    Having worked at PwC and having had several jobs in finance I thought it would be useful to show how you can get a job at one of the top 4 professional firms.
    I go over:
    Roles
    Interview
    stages of assessment
    and lots more..

    I started this channel as I was becoming more and more aware that my friends and family were relatively clueless when it came to knowing where they should be putting there money. Having studied Accounting and Finance at Uni, becoming a ACA Chartered Accountant at PwC, over 5 years working in commercial finance and whilst reading copious amounts of investing and "self help books" and building a £100k portfolio - I realised I probably have something to offer people.
    I want these videos to be informative as possible and help you, the listener, so please do subscribe and leave a comment on what you like and what you may want me to talk about in the future!
    I am not a financial advisor and this is not financial advise. This is an entertainment video. All investments have a risk and research should be performed personally before making any investment.
    Thanks again!

    Would you be able to do an in depth guide on an experienced professional trying to make the jump to a big four firm?

    Hi Paul, where can I find useful resources to prepare each assessment?

    Hi Paul , I didn't do as well as I would have hoped in my degree (completed in 2015) but I have since gone back to take a Masters in Finance. Can my most recent qualification over ride the need for a 2.1 in your opinion?

  • @k____5697
    @k____5697 Před 3 lety +1

    What if you don’t have a 2.1 but you work in risk and you’re really good. How would you convey that through the application process?

    Hi Paul. If i have a BA accounting and finance degree, is that enough to register for ACA? Or do i still need additional GCSES inc ENG and MATHS and A levels. WOuld really appreciate it if you could help. Thanks buddy.

    This video was great! I'm going to be applying for graduate positions this fall.
    I'm really interested in and thinking about applying for Tax but have read the big 4 prefer people with Law degrees for Tax?
    As an Accounting & Finance student should I go for the more 'safe' option with Audit? or go for Tax which I'm more interested in? (Also have work experience/placement year in Management Accounting)

      Livecustoms you can go for tax. Just show on your cv or cover letter that that’s what you’re more interested in

      @@dnlktmnn so far so good. There might be a huge difference what team you are in, who is your manager and many other factors. In my case it has been great experience so far.

    Do you have to have done a level maths and have amazing gcse grades to get in ?

    • @PaulHarrisYoutube
      @PaulHarrisYoutube  Před 3 lety +2

      I dont believe so. It probably helps. I think it is just a 2.1 at uni

    Should i do a degree or an apprenticeship if i want to become a Chartered Accountant?
    I'm going to start Year 13

    • @PaulHarrisYoutube
      @PaulHarrisYoutube  Před 4 lety +5

      That is a difficult question - at £9k a year uni can be very expensive - so financially if you can get on a Flying start course at a professional firm then in the long run you may be better off. However, if i could go back and do it again, i would look at it more as an opportunity to study something i was particularly interested in - since you can choose to study as a chartered accountant with almost any degree background. Problem is i didn’t know what to do when i was in year 13

      My brother is currently working in audit for PwC, and he said if he knew what he knew now, he would go straight from school into the big 4.
