Answer 1 :
I wouldn't have thought so. Idea- try getting the emails through an online elmail account like tiscali or something. http://www.tiscali.co.uk/login/index.php?url=/commscentre/email/index.php
Answer 2 :
Its problem with the mail ... If you use Yahoo Mail you can try to use its search function to look for an specific email sender, email file. You can also try to use windows live mail http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview Put it on a website like you normally would put a file on a website. Attach it to emails like you would normally attach a file on an email.

How difficult is it for a doctor to immigrate to Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc.?
How difficult is it for a doctor to immigrate to Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc.?
If I am a doctor who just graduates from an Australian medical school, how hard will it be for me to immigrate to Britain, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand? Is being a GP a highly skilled profession that immigration officials of those countries would choose more than someone who is of (I don't want to sound patronising but I can't phrase this better) mediocre skill, such as an accountant, or a plumber? Add: English was my first language so I'm fluent in English, and reside in the USA

Answer 1 :
Immigration to the UK as a doctor shouldn't be impossible (we certainly need more doctors than plumbers or accountants!!), although things have become more difficult as they continue to tighten up immigration laws, also the new "caps" which the new UK Coalition Government are placing on immigration will make it even harder to be accepted. Being a doctor should allow you to apply for a visa as a "highly skilled migrant" (Tier 1) but you'd still need to pass the points based assessment as regards age, qualifications, experience, earnings potential, English language fluency and financial means etc. Plus the capping regulations will mean less applications being considered/successful (they come into effect next summer). http://www.workpermit.com/uk/uk-immigration-tier-system/tier-1/general-highly-skilled-migrants.htm
Answer 2 :
Australia You need to understand that a GP is not a doctor straight out of medical school. You have to spend several years working as an RMO in a hospital and then apply for a Residency program and then it is another 3 years. Only after that are you considered a GP. Only Australian citizens can apply for the Residency program. At present there is a need for doctors in Australia BUT in 2012 there will be an increase of 300% in the number of locally trained medical students (the first intake will graduate then). So it is highly probable that in 5 years only specialist doctors (cardiologists, radiologists etc) will be eligible for migration. The expectation is now that there will not be enough placements for the 2012 graduates to complete their intern year and most of the international students will have to return home to complete this.

What qualifications will i need to become a chartered accountant (GCSE's,A levels,Apprenticeships and Degrees)?
Kay...so im still in year 9, so i can change my GCSE options and stuff (: i need to know what qualifications and grades i will need to become a chartered accountant, and what the average pay would be if i were a chartered accountant, and if anyone would recommend it, or not (: any help from the UK would be appreciated, as im sure the pay and qualifications would be different in other countries x thanks for any help (: i dont mind if you only have a little idea of the job either, every little helps (: <3 x i would also like to add if anyone has an opinion on wether its better to be a certified accountant or a chartered accountant (: to add, i am very good at maths and i get level 8's all the time in year 9, which is a B grade in GCSE i think. i have also done some A and A+ questions which i seem to have done well at (: x

Answer 1 :
You will not have to worry about your GCSE choices although if your Maths is weak you might want to rethink this plan. Although there is a track that does not go through uni, you should go. Suppose you decide after some time that you want to do something different? You would be well and truly stuck if you had no degree. You do not have to study Accounting at uni although if you do, you will be exempt the first of the ACCA exams. Better to study a subject like Computing or Law which will allow you to become a Specialist accountant. More interesting and better paid! After uni you will need to be hired by an accounting firm and you take the exams as you work. The better firms are very, very picky so make sure you have a 2.1 from the best uni you can get into (must be Russell Group). A Certified Public Accountant is the American equivalent so not much use to you.

If you won the Lottery what would be the very first thing you would do?
If you won the Lottery what would be the very first thing you would do?
Everyone is hyped up about the Lottery and talk about what they would spend the money on. The winners do not receive the funds straight away. My question is relating to the time between jumping around the room to making your way to claim your winnings. I believe that I wouldsit down and plan what I would be spending the sum on. I then would be on the Internet looking up an Accountant and holidays away.

Answer 1 :
The first thing I would do would be to donate half to the pro-life movement. Then I would hire someone to come do my hair every morning.
Answer 2 :
I'd be looking around for a good house with a nice big back garden so that my daughter would have a safe area to play when she wants to go outside and of course we'd have to get the promised pet dog or 2! That's my biggest dream.
Answer 3 :
I would plan a big party and ake my fiends out shopping. I would buy a new house and pay someone to do the work on mine that has needed doing for 2 years!!
Answer 4 :
Write down everything that i want out of life and who i would help out.. then pay off my debts.. holiday and move house
Answer 5 :
Hire a financial adviser.
Answer 6 :
Work out what to do with the money. I'd like to clear my debts, keep enough so that I wouldn't "need" to work anymore - then look at helping family and friends, then look to give some to charities and/or community groups.
Answer 7 :
Until i got my hand on the cheque i would not do a thing as I'm one of these who does not believe things until i have the evidence right there in front of me !.

Have a (very) large gin and tonic... just to get over the shock!
Answer 12 :
Maybe go to work, declare wealth, then 'rub it in' a bit, and a bit more, and then say stuff your job and kiss my a s s ! Just a thought... I'd go to the travel agency, collect brochures, pick a nice place to go to once funds have cleared, go on holiday and discuss with my hubby what we are going to do with the money - invest it of course to give my baby the best life I can give. Also make sure our families never need to worry about money either.
Answer 13 :
I WOULD BUY MY MUM AND DADS HEADSTONE FOR THE GRAVE
Answer 14 :
I know this is sad but as I work for quite a technical field in the NHS I would work my notice and make sure that I did a good job before I left. I'd still do the things like plan on giving out the money, holidays, new car, house, etc. You got the rest of your life to spend the money and enjoy life - I wouldn't worry about the next 3 or 4 weeks of my life working if I'm never going to do it again!!
Answer 15 :
After jumping around the room, then I would start to plan for the future. I'd hire a financial advisor and commence to looking for a nice house with lots of yard space. Then I'd have to hook my family members up and give God his ten percent.

