i mean would managers try and hold onto these individuals as they would be highly educated

Answer 1 :
That level of qualification is okay but there are many of them and they are not all good in practice. hence the economic mess we are in.
Answer 2 :
An accountant is a valuable asset to any company, but having an accountant of whatever qualification is only one part of a team. A skilled workforce, economic production techniques and a marketable product are of much more importance

Answer 1 :
hi :) Im in year 12; i did my GCSEs last year :) generally, your subjects at GCSE wont prevent you get any jobs; most unis and jobs ask for 5 A-C grades, induding Maths and English, so I wouldnt worry about the particualar subjects. However, statistics seems like a good idea, business would be good too. Maths definatly. Maybe economics. btw, i do statistics at A Level, and it is not easy. At all. You will have to work hard, but you sound like you will :) the other thing is make sure that you dont limit your range of subjects. what i mean is, you are only in year 9, so keep your options open! Since as long as I can remember, I have had my heart set on doing Graphic Design. That was what I wanted to do, I didnt contmplate anything else, and I didnt listen when people said I might change my mind. So, i took art and DT at GCSE, which was one of the biggest mistakes of my school life. I thought I liked these subjects, but the sheer amount of work and the pressure, put me off them, and I now want to go into a more technical side of IT. what im saying is that thought i wouldnt change my mind, but i did. Im not saying this will happen to you, but it very well could, so bare it in mind! anyway, good luck with your GCSE studies, work hard and dont worry too much about your subjects at this level! also, have a look at this site; http://www.connexions-direct.com/jobs4u/index.cfm?pid=50&catalogueContentID=268 it might give you a bit more info :) hope I helped! :)
Answer 2 :
I am an accountant, and I did GCSEs in Maths, English Lan, English Lit, Double Science, History Geography, PE, German and Information Technology. I also did AS Levels in Statistics and Pure Mathematics as maths GCSE was sat 2 years early. I then went to college for AS Levels in Human Biology and German and A Levels in PE, Maths, English Combined and Law. The easiest way to get into accounting is to obviously make sure that you are capable at maths, and other subjects that would aid with this would be business studies, economics, statistics and law. The law is one that many people forget, however the contract law is very useful to get a base level knowledge of. You don't have to go to university to study accountancy, if possible, an option is to get work in a accountancy practice and from there you can study for the AAT qualification (not compulsory but recommended), and then the ACCA examinations. Even if you go to university, you only get exemptions from some of the ACCA examinations. It is therefore up to you if you want to go to university for the experience knowing you still have to do exams. I did, and I don't regret it one bit.

Anybody need a bookkeeper/management accountant in Leeds area?
Hi, I am currently employed in Garforth, Leeds in an accounts practice and am seeking a new role. I have been working in practice for 7 years but there is no room for progression within the firm and I am no longer wishing to work in an accounts practice, this is why I am choosing to leave. My ideal role would be that of a bookkeeper/management accountant controlling sales and purchase ledger and bank reconciliations etc and would also include other office duties as needed. I live in Knottingley,so Castleford,Pontefract,Wakefield,Leeds (East or City Centre preferably but open to any other offers), and any other reasonably nearby location would be suitable. I am 23 years old and am AAT qualified and professionally taught SAGE line 50. I also have an excellent knowledge of Excel and Word. My salary expectations are £19-22,000. Anybody that feels I may be what they are looking for please feel free to email me on liam-fox@supanet.com for a full cv. Thanks for your time.
