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.