Answer 19 :
I would try my very best and give my all to not change anything. Obviously it will change your attitude to fear regarding money issues, whether its for the better or not. If I can keep myself from not doing anything substantial with it when it is released to me for a period of time, there is a bigger chance I'll end up with some left in a couple of years.
Answer 20 :
Go to work as normal and not crack on. I would work for @6 months and then pretend to get a new job on much better money or start a business as a front. That way you could continue enjoying life, without the hassle of begging letters and hangers on. You could still lavish gifts on friends and family, but how and when you want to.
Answer 21 :
change my phone number..
Answer 22 :
First I would hire the best Financial Advisor I could find then I would sleep the best sleep of my life.

first thing I would do is get rid of my husband and find a new one .

Book tickets to Europe and ask for a leave of absence from work just in case.
Answer 27 :
Thank ya, Jesus!!!!!!! then, I'd live like there's no tomorrow...amen.

I'd get my kids together,and we'd sit down and start thinking of some good Investments. We'd look for an Accountant, and a Lawyer who can manage this type of money,and come to an agreement,as to what type of Business to open. It would be more into something like "Eating and Drinking",because people will always have to eat and drink. A Clothing Boutique, Music-Video,or Auto Supply store are good investments too!. Then once the palimenaries and paperwork are in order,we'd take a Vacation for about a week,to just celebrate the blessings.
Answer 29 :
Try not to lose the winning ticket!
Answer 30 :
NAA I WOULD TELL MY BOSS THAT WE ARE HIRIN SOME1, WITH EXPERICECE, THEN PUMP SO MUCH MONEY INTO THE BISNESS, SO THE NEXT DOOR PRICK CAN GO BANKRUPT, THEN GO BUT EVERY THING JULIAN N Q HAS TO SHOT N BUT LOTS OF COKE!"

How to find a good accountant for a very small business?
How to find a good accountant for a very small business?
I've recently gone self-employed and need to find an accountant to help me as i'm hopeless with book-keeping and wouldn't have a clue about doing a tax return. I know if i go to a large accountancy company, they'll charge me a fortune. How would i go about finding someone who knows what they are doing, is up to date with all the things i can claim for, and who isn't going to charge me an arm and a leg? Is it really just word of mouth? Is there anything else i should know? I'm completely new to this, thanks.
Small Business - 5 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
1) Ask friends, family or other who are self-employed. 2) Look on Craigslist. Many independent bookkeepers post ads under "Services - Financial". 3) Google your city + bookkeeper and see what you find.
Answer 2 :
You should also try contacting e.g. the accounting society or SIFE team at a local university. I know when I was at university, I was involved with a society that worked one to one with people who are self-employed and local businesses to improve their bookkeeping skills. The students are desperately trying to build up work experience and will do everything for free.
Answer 3 :
I was self employed all my life and had a good accountant and it's important to have one if you're a fairly large business but if it's only a cottage industry then the inland revenue will help you do your accounts.It's not difficult.Basically it's the difference between the money you bank,( your gross profit )and the cost to you of the product you sell, that you are taxed on, after all costs and depreciation are removed .It's this net profit that you're taxed on
Answer 4 :
Look locally. You just need a small firm not a large company. They should show you how to do your books and will do your tax return at the end of the year. That is what I did for many years in business. UK
Answer 5 :
Look for an accountant referral that supports your business. Most accountants end up specializing and developing a reputation for knowledge of certain industries. For example, if you own a convenience store, look for a business accountant that knows your sector. Talk to people in your business field and find out if theres any particular company that specialises in your area. This can be the best first step in choosing an accountant for a small business.

I had asked a charterd accountant to do?
I had asked a charterd accountant to do?
I had asked a charter accountant to do 2005 2006 accounts and she had done just 2004 income and no expenditure. Also she had sent it in without my knowledge and then sent me a £900 bill then had dropped it down to £450. I had by chance found the work was sent in by asking for cop pies of Correspondence from the tax man. But the inland revenue will not send all correspondence for some reason. ie "who had asked her for 2004 paper work"? Also 2005 2006 income was recorded but no expenditure. So I feel the tax man had been managing this with out my knoll age. Can any one add vise. How do I get all coppies off correspondence off the revenue service?? and not just what they want to send me.

i would guess by law and under data protection if they are your copies then you have the right to view them, most companies charge £10 for info held about you, not sure about inland rev though.
Answer 2 :
Hello, go direct to the tax offices, ask for an appointment, then take all the relevant data with you, and do it on a oneto one basis. That is the only solution to you problem. When it is settled try to sue the accountant. I was in that situation and came through it.

