yearly copies of a P60 provided by your employer these show details of your employment and you tax status. If you don't have these and were never given them it is possible that you were not legally employed.If this is the case you will not have a check-able work history and your new prospective employer could regard you as never being employed. You need to find out the status of you employment with the family because if it was not a legal employment your family and you could find yourself liable for a sizable tax liability, also if national insurance was not paid this would effect your state pension rights.

pissed off accountant?
pissed off accountant?
i have worked in accountancy practice for 8 years and have gained AAT and 75% of ACCA during this time on top of A levels. I started on £80 a week and while my mates were earning much more doing manual jobs I kept telling myself that one day I would be earning a fortune. this however seems to be untrue as all this experience later I am still on crap pay and at 26 am still working my nuts off to pass exams when most people i know stopped doing exams when they were 16! job searches for people like me reveal that pay elsewhere isnt much better and qualified accountants dont earn megabucks. if i could go back i never would have become an accountant knowing what i do now. just wondering if any other "student" accountants feel like this?

Answer 1 :
Oh yes, I quitted accountancy about three years ago.Payment was s**t .Now I have another job which has nothing to do with it,and earn more money,have less problems and don´t need to study anymore.Up to you!
Answer 2 :
Good evening, firstly there is no need to swear really, a proffessional accountant wouldnt be. From what I know about this occupation it does earn high income, however it does depend on what type you are. Chartered tend to earn more, people are seeking for people who can use Sage and the other leading finance systems. You should contact some local accountacy firms and ask about any vacancies available, and more importantly the salaries. Then, Step 2, if you get a higher wage, tell your current employer and they should either offer to pay the same, or more. It is a good idea to not concentrate on one or two particular companies, but to actually try up to five.
Answer 3 :
Until i became a parent I worked 12 years in accountancy...unqaulified....and i was paid loads. Reason for the good pay was (i think)because i managed to get into a local private practice....is that something you should consider?
Answer 4 :
An accountancy qualification and relevant experience can be a passport to higher jobs. For example you could eventually become the chief finance officer of a major corporation, then you would be earning megabucks. I once knew a young accountant who had worked for the civil service. He joined a small company as an accountant and soon became its finance director. He then left to become the managing director of a larger company. A very ambitious young man who knew what he wanted and went after it.

People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Financial ad visor more money allot more stress. It is also a mans industry but very slowly changing. Accountant good money less stress 8 months of the yr I say accountant
Answer 2 :
Accountant. Because you can be a Financial Advisor anyway if you're a qualified accountant. Define fun. Unless you like numbers, neither of them are exactly fun.
Answer 3 :
I'm a chartered accountant. It's not fun, but it's a "meal ticket for life" - that's what a tutor told us when we were working towards the qualification.
Answer 4 :
The role of the Accountant is to maintain the transaction connected with income and expenditure, assets and liabilities. Whereas the Financial Advisor takes care of the financial budget of the various sections of the organization and periodically monitoring the same for the adverse and favorable financial position. Both are important for the organization. Selecting the career depends on qualification and experience.
Answer 5 :
Im an accountant. The aat qualification isnt fun learning, but is very worthwhile.. Three years of very hard graft though. Good luck whichever you choose :)

