Answer 1 :
If he is crafty ....whatever he wants
Answer 2 :
ALOT!!!!!!!!
Answer 3 :
There is a chart about 2/3 of the way down this link that has explicit answers based on your exact job title (and some locations) http://www.workgateways.com/job-accounting.html#salary Hope this helps!
Answer 4 :
I honestly do not know but, as I would one day like to train to become an accountant, I know that this involves alot of hard work so, now that you have already done this, do not sell yourself short!! Best wishes.
Answer 5 :
Very varied - depends very much on your previous level of experience and what industry you are working in as well as where your specialism is. The highest paid newly qualified accountants are likely to be product controllers in investment banks. But a better source of information would be most of the mainstream accounting recruiters' websites - companies like Hays, Robert Walters, Morgan McKinley, etc. They are likely to have latest surveys that will show the current trends. Also, if you look at roles advertised, you'll see what employers are prepared to pay for your particular skill set. All the best
Answer 6 :
unless well structured company the pay could be negotiated.
Answer 7 :
The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

Answer 1 :
ask the accountant not us
Answer 2 :
if you did bad in accounting courses, then you probably won't pass the tests to become a chartered accountant - if they are anything like US CPA tests, they are not easy
Answer 3 :
http://www.icaew.com/index.cfm/route/158423/icaew_ga/en/Home/Institute_of_Chartered_Accountants_in_England_and_Wales Hiya, I am not an accountant but a Financial Adviser, which is close enough... I looked some info up for you. Not sure if you are in Scotland, England, Ireland or Wales, the required qualification/membership of professional society varies for each part of the country. You cannot be an accountant without a relevant qualification and CPD (continuing professional development) so it is a career that you should only embark on if you are studious. Someone else wrote a stupid answer about you wouldn't be able to cope with accountancy exams if you flunked school - utter nonsense - if you want to do something enough and you are driven you can achieve anything and the cheeky sod doesn't even know you. Go for it and good luck!!
Answer 4 :
Apart from passing exams, you also need to have three years of relevant work experience before you can become a chartered accountant. It's nice to think that anyone could become a chartered accountant, but it is simply not true. Firms that train chartered accountants spend a lot of money on the training courses and take the highly competitive recruitment process really seriously, meaning that your "very bad" GCSEs would mean it is unlikely that anyone would take you onto their training scheme.
Answer 5 :
I would recommend that you should initially do the AAT qualification (Association of Accounting Technicians). There are three levels and so if you start at the Foundation level I would imagine that this would be OK for you as this is just equivalent to GCSE's. You can then complete the Intermediate and Technician levels at which point you would have the qualification. Most people study for the AAT with an employer who pays for their study, however if your GCSE's are really as bad as you say they are it may be better for you to study for the Foundation and maybe even the whole qualification yourself and pay for it yourself. You would then have more job prospects as you could show that you have the ability to study for accountancy and could then get a job with an employer to sponsor you for the remainder. http://www.aat.org.uk/content/item2555/ Once you have the AAT qualification you could then continue to study to become Chartered. The AAT would give you a good basic grounding in accountancy before considering whether to move onto the ACA qualification (Chartered Accountant) from the ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) or the ACCA (Chartered Certified Accountant). You will definitely need to study at the same time as working as you require three years work experience as well as the qualification to become Chartered. I hope that this helps - have a look at the AAT website and see what you think.

In the UK, how much do you think i could earn when i am part qual as an accountant then when i am fully qual?
How much do fresh out of uni accountants make? When i am part acca (etc) qualified, then what about when i become fully chartered. Also i live in Newcastle at the moment, would i be better moving to another when i finish uni, such as Manchester or London? Do you think i would be well rewarded for moving somewhere like, USA, Canada, Australia of New Zealand when i finish my degree and becoming fully chartered over there.

Answer 1 :
Ask an accountant
Answer 2 :
london you will make more money(earn) but going to cananda or the states you will earn double to london, probably get your house quicker in states to england
Answer 3 :
http://www.insidecareers.co.uk/__80257328003c6a3e.nsf/welcomecaadv!readform My cousin is an accountant with an insurance firm and its very good money but a lot of hard work! He works with Prudentail.
Answer 4 :
you should get payed a decent amount og money but if you go to this web site it is genuine you will make allot of money http://private-millionaire.org/1/29195381-invitation-page.aspx read it all if you can not get in email me
Answer 5 :
Salaries vary on area, skills, motivation, exam results, areas of specialisation, and also how good you are. They also depend on the wider package that an employer gives (remember it is not always about pure cash in 'top line' salary). The ACCA has a salary survey at http://www.accaglobal.com/allnews/national/ireland/salaryguide2007 Also remember quality of life and cost of living when comparing salaries - which can make the big cities less attractive than they might otherwise appear. Remember being qualified in one country also does not automatically make you fit to operate in another (the USA for example is not one country but 52 loosely affiliated countries - and qualification in one state does not necessarily qualify you for practice in another). Personally if I had my time again I'd be in Canada - but that is because I love the country and the people. As the owner of my own firm I suspect it wouldnt make a huge difference to my earnings which country in the developed world I'm in though.