I WANT TO BE AN ACCOUNTANT.. ADVICE PLEASE?
I WANT TO BE AN ACCOUNTANT.. ADVICE PLEASE?
Okay so.. I was a typical teenager in school, messed about in lessons, hung round with the guys. I didnt realise how important school was until I left. My GCSEs were what woke me up. I got english language, english literature, art and design = C and I got a B in media. then maths french geography and science I got E. I went to college thinking i'd learn to pursue a career in journalism but soon found that it wasnt for me. I left and got a job as a receptionist, but it was only a temporary position. My mum works in finance and I was really interested in her CAT book that she studied a few years back. So I signed up with BPP and im studying CAT Level 1, Paper 1. Im finding it so interesting and my mum thinks I have a great understanding of it, she was suprised. I'd love to pursue a career in finance, hopeing to one day be an accountant or be high up in the finance business. Im studying CAT and when I pass all those exams (I will make sure I do, no matter how many times I try) I go on to study ACCA's? My mums friend done all this in a couple of years.. and they are in their 40's. If I started this now, hopefully I can make up for the time I wasted in school - because I actually know what I want to do in life. So whilst im sending out my CV and applying for banks, im going to study this in my own time. Is there any information you could tell me? Any advice? Thank you very much :)

My advice is not to do it. Who would want to be an accountant? I am studying to be a journalist and I LOVE IT! You should too!
Answer 3 :
Good for you for being able to determine what you really like to do and then having the guts to go after it! There are many types of accountants, and they do all sorts of different things. Some work primarily on taxes. Others are auditors -- they go into a company and make sure all the financial data is in good order and the company isn't trying to be sneaky. Some accountants work inside a company and help make financial decisions, keep track of accounts, and pay bills. And some accountants work for the government. You can do a Google search to find out what types of things accountants get involved in, or you can contact an accounting firm and tell them that you are interested in a career in accounting and ask if they have someone who could talk to you. Accountants also have organizations that like to have students join at a reduced rate -- that's a good way to make contacts and get to know people who may help you get a job later on when you have completed your schooling. And sometimes, they need interns to work while they are learning. I say go for it! Best wishes for great success. Susan Fleming
Answer 4 :
Good for you, go for it and good luck. To get that job and to help you in your studies I would definately say to try and get a job in the finance department or accountancy department. Maybe your mum could help you. Even some work experience would help or you could work as a Finance Assistant without an accountancy qualification and it really would help you study (I have friends who are at various stages with their ACA or ACCA or Management Accountancy qualifications). It is hard work but a good job, although competitive and you have to show that you are the best - the work experience, job shadowing or job in finance would really help you. Best of luck.

Okay so.. I was a typical teenager in school, messed about in lessons, hung round with the guys. I didnt realise how important school was until I left. My GCSEs were what woke me up. I got english language, english literature, art and design = C and I got a B in media. then maths french geography and science I got E. I went to college thinking i'd learn to pursue a career in journalism but soon found that it wasnt for me. I left and got a job as a receptionist, but it was only a temporary position. My mum works in finance and I was really interested in her CAT book that she studied a few years back. So I signed up with BPP and im studying CAT Level 1, Paper 1. Im finding it so interesting and my mum thinks I have a great understanding of it, she was suprised. I'd love to pursue a career in finance, hopeing to one day be an accountant or be high up in the finance business. Im studying CAT and when I pass all those exams (I will make sure I do, no matter how many times I try) I go on to study ACCA's? My mums friend done all this in a couple of years.. and they are in their 40's. If I started this now, hopefully I can make up for the time I wasted in school - because I actually know what I want to do in life. So whilst im sending out my CV and applying for banks, im going to study this in my own time. Is there any information you could tell me? Any advice? Thank you very much :)

How do you Become an Accountant? (I'm 16)?
How do you Become an Accountant? (I'm 16)?
Obviously i don't want to become an accountant at this age (just to make that clear lol) I have a few questions about Accountancy.... I'm really interested in the whole idea of the business and finance sector and i think accountancy is an appropriate job choice for the future... However, as i'm only 16 i've just picked my A Levels to study this september and i've chosen: IFS (Institue of Financial Services Qualification), Double Applied Business, History & Physcology However, my boyfriend wants to be accoutnant also and has been doing an AAT course at college (he is 17) How would i go about doing all these Accounting qualifications if i'm going to be in full time education next year at sixth form Also how do you get into accounting? I'm not sure if i want to go to university yet and if you're going to do accounting at uni i'm sure you need Maths A Level, and i'm not amazing at maths (accounting uses calcultors alot of the time which is useful for me) I'm sorry it's long, but can anyone give me some advice into getting into accounting because as i'm getting older i need to think about my job choices!

Answer 1 :
You're 16 so why are you so worried right now??!!! MOST kids your age don't know what to do the next day!! Don't know what advanced courses are "necessary" since EACH state is different! Check with some of your local area colleges online course descriptions for the undergraduate accounting courses to give you some ideas of the type of courses you may be taking as an accounting major!! Each school may list different names for the courses but the background behind each course is almost identical since it's standardized across the nation! Believe it or not, you do NOT need to be a math wiz though some portions of the certain accounting classes may require you to know Statistics. The basic math of addition, subtraction, division and multiplication is fine! It's really a matter of Logic on how to organize things hence you need to know how to "account for items". Do you want accounting or finance as they are both different (though finance REALLY do have its roots in accounting)?? Good luck!
Answer 2 :
you need to be good at figures, although accounting needs mostly simple math (plus, minus, multiple and divide) major accounting at university to finish all the required accounting courses for the professional accounting body of your country, and then pass their professional accounting exam

can i become a charted accountant with these grades? pleeeeeeeeease answer. iam begging to you.?
i am currently in year 11 doing my GCSEs. these are the grades that i will get for my gcse english = C maths = B biology = C chemistry = B physics = C IT = C RE = B and suppose i pick maths, finance, accounting and business studies in college for my A levels. and suppose i get all As (AAAA) at A levels. do you think i will get into a university that will let me do a degree in accounting so that i can be a charted accountant. thanks.

