Answer 3 :
AAT is a good start to accountancy however you will not be chartered with this qualification and will be unable to sign off other peoples / companies accounts. After completing AAT you should probably be looking to do CIMA or ACCA to get your professional qualification in order to go 'self employed' and sign off accounts. You can get into ACCA and CIMA with a degree or other qualifications but if you have no experience in accountancy I would advise AAT as a starting point. Also, on cpompletion of AAT you get exemptions from the first section of CIMA & ACCA so this is another benefit. Out of the two, if you wish to go on your own once qualified, I would suggest ACCA. This focuses more on auditing and doing accounts for companies wheras CIMA is more management based and is more beneficial for financial controller / director positions that do the finance in house. Finally, how easy is it to find clients?............................. How sales focused are you? How respectable is your company? Will people refer you? Do you have start up capital? This is only something that you will know. Hope this helps.
