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! :)
Answer 7 :
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.
Answer 10 :
It's the best job in the world go for it.

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.

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.