Answer 1 :
Yes, of course you can. A friend of mine only got Cs at A Level, but did very well at uni. He's now a chartered accountant. Have a look on www.ucas.ac.uk for accountancy degrees and that will let you know the grades you need to get onto the courses.
Answer 2 :
To be honest, if your only getting those results in GCSE the chances of AAAA are slim :( i would maybe do something similar to an apprenticeship
Answer 3 :
Lol if you got AAAA at A level no university in the country would care what you got for GCSE (as long as it's more than 5 C's!). A level grades vary a bit by university, but I don't think any will be higher than Bristol's which are AAA-AAB. That's reeeeeeally high actually. Universities do look at your GCSE grades when making a decision but if you can convince your teachers in your AS year that you can get the A/B grades in their subject then that should sway the university. Accountancy is one of those things that doesn't necessarily need a degree education. A friend of mine is a fully qualified accountant and she did it through an apprenticeship after her A levels.
Answer 4 :
You might want to do a course in book-keeping instead of college prep at this time. After a few years of maturity, you could go back to night business college and major in accounting if that is what you really want. Your grades aren't very good at this time. Do you want this major because your parents have it in their heads that you should be an accountant? Follow your own dreams! When you find what YOU really want, your grades will go up accordingly. good luck.

My husband is a CPA. There are tons of nitpicky rules he has to follow and 80 hours of continuing education courses are required every two years while he practices so he can keep abreast of every, single nitpicky rule's changes including new nitpicky rules. It's about being precise, accurate, knowing every rule in the book and knowing every way people try to get around the books. Alot to know and alot of work to maintain professional standards and licensing requirements. Good luck! :)

No. So long you are of avrage IQ, like the subject and prepared to do hard labour. There is no alternative of sincere and hard work and it never goes unrewarded. One word of caution, according to sociological survey, accountants are the most boring people.
Answer 8 :
it's not that hard but fcuk me it'll be boring!
Answer 9 :
To get to the top of the profession, you might want to go through the CIMA exams (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants). That's about 7 years of studying with some tough exams that you should ensure you pass first time if you want to have the pick of the best employers. Companies looking to employ a CIMA qualified person ask if the person passed their exams first time. The studying doesn't require a lot of scientific ability - but it is hard graft and you've got to really apply yourself. In comparison, a solicitor studying to become a barrister also studies for 7 years.

Can accountants work from home?
If i cant get accountancy work in Turkey can i take my English customers and do the books over there? Do you think that could work out?
Other - Local Businesses - 9 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
yeah
Answer 2 :
Yes. As long as you have your certificate/degree.
Answer 3 :
Yes, that's possible. I'm an accountant in practice and I keep getting emails from accountants in India who say if we email books and records to them, they'll do the accounts cheaply and we can charge the clients. You could do that from Turkey just as well
Answer 4 :
My friend is a CPA and she does all her work from home.
Answer 5 :
absolutely - I often don't go into the client's office. Of course, at some stages you will need to be there because of the actual paperwork - invoices etc - which will need checking etc. I'd advise you get a portable office - I use an Iomega 80 gb USB plug and play storage disc. It's the size of a Hamlet cigar box and fits into the back pocket but you can keep huge files on it. All you then need is a computer to plug it into when you visit your clients.
Answer 6 :
Yes as long as you have acurrent certification
Answer 7 :
I wouldnt think so,do you really think people are going to send important documents in the post to a foreign country and have personal details layed about someones home.wake up
Answer 8 :
yes, you just need a big room for your office, but you have to reg with local authority.....they might charge you business rates, but you get all your bills, set against proft......better to find a cheap office for about 40-00 aweek, then you will have more time with the family.....
Answer 9 :
No reason why not. You would have to get your clients' permission to take the books out of the country. Once they have agreed to this you would have to ensure that you are not breaking any financial rules in Turkey, You would also have to meet all the requirements of being registered to practise accountancy and prepare books of accounts which would be acceptable and follow the international accounting standards and financial reporting rules.

yes, you just need a big room for your office, but you have to reg with local authority.....they might charge you business rates, but you get all your bills, set against proft......better to find a cheap office for about 40-00 aweek, then you will have more time with the family.....
Answer 9 :
No reason why not. You would have to get your clients' permission to take the books out of the country. Once they have agreed to this you would have to ensure that you are not breaking any financial rules in Turkey, You would also have to meet all the requirements of being registered to practise accountancy and prepare books of accounts which would be acceptable and follow the international accounting standards and financial reporting rules.

Answer 1 :
Yeah for certain subjects they do look at GCSEs. Like for my BSc in Psychology, I had to have a B at GCSE level in maths. First things first yeah, you have to be realistic. With those grades you couldn't possibly get AAAA at A Level which is very different from GCSE. However, if you have a clear plan outlined, distance yourself from your mates and really (emphasis on this word) concentrated then you could get straight As. And then you could explain in your UCAS form how you decided to work harder during your A- Levels. See most unis here in the UK look at each application individually. You have to play up to your strengths, overcome your weakness and literally sell your self in your personal statement. Also if you are in a British school, you might want to have a chat with your career advisor. Most schools have one. I had this brilliant lady at school who help me figure out what I wanted. So good luck with your A-Levels and take Maths at A-Level and get an A :) I suppose your English GCSE is ok. Its best to send off a quick email to a uni you would like to apply to regarding the same.

