    Amazing video! You may have mentioned it and I missed it but in terms of becoming a management accountant is it possible to become a management accountant straight after a BSc in Accounting (like get into a training management accounting role) or do you have to start in financial first? Asking because management interests me far more and if it was available as a starting graduate position I would take it in an instant

Im really struggling to find good work experience for accounting so that i have stuff to write about on my personal statement.

    • @CRAIGO10
      @CRAIGO10  Рік тому +4

      Hey mate - don't sweat it. There isn't really a career path into accountancy, I've known people with all degrees end up in Accountancy. I studied Business with Finance but if you want the most valuable then I recommend an Accountancy & Finance degree. You'll get multiple exemptions from CIMA meaning you can become Chartered a lot quicker :)

    I need some advice. I am stuck between either doing accounting or marketing as a career. If I do accounting I will either do tax or management accounting. I want to pursue an accounting degree because it can lead to many other non accounting careers and the pay is quite high, however marketing seems more fun and less stressful. What are some benefits I will have if I end up choosing the accounting path over the marketing path? Also I dont want to have to do another 4-5 extra years of study after university so if I end up going the accounting route should I do CA or CPA? Also what are some benefits and negatives of public vs private accounting?