Answer 1 :
I don't think they get an hourly rate in general, but an annual salary. It's different for each discipline of each profession and also depends on where you are working.
Answer 2 :
That would depend on the profession and the level at which you are at! You will be making a bloody long list there! Plus, most work within salary brackets rather than an hourly rate as they don't tend to clock in and out like manual workers.
Answer 3 :
GPs in Scotland earn anywhere between £30 to £75 an hour, depending on practice and hours worked. Some earn a bit more. According to the latest survey by the RIBA, architects with 6 years post-qualification experience on average earn £18 an hour. Measely. Think about it; 18 quid after 7 years training and 6 years professional experience. But this is assuming an average 8 hour day. Architects hardly ever work less than 10 hour days so it's reality even worse. Also, this depends on location. London offers the best pay, and Scotland in general the worst. Edinburgh's the worst of both worlds with Scotland level pay at one of the most expensive cities to live in in the UK.
Answer 4 :
iam a builder iam on £10.50 hour when i was a landscaper it was £7.80 hour my misses is a home carer for the elderly she £6.50 plus mileage a hour i hope this helps abit
Answer 5 :
It's not quite what you're after, but a RAF aircraft engineer earns varying ammounts, but after 3 years, you're on about 21 grand a year, and after about 5, you're on 22 1/2 grand a year, as a professional Aircraft Technician. You get paid by the day, I'm currently on about £60 odd a day, but that is 365 days a year, regardless of what you're doing.
Answer 6 :
you can find average base earnings and bonuses for almost all professions at http://www.salary.com/ you can search by city / region and job title.
Answer 7 :
Daily rate for consultants is £300 to £1000+. Of course it depends on experience level, the role and the job time-frame.
Answer 8 :
I'm a qualified accountant and I charge between £15 and £20 an hour for book-keeping work and £45 upwards an hour for consultancy work.
Answer 9 :
As most have already mentioned, professionals get an annual salary instead of hourly rate. However, if you assume 50 work weeks and 40 hr/week then here are some values: Management Consultant (6 yrs experienced): $45/hour Engineer (6 yrs experience): $40/hour Software Developer (6 yrs exp): $40/hour This is based on a salaried full time employee with tons of other benefits like life insurance/ health / accident Or dismemberment insurance/ vision / 401k etc. IF you are a professional that's doing contract jobs where you just get pure hourly rate and no benefits then these numbers would be much higher: Consulting could be $80 to $250 depending on how good you are and rare your skills are. Same for engineers or software developers who are just doing contract work theirs would be much higher than full time employees. Around $60 to $80 an hour. *all are in USD
Answer 10 :
I run a communications company and we pay our freelance designers and writers £15 an hour. Pharmacists get at least £25 an hour (my sister in law used to locum as a pharma). Lawyers get anything up to £250 per hour.
Answer 11 :
It differs from one profession to the other, then also differs from one country to the other, and lastly also differs from one industry to another. In South Africa for example on of the highest paid professions is a Chartered Accountant. I pay the CA that does the books of the body corporate (co-op) where I stay ZAR 350 per hour. A CA dealing with some banking issues can charge up to ZAR 3500, and CA's dealing with international transactions will charge international rates.

I am thinking about doing an accountancy and bookkeeping course, but i'm not sure which one, there are courses that offer diplomas and there are courses that offer certificates.

I did an 2 year business and finance diploma. If I stopped after one year I'd have a certificate, but I completed the whole course and got the diploma. This allowed me to get some exemptions from the professional exams I am currently undertaking - which is CIMA, certified management accountant. There is a huge difference between all levels. Do you want to become a self employed accountant? if so you be better off going for the full qualification. Try ACCA , CIMA, or ACA. This will also assist you if you want to be an accountant within a company. if, however, you want to be an accounts assistant then go for the accounting technician course. Its a struggle, for me anyway.
Answer 2 :
The choices are to go for ACA and ACCA that focusses on financial accountancy. CIMA is specialised in management accountancy which is focussed on working the company. To be a self employed person, you should either go for ACA or ACCA qualification.