Answer 1 :
The short answer is yes. The vast majority of universities look at your cumulative GPA, and only look at individual courses to make sure you didn't fail anything, or anything significant. But, as long as your overall GPA is admissible, the individual grades don't matter (once again, as long as not failing). The university would then admit you, and most large universities don't have processes where you have to be accepted to specific degree programs, you'll be admitted to the overall university, and are then free to major in whatever you like (like Chemical Engineering or Accounting), or you will be admitted to their Business or Engineering college within the University and are then free to major in your desired subject. So, get those grades up, keep an overall good GPA, and you'll be fine!

what career should I go for? chartered accountant or engineer?
what career should I go for? chartered accountant or engineer?
if i decided to become a chartered accountant i would become one and then go on to get an mba. if i decided to become an engineer then i would become one and then try and get a phd. both ways i am pretty sure i would make good salary. maybe 100k+. but i dont know what i would enjoy more. please help me decide what to do for. here is my personality and life.... i like to sit around and watch tv. ( I AM A lazy couch potato). i dont really get out of my house i just sit inside and go on computer or do something like that. i dont like dirty manual labour.now reading this you might think accountancy will be the better career for me. but wait there is more. i would like to invent something in my life that is gonna be a great invention. i like doing stuff like filing down wood and metal and making things out of it. basically working with tools and nuts, bolts and screws and files and stuff like that. from this it looks like i want to have an engineering career. (one important thing - if i am going to do engineering it would be civil or chemical engineering or else i would go for accounting). someother stuff are i am good at chemistry (usually i get grade As in exams) but i hate it when in chemistry lessons when we do practical work. would i have to do stuff like that if i become a chemical engineer. and i hate maths but still i am good at it. so would hating maths make me hate my job if i become a chartered accountant. what career should i go for. pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help

Answer 1 :
When was the last time you heard of a accountant being made redundant?
Answer 2 :
There is little math in accounting. Many people think accounting is mathematical, but actually it is more conceptual. There is more math in engineering. But if you like to make things and are inventive you should go into engineering. The MBA is a terminal degree that leads to management positions. The Ph.D. is a terminal degree that leads to university teaching and research. You would probably be happier with a Ph.D., but it will take longer to earn it. We need Ph.Ds in engineering more than we need MBAs with accounting.

Career as a management accountant...help please!?
Career as a management accountant...help please!?
I am due to graduate from university this summer after spending 3 years studying maths with economics. I am interested in pursuing a career as a management accountant but wanted to know realistically what chance I have based on the fact that I am predicted a high 2:1 though only have 220 UCAS points over 3 a-levels (or 260 over 4 a-levels)? If I do have a chance, do I need any other form of qualification before I can start to apply for jobs as a trainee management account (after graduating) and begin studying for my CIMA qualification?

Answer 1 :
Sounds like you have enough academic qualifications already or expected. I did the CIMA qualification and got my ACMA with a 2:2 in history, so maths with economics should stand you in good stead.
Answer 2 :
You shouldn't have any problems getting a job as a trainee managment accountant with your qualifications. Try looking at Cima's website. http://www.cimaglobal.org.uk You may however want to consider going down the CA route as that generally gives you more opportunities in terms of career once you are qualified. You will generally need a degree at 2.1 to get a job with a big accounting firm and they will provide all training.

new small ltd: self management or tax accountant?
new small ltd: self management or tax accountant?
I recently set-up a new limited company in london and i've been contacted by a society called "Tax Assist Accountants" to take care of my tax returns, book keeping and all this stuff. They offer me their service for 600£ per year (plus VAT). my business is so simple: i promote and organize events (party), maybe 4/5 per year, so i'm not sure if i really need a tax accountant or i can take care of everything by myself (i'm italian and the uk burocracy is new for me). what do you think about the price they offer to me: is fair or not? can i find something cheaper in london? thanks for your help, BYE.

Answer 1 :
Your english is good so I would reccomend you read the HMRC website - most one man companies do their own accounts nowadays - on line and wit ha computer it is fairly easy.
Answer 2 :
Sounds a little expensive. Go to a small accountant but make sure thaye are registered with the Certified Accountants professional body. Get a couple of quotes. You need a proper accountant to do your Company House returns but you can do a lot of the paperwork yourself to save costs.
Answer 3 :
I doubt if you will find anything cheaper. If you go with that quote make sure you check exactly what is included in the price. I think you need to see an accountant. At least to talk through the obligations and responsibilities associated with running a limited company. Maybe let them prepare the first year's accounts and tax returns and then, if you feel confident that you understand the processes involved, continue doing them yourself in future. Bear in mind that you will need to know - Company law - the format of statutory accounts; what needs to be filed at Companies House (abbreviated accounts); the correct procedure for declaring and paying dividends; filing annual returns, etc. Corporation tax law - to calculate the correct amount of tax and to file the returns. Bear in mind that you will have to file these electronically and the accounts must be in iXBRL format. (Hopefully the software on HMRC's site will make this straightforward) Payroll law - you will probably need to pay yourself a salary and make returns even if you do not employ anyone else directly.
Answer 4 :
Sounds like you need to speak to an accountant who deals with small businesses. They can advise you on tax matters, provide software for your to do your accounting/expenses and do your annual tax returns. Shop around to see if there's a small business accountancy firm that meets your needs. If you genuinely believe you can do the relevant accounting and tax/companies house returns, do it yourself. However, ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law, so if you fail to do something you're supposed to as a limited business, the tax man may investigate you and fine you for any errors/inaccuracies. Getting a qualified accountant to do this work for you transfers the risk of getting something wrong to them largely. They can also arrange things like free business banking for you in your first year and advise you on any tax breaks available to new businesses, so their advice might quickly pay for itself...

Now, I don't mean to insult you; I'm just going to be frank. Your GCSE grades are good, but they're not stellar. And if you want to do chemical engineering, you'll need your physics to be up to speed. But if you do get the grades; it should be fine. Chemical engineering or accountancy?? They're worlds apart! I think you may want to have a little think about what exactly these courses entail and what you want out of them. And A's aren't everything. You need work experience to show universities you're committed. Also, I think work experience in both fields would also help you choose between them. Or you might even end up choosing neither!

