    Hi All, when I started in finance and accounting, due to my ignorance, I was unaware of the jobs that were available to me. So I thought I would make a video given a summary of the jobs and pay, from my experience that you can expect from becoming a chartered accountant.
    Save Smart! Invest Wisely! Become Financially Free! Start watching if you want to worry about money.
    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" 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!
    Thanks again!

    Go into Practice and avoid industry, often you don't learn as much. In Practice you deal with a wide variety of clients and business.
    Go into industry if you want more of an understanding of how businesses operate, But start off in practice first.

    Internal audit under the CFO? Where have you seen this? Internal audit is usually reporting to the Board of Directors, auditors must be indépendant from the CEO or CFO line of authority, otherwise they can’t be independent.

      Yes, is the short answer. Visit the websites of the Chartered accountancy bodies, ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA and, for non-profit sectors, CIPFA. You will see that that their education schemes are open access to everyone. There is also the AAT for accounting technician level; and IAB and ICB for training in professional bookkeeping. But remember, experience is valuable to employers, so try and combine both. Even voluntary, unpaid bookkeeping/accounting work is very much recognised.

    JK shah classes is treating education as a joke. They're playing with the future of children with their false schemes.
    Teachers are trying their best to get ahead in time learning online teaching.
    But what is Jk shah classes doing? Not paying them? This is the time when everyone is paying over and above the salaries to those in need.
    108 teachers have left JK shah classes because of non payment.
    Shocked to see Experienced teachers leaving, like:
    Sagar Vora ( Tax Faculty)
    Himanshu Patel ( SFM Faculty)
    Meenal Dhedia ( Accounting Standard Faculty)
    Tejas Bhatt ( Law Faculty)
    Kalpesh Mehta ( Accounts Faculty)
    Thakur Desai ( IDT Faculty)
    Harshad Gor ( Accounts Faculty)
    Anup kantaria ( Costing Faculty)
    Students are being given scholarship without merit.
    How can you expect competitive spirit and learning environment in class when the students being admitted are given scholarships only for discount and not merit!
    WHO AM I? I am one of the Faculty who just left!

    I wouldn't take this career path too seriously. It's a very flawed model due to the failure on behalf of Government to effectively govern the capitalist system in the UK (Blame the CMA) leading to an oligopoly of these accountancy partnerships that unfortunately have led to massive capital outflows out of the UK as no-one trusts any of the audits & annual reports produced. Contributing to one of the largest decreases in standards of living over the past decade since the world wars.
