I tend to see accountants online (especially on Reddit) talk about their cozy work from home jobs in which they work 10-20 hours a week for a lot of the time, except for the busy weeks.
It sounds too good to be true and honestly makes me intrigued in accounting. Even if I have to work 30-35 hours, it’s no issue as long as I can do it from home.
I definitely think that’s too good to be true idk many if any accountants who work 10-20 hours per week
I've heard 60+ per week for months at a time then ~40 for the rest of the year.
Great videos. Currently having a binge watch. Thanks 😊
Thanks Sophia
Thank you brother, interesting points raised, allowed me to think whether to still pursue accounting. May well do in the future but for now going to go through other monetary avenues. Keep it up, interesting to hear what you've learnt from your experience thus far.👍
Thank you very much for your kind words
MashAllah your videos are great! Hopefully you will get more subs
Jzk for your kind words
I think his experience is more for ex auditors. Accountants that started their career in industry have a complete different outlook on the accounting profession
Great vid bro.
Thank you for your kind words!
Salam brother I am so happy to see your video today, mash Allah.
I am a woman who has 33 years, and have three children I was a house wife when I was in my home country, I came to U.S I stat school now I am about to graduate. however, now I want to study Accounting when I discuss with my friends and family they discouraged that you could not do it, I am here to ask you Accounting is that much hard?
I believe that anyone who want to do something they could do it, please please give me your valuable advice!
you can learn anything just belive in your self sister
Salaam brother! Lovely video! Could you please make a video explaining each role in the accounting industry. Eg what you do as auditor or in tax?
Wa alaykum as Salam in shaa allah I’ve got some plans for that coming soon! In the meantime I talk about my experiences in practice that will give you a holistic overview! Vid is called Working in Practice....I also recommend watching the internal audit series on my channel
@@FehzanMehdi yes will do! Looking forward to the next videos! Thankyou brother
Thanks for the kind words
Correct, you basically have to get a masters. Another way to look at it, is because it takes so long to get qualified. Accounting is a regulated profession which protects job security and salary potential.
Great insight
Assalamu alaikum brother can you do a video on people doing their career change into accounting and what path to follow
Wa alaykum as salam so depending on the qualifications the person has they can either take a graduate route, apprenticeship, or with no qualifications. There are three videos on these routes on my channel which should help. If you have any questions still I'd recommend sending me a message on Instagram.
Can you do a vid on whether to go down the ACCA or CIMA route as am not sure on which qualification to take up in my accounting career so far 🤔
Ja’Zak’Allah khair 🙏
In shaa allah I will do
Fehzan Mehdi and can you explain what they are please
Yes in shaa allah I will do a video on the main accounting qualifications
I can sum it up for you CIMA is more for business decision making, financial controllers and retail companies like Tescos costa etc.. that look at budgeting and financial forecasts etc. Acca is more for technical accountants that understand the Intricacies of financial statements, journals, GL and can set up their own financial statements.
Both are good but valuable depending on the industry you work in.
Hi , I’m currently studying busniess/sports science in university , but I’m now thinking I want to become a accountant would you recommend leaving and doing accounting or is it still possible if I graduate with a different degree , thank you sir
No carry on with your degree - you can become an accountant with any degree
@@FehzanMehdihow? I have a religious degree so I can become accountant?
@@bigdog4166 yes you can
I think accounting isnot boring but itis interesting
Studying in accounting need smart technique
Spoken like a true accountant!
What about the fact that we have to.. Deal with intrest as finance professionals and also a bit in Audit??
I’ve done a video on this it’s not as simple as saying you’re an accountant so you deal with internet - it depends on your responsibilities- check out do accountants deal with interest
Thank U ❤.. Jazak Allah
Salem brother.l would like to give me insight in bookkeeping and how can work as self employed bookkeeper. May Allah bless u
Wa alaykum as Salam I would recommend getting work experience whilst studying the aat if you want to go into book keeping
Salaams I’m abit confused from what you said at 0:58 .
Why does it take an extra 3-4 years after you graduate to become a qualified accountant, I thought you’re qualified when you graduate ?
Wa alaykum as salam to become a chartered accountant you need around 3 years of relevant work experience which you don’t gain at university and you need to pass exams on top too, if you’ve studied a relevant degree you may get be entitled to some exemptions from the exams.
@@FehzanMehdiah right , but are you not still a qualified accountant when you finish university?
I thought you’re still classed as a qualified accountant when you graduate and then a qualified chartered accountant when you pass the other exams after uni ?
@@SilverbackA No you're not. Any person can call themself an accountant, by doing a degree it doesn't make you "qualified". What you may think of as qualified may be different to the next person's understanding. The qualifications which differentiate you as a chartered / chartered certified / chartered management etc. accountant are the ACA, ACCA, CIMA, ICAS etc.
are u an acca?
No I’m a member of Icaew
@@FehzanMehdi is it too hard to land a job in uk from abroad as an acca?
Not necessarily visa is the problem for international members - if you have good experience you can land a job.
Don't listen to this guy
why
