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...

Answer 1 :
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

Answer 1 :
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.