Answer 7 :
The Share Centre produce a number of free guides: http://www.share.com/webp/freeguides.htm
Answer 8 :
When asking Western school children about the significance of Waterloo, the answer will be something along the lines of ‘the decisive battle between Napoleon and an English lead European coalition’. In fact, the future of the European continent was perceived to depend upon the battle of Waterloo. If Napoleon won, France would have been confirmed as the undisputed master of Europe. If Napoleon was beaten, England would have become the leading power in Europe and greatly expand its sphere of influence. What Western school children are not taught - for obvious reasons - is the much bigger story behind the official narrative, the story of one of the biggest frauds in human history. Nathan Rothschild, the head of the English branch of the Rothschild crime family, took advantage of his advance knowledge of the outcome of the battle by tricking the London Stock Exchange into believing that Napoleon had won. The resulting crash of the Exchange enabled Nathan Rothschild’s agents to buy the entire London stock market for a Penny in the Pound and seize control of the Bank of England. This shameless fraud was ruthlessly repeated in 1929. The private owners of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Rothschild subsidiaries J.P. Morgan, City Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank were awash with money earned by financing World War I. Using their market power, Rothschild’s agents first engineered an artificial boom in the stock market, tricking smaller banks and private investors into putting huge amounts of money into the stock market and then deliberately crashed it, enabling the Rothschild agents to buy most of the U.S. stock market. The ripple effect of the New York crash also enabled Rothschild agents in other countries, such as Germany, to buy local corporations at a fraction of their actual value. Eighty years later, it looks like our ruling psychopaths are at it again. They are systematically destroying trust in the U.S. dollar, causing holders of large amounts of green bags to sell them. At the same time, the Rothschild’s are preventing the European Central Bank from printing sufficient Euros for U.S. Dollar owners to exchange all of their holdings into Euros. That way Dollar owners are forced to buy gold instead, causing the gold price to explode. Simultaneously, the Rothschild’s are using their influence on the media sector to spread rumours of an imminent crash of the U.S. Dollar and international stock markets. As per usual, in the day and age of infowar, those rumours first started in the alternative Internet based media, only to spread into the mainstream business media. Last week’s ‘global stock and credit market warning’ of the Rothschild owned Royal Bank of Scotland means that the next Waterloo must be imminent. All it takes is a trigger such as a thwarted Israeli attack on Iran or the blocking of the Persian Gulf for oil transports, followed by a major stock sell-off by Rothschild agents. Once the world’s stock and credit markets have completely crashed, the price of an ounce of gold will be in the thousands, enabling the Rothschild’s and other owners of large gold holdings to buy the market for a fraction of their true value. Most of the population are not aware of the Federal Reserve Scams. Do you know who owns the Federal Reserve Bank? Private business men who include the Morgan’s, Rothschild’s and the Rockefeller family. What they do is print money out of thin air, as much as they like and it’s not regulated!!! They lend money to the government in large interest rates so that the Government is in debt to them. So they control the world economy.

Answer 8 :
When asking Western school children about the significance of Waterloo, the answer will be something along the lines of ‘the decisive battle between Napoleon and an English lead European coalition’. In fact, the future of the European continent was perceived to depend upon the battle of Waterloo. If Napoleon won, France would have been confirmed as the undisputed master of Europe. If Napoleon was beaten, England would have become the leading power in Europe and greatly expand its sphere of influence. What Western school children are not taught - for obvious reasons - is the much bigger story behind the official narrative, the story of one of the biggest frauds in human history. Nathan Rothschild, the head of the English branch of the Rothschild crime family, took advantage of his advance knowledge of the outcome of the battle by tricking the London Stock Exchange into believing that Napoleon had won. The resulting crash of the Exchange enabled Nathan Rothschild’s agents to buy the entire London stock market for a Penny in the Pound and seize control of the Bank of England. This shameless fraud was ruthlessly repeated in 1929. The private owners of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Rothschild subsidiaries J.P. Morgan, City Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank were awash with money earned by financing World War I. Using their market power, Rothschild’s agents first engineered an artificial boom in the stock market, tricking smaller banks and private investors into putting huge amounts of money into the stock market and then deliberately crashed it, enabling the Rothschild agents to buy most of the U.S. stock market. The ripple effect of the New York crash also enabled Rothschild agents in other countries, such as Germany, to buy local corporations at a fraction of their actual value. Eighty years later, it looks like our ruling psychopaths are at it again. They are systematically destroying trust in the U.S. dollar, causing holders of large amounts of green bags to sell them. At the same time, the Rothschild’s are preventing the European Central Bank from printing sufficient Euros for U.S. Dollar owners to exchange all of their holdings into Euros. That way Dollar owners are forced to buy gold instead, causing the gold price to explode. Simultaneously, the Rothschild’s are using their influence on the media sector to spread rumours of an imminent crash of the U.S. Dollar and international stock markets. As per usual, in the day and age of infowar, those rumours first started in the alternative Internet based media, only to spread into the mainstream business media. Last week’s ‘global stock and credit market warning’ of the Rothschild owned Royal Bank of Scotland means that the next Waterloo must be imminent. All it takes is a trigger such as a thwarted Israeli attack on Iran or the blocking of the Persian Gulf for oil transports, followed by a major stock sell-off by Rothschild agents. Once the world’s stock and credit markets have completely crashed, the price of an ounce of gold will be in the thousands, enabling the Rothschild’s and other owners of large gold holdings to buy the market for a fraction of their true value. Most of the population are not aware of the Federal Reserve Scams. Do you know who owns the Federal Reserve Bank? Private business men who include the Morgan’s, Rothschild’s and the Rockefeller family. What they do is print money out of thin air, as much as they like and it’s not regulated!!! They lend money to the government in large interest rates so that the Government is in debt to them. So they control the world economy.
