Hello All,

I'd really like to pursue a career in accountancy. I'm 40 years old and my academic background isn't great. I've been saving so that I can self fund ACCA. I really do want to do this. People have advised me not to do it, saying that successful acountants have strong academic backgrounds. Please can anyone tell me if this is generally true. My background is working with offenders, so I don't have relevant work experience. I'm a single parent and want to make sure that whatever I do now is the right thing career wise. Thanks! Lynn

Hey,

Check this company out for Financial Modelling with Excel. I did the course during my ACCA papers. It helped me sooo much and put me the top of the pile when applying for jobs. It has been more valuable than some of the ACCA modules. I looked around for the right price and course but it was all soo expensive and then i found this company for £399 special offer (normally £999.99) for a full day course covering all the modules that a £2k course would do. They are running this offer again for students doing ACCA. I spoke to a woman named LIZ, 07947 890 111. www.alphafts.com

This will help in any company. one director was telling me that there is only 10% professionals or ACCA qualified that know how to use Excel and create Models. Hence why they get paid alot more. Put it this way my salary went up by 8.5k.
