The start of October marks a new challenge for many ACA/ACCA Qualified Accountants across the country who have spent the last 3 years juggling the demands of tight audit deadlines and testing examinations.
Hopefully for many this difficult balancing act is now over, you have your ACA/ACCA exams complete and now, you also have the vital time qualification to go with it, if this is you, then congratulations!
You may have an idea of the possibilities out there based on clients you have worked with, whether you’re looking to stay in practice or move into industry it is vital you carry out the required research to make the right move.
Key things to take into account are:
- Which appeals more – staying in practice or moving into industry?
- What type of culture do you think would be best for you?
- What size of business would you like to see yourself in?
- Is there a particular sector you would like to work in?
- What are your long term career goals?
- Why do you want to make a move?