Considering becoming a chartered accountant after college?
Considering becoming a chartered accountant after college?
I am currently 14, in year 10 at secondary school. I plan on going to college, where I'll take accounting, and perhaps maths (but, I'm not entirely sure I want to be an accountant, so I want to keep my options pretty open at this point with psychology and law also) and I understand that once one has an A level in accounting, he or she can then, without going on to university to get a degree, find a work placement straight away and work for them (they'll train you et cetera) ... so I was wondering, is this a better idea than going further on, onto university to get a degree? Is a degree necessary or even a hindrance? I don't understand why one would go to university to study it and get a degree, when it's not needed and also, that person would end up in debt paying off the uni. tuition fees once they finally started working? Surely this would not be appealing to accountancy firms? So my question is; Why would one go to university to further study accounting and get a degree, when it's not necessary for charted accountancy? Is it if they're planning on doing a different type of accounting? Thank you

Not sure how it all works in Britain, but a degree is never a bad thing.
Answer 2 :
You need a degree to be a chartered accountant and not just one degree because when you have your degree there is lot more you have to study as it is not just about accountancy. Being a chartered accountant means you are working in companies with more that 250 staff, you could be working with Company mergers, Forensic accounting, IT accounting, Business accounts, Public Practice, FTSE and many other areas which takes years of training and more degrees once you have done your first degree and became a member of the institute if chartered accountants.

Want to become an Accountant, were to start?
Hi all I'm 34 years old and a stay at home mum with 5 year old twins and a 4 year old, All the kids start school in Sept so either thought of looking for a job or go back to college. I have roughly 14 years experiance working in Accounts, firstly I worked for a small company doing a range of accounts work, Wages, Credit and Purchase ledger, then off to a big company just doing purchase Ledger, then off to another company doing purchase ledger supervisor, then progressed to company cashier doing Bank Rec's and dealing with the auditors, then started to do managments reports whilst the Accountant was away including proffit and loss and stock reports. My question is what level should I start to look at and what courses should I consider? Thanks guys

Answer 1 :
As a mature person you could look into doing one of the professional qualifications that don't require an accounting degree. It may be a big commitment to do the 3 year accounting degree then the professional qualification for another 3 years. Try to always select the technical subjects like financial accounting, auditing tax. Avoid the airey fairy subjects like emerging issues in accounting etc.
Answer 2 :
Do you have any kind of college degree? If you don't have a college degree you'll have to start at the basic accounting classes that all business majors specializing in accounting have to take. The work experience doesn't transfer into college experience or college credit. You'll want to find a college that has accounting, pick that as your major, take 2 years to get all the prerequisites out of the way and then start your major classes in accounting. If you already have a 4 year degree you can try and apply for a masters program in accounting and get your masters in a specific area of accounting. Blessings
Answer 3 :
try and research schools in your area to see what they offer. sometimes you can do certificate programs or part-time degrees if you wanted if it is offered.

Answer 1 :
When you say 'My Status in this country is Indefinite Leave to remain' is that for the UK or Bangladesh? If it's not the UK the first thing you need to do is get a Visa. You'll then need to decide what type of Accountant you wish to become, whether it's Chartered, Management, Certified Public. Upon deciding this, you'll have to begin your training with the relevant qualification boards to become an Accountant. You can get onto one of these training schemes by applying to companies that offer the graduate schemes (they'll sponsor you, aswell as you receiving a small salary, about £23000. This usually takes 3/4 years). You could pay for the courses yourself and complete them in a year instead of three. The total cost for all of the courses for MOST qualification bodies is anywhere upto £3000. You could then look forward to a starting salary of anywhere between £25000 - £40000 once FULLY qualified.

Should I pay my accountant after they did a such a poor job?
Should I pay my accountant after they did a such a poor job?
I have just been invoiced for nearly £450 by my accountant for work they claim to have done, I have offered to pay them £200 in final payment with a list of my grievences but it has been rejected. Here are my issues with them: A lack of communication, very slow replies to emails and answer-phone messages, sometimes weeks and after repeated attempts. Lack of financial advice when changes were made in the way I was being paid. Admission that they had forgotten to do my tax returns which ended up in a £100 fine. (admittedly they paid this) but not until I had debt collection threats Did not do my annual returns and still hasn't done so. I am willing to pay something but by law can I pay what I feel the service was worth, or could this end in them taking me to the small claims court. Scott

Answer 1 :
You have to pay them as they and yourself would have signed a contract but if you where unhappy with there performance you would have to fire or talk about to them about the situation.
Answer 2 :
You can refuse to pay and they would have to take action via the small claims procedure in the county court to pursue this. You are always expected to pay for what you have received. Therefore, your suggestion of £200 seems like a good compromise. Send them a cheque with a letter stating that it is in full and final settlement of the matter. If they refuse to accept it then you need to decide if you can face going through the legal procedure. You should defend yourself as you will not be able to recover solicitors costs even if you win the case. That said, neither will they, costs are limited to £50 in the small claims. If you lose the case you will have to pay about £100 - £150 on top of the amount claimed so it might be worthwhile taking the risk.
Answer 3 :
you have to pay so your question doesn't matter

if i decided to become a chartered accountant i would become one and then go on to get an mba. if i decided to become an engineer then i would become one and then try and get a phd. both ways i am pretty sure i would make good salary. maybe 100k+. but i dont know what i would enjoy more. please help me decide what to do for. here is my personality and life.... i like to sit around and watch tv. ( I AM A lazy couch potato). i dont really get out of my house i just sit inside and go on computer or do something like that. i dont like dirty manual labour.now reading this you might think accountancy will be the better career for me. but wait there is more. i would like to invent something in my life that is gonna be a great invention. i like doing stuff like filing down wood and metal and making things out of it. basically working with tools and nuts, bolts and screws and files and stuff like that. from this it looks like i want to have an engineering career. (one important thing - if i am going to do engineering it would be civil or chemical engineering or else i would go for accounting). someother stuff are i am good at chemistry (usually i get grade As in exams) but i hate it when in chemistry lessons when we do practical work. would i have to do stuff like that if i become a chemical engineer. and i hate maths but still i am good at it. so would hating maths make me hate my job if i become a chartered accountant. what career should i go for. pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help

Answer 1 :
I'd study accountancy (I am doing actually), and obtain all the qualifications. Then, if you are an accountant, you can transfer those skills into even running your own company! REMEMBER: Don't think that studying accountancy restricts you to just being an accountant.
Answer 2 :
Engineer hun, il give sum inventionts that the UK dont want
Answer 3 :
Hi there As you have taken the time to commit to paper what you consider to be your interests also strengths and preferences I wonder if you have read it through yourself ! It sounds to me as if you are not particularly interested in either career. Many people choose career paths which meet their financial criteria - only you can know if that is enough! Its about choices - either the satisfaction of payday or the challenges of earning a living doing something which floats your boat. I suspect that the fact that you are asking the question reflects your own doubts. If your chosen style is computer geek/ couch potato it is not clear to see where your ambitions lie. I am afraid the only one who can solve your dilemma is the one in the mirror ! I wish you success
Answer 4 :
i would do neither, and if i were you at your age i would get involved in making money online (internet marketing) once you have the know how you can make alot more than 100k a year. im currently starting my online business now. The future is online trust me.
Answer 5 :
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese decide one of them and stop asking the same question on here again, and again amd again. We can't make your decision for you - only you can do that and the peoel who know you well are the best to advise you. Forget about the money, you spend 1/2 your waking hours each week at work, or travelling there and back and if you don't enjoy the job money is worthless. Go for something you will enjoy and find rewarding to do. If hiring and firing people, screwing up lives is good then go for the MBA, change the world and become an overseas aid worker, make things and engineering, count money and be bored to death filling in another spreadsheet then accountancy is for you. Engineering is a lot of maths by the way.

Answer 1 :
If you want to be a chartered accountant you train under ACA, or CA, chartered accountant. ACCA, CPA and CIMA etc. are also accountancy degrees, I study CIMA, where the emphasis is on finance management in industry, ACCA tends more towards the audit function, etc, they are all fairly similar, which ever you choose. Go to university, do a finance degree, then apply for ACA, you might get some exemptions based on your past studies, and apply for jobs in some of the large accountancy bodies in your area to gain experience and go from there. However, there is no one way, most people study in the evening after work, so you can start to study at any age. I work with a woman who qualified with ACCA when she was in her late 50's.

Can I find out what my accountant has submitted to HMRC on behalf of my company?
I'm pretty sure my accountant has made a mistake on the P35, P14 and P60 forms he submitted for my company. He says he has amended and resent them but is refusing to forward me the amended forms. I pay him to do all this. Is there anyway I can look up on the HMRC website to see what forms have been submitted on behalf of my company. At the moment, as my accountants, they are authorised to do this on behalf of my company, but I would like to see for myself what the HMRC has received from them.

Change your Accountant now. You are paying them to do a job. your new Accountant has to have all the paperwork given to them and they will tell you what is happening.
Answer 2 :
You are legally resonsible for what your accountant has filed on yoour behalf, therefore you are entitled to see it. He sounds v imcompetant and my advice would be to threatened to report him to his governing body. You can't view this info online without the reference number and password, which I assume he has. You could ask HMRC for copies, but it might take a while.
Answer 3 :
Most employer's returns have to be filed online now. Do you know what reference and password Accountant has been using? If you don't know, you can't get in, website has to be secure for confidentiality purposes. If he has done this online, he may not have taken off copies. You can contact HMRC, but doubt you will get much information over the phone. Employers' returns are not done by local offices any more, specialist offices deal with it. I'm sure HMRC could send you a copy, but I don't know how long the correspondence backlog is. It is your return, you are entitled to know. Ever thought about changing your accountant? I wouldn't like to guarantee that if you do he will not be as dilatory in passing paperwork over to new accountant. I used to deal with a useless accountant when I was working, and if clients moved on, he wouldn't pass over the relevant paperwork.

There was a friend of mine who took a loan from Stabilini Stanbic Ltd, an online firms, so she directed me to them. I told my boss about them, so he decided to dicuss it with the management first, after their conclusion, they concluded they should give it a try because they have no any option left. So I was told to contact them and our application was approved and we got our loan that help us to get out of the mess we passed through the years and we cleared all our debts.

Contractor outside of IR35: Umbrella or limited company, accountant or DIY?
Contractor outside of IR35: Umbrella or limited company, accountant or DIY?
I've been a contractor for 3 months and have had Giant, an umbrella company, process my pay. I take home under 60% of what I make despite claiming (very humble) expenses. I have just won a new contract on a lot of money so want to make sure I do the right thing and don't get ripped off. I've been told that my contract definitely falls outside of IR35 and has been especially written that way. I'm thinking I should go limited company and do the company formation myself, or would I be better getting an accountant to deal with everything for me or a specialist online contractor accountant service or something. I've found so much conflicting information online but it's all biased, before I started last time Giant gave me a quote telling me I'd get over 75% before I started and that was clearly rubbish! What do you guys do/ recommend? Any responses gratefully received! :) PS. I'm based in Berkshire so any accountants etc. around there even better!

Answer 1 :
I would go and speak to 2 or 3 accountants - any good firlms will be willing to offer you an hour of their time to explain the pros and cons of each alternative and to tell you what their fees are. I have to say that putting the company and PAYE stuff in the hands of a good, local accountant will save you loads of hassle, fines, etc.
Answer 2 :
Whether you need a company or not depends to a large extent on what work you do. If, because it's your fault (mistake etc) something goes wrong, what could it cost in terms of injury to other people; wasted materials etc? If the answer is "a lot", form a limited company, then any mistake will cost you no more than the company's assets. Without a company you would pesonally be at risk. If not much is at stake, just be a sole trader - the annual cost is less than the cost of running a company. Either way get yourself an accountant. They can advise finally on which way you ought to go.Dig out a few names from Yellow Pages then, before you call them, go and have a look at their business premises. Discard those that operate from home or a shabby looking office. Disregard those with very large, plush-looking offices (they'll charge hefty fees). Make sure the name plate has the letters ACA or FCA or ACCA after the name. From the resulting shortlist select one that you like the look of and give them a call. For the sort of advice you will need they should all be quite capable - yours is a common situation. Do ask about the accountants' fees (though it won't actually cost you as much as they quote because you will be able to deduct them from what you'll have to pay income tax on). Also, get clear with them what record-keeping you'll need to do. Poor records result in an accountant having to spend more time, which leads to higher fees.

I've been a contractor for 3 months and have had Giant, an umbrella company, process my pay. I take home under 60% of what I make despite claiming (very humble) expenses. I have just won a new contract on a lot of money so want to make sure I do the right thing and don't get ripped off. I've been told that my contract definitely falls outside of IR35 and has been especially written that way. I'm thinking I should go limited company and do the company formation myself, or would I be better getting an accountant to deal with everything for me or a specialist online contractor accountant service or something. I've found so much conflicting information online but it's all biased, before I started last time Giant gave me a quote telling me I'd get over 75% before I started and that was clearly rubbish! What do you guys do/ recommend? Any responses gratefully received! :) PS. I'm based in Berkshire so any accountants etc. around there even better!

Answer 1 :
I would go and speak to 2 or 3 accountants - any good firlms will be willing to offer you an hour of their time to explain the pros and cons of each alternative and to tell you what their fees are. I have to say that putting the company and PAYE stuff in the hands of a good, local accountant will save you loads of hassle, fines, etc.
Answer 2 :
Whether you need a company or not depends to a large extent on what work you do. If, because it's your fault (mistake etc) something goes wrong, what could it cost in terms of injury to other people; wasted materials etc? If the answer is "a lot", form a limited company, then any mistake will cost you no more than the company's assets. Without a company you would pesonally be at risk. If not much is at stake, just be a sole trader - the annual cost is less than the cost of running a company. Either way get yourself an accountant. They can advise finally on which way you ought to go.Dig out a few names from Yellow Pages then, before you call them, go and have a look at their business premises. Discard those that operate from home or a shabby looking office. Disregard those with very large, plush-looking offices (they'll charge hefty fees). Make sure the name plate has the letters ACA or FCA or ACCA after the name. From the resulting shortlist select one that you like the look of and give them a call.

Can I refuse to pay my accountant?
Can I refuse to pay my accountant?
i have been charged for lots of things that my accountants have done for me - but they have never indicated to us that there would be a charge - for example my accountant sent me an excel spreadsheet to use as he thought it would help keep track of business. today i recieve a bill for £420.00!. Am i within my rights to refuse to pay as at no time did he tell me there was a fee. If he had I would have refused it. Too make it worse his spreadsheet was not as good in my opinion as the one I was using that I downloaded from the internet for free!

Answer 1 :
What does your contract with them state? Did you sign anything when you first went to them? Did you not ask if there was a fee?
Answer 2 :
UK? You could. Check the contract. It may be a case of them using misleading information. If the spreadsheet was not fit for it's purpose, then you may have a claim under the supply of goods and services act. You need to write a letter of complaint to the accountant as soon as possible. Be prepared to write three letters, if you don't get a satisfactory response to your complaint. Trading standards may be able to shed some light on this for you. Just as an afterthought, I don't know if the financial ombudsmen might be able to help you. Check their website below.
Answer 3 :
I wouldn't try it, any way surely you realise that accountants don't work for nothing
Answer 4 :
They did a service for you, you have to pay them. Of course, you could refuse, but they could sue you for fees, and they would win. As long as they weren't negligent in their work for you, the accountants did nothing wrong, regardless of the outcome. If you want to punish them for their bad work, just switch accountants. How could you not know they were going to bill you?
Answer 5 :
Dear (Accountant), I am "returning" the Excel spreadsheet. I have deleted all copies from my computer. First, I am not using it. I found that the one I was already using met my needs. I looked at it because you recommened it to me. Second, I was not aware that you were planning to bill me for it. Frankly, it's not as good as the ones available on the internet for free and had I known you were planning to bill me for it--let alone 420GPB-- I would have declined immediately. ...
Answer 6 :
If you asked for the spreadsheet, you have to pay. If he just gave you the spreadsheet out of the blue (i.e.: unsolicited), you don't have to pay. He can NOT force you to use his product, and if you refuse to use his product, you are not required to pay for it. Either e-mail him, or call him, and advise that you have no intention of paying for unasked-for and unused product. You evaluated the product, and deleted it as inferior to product you had already obtained. If he insists on being paid for work not requested, or inappropriate software or hardware "suggestions" fire him. I know one store owner here who knuckled under when his accountant told him flat-out to NOT do cash-backs, because HE doesn't like them, and that he would charge extra to process them! I suggested to the owner that he can the guy and hire a new accountant! Good Luck
Answer 7 :
I don't think accountants and solicitors have to give you schedule of charges when you employ them. although you should have am agreement of service. Are they Chartered Accountants, or members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. If they are I am sure they qwill be acting in accordance with the regulations. If they are not then I would query it. £420 sounds a lot for a spread sheet!
