Can you do the CTA course on its own or do you have to be an accountant first?
Just a thought, I like tax but don't want to do accountancy. Can I just specialise in tax and do the CTA. How long does it take normally to complete the course?

Answer 1 :
Usually people do an accounting degree then professional qualification. Each takes about 3 years. The second can be done while working full time. ACCA allow people to start without a degree, but it takes longer. You could also do foreign professional qualifications, like CPA/CA Ireland, Canada or Australia.
Answer 2 :
You'll need a UK recognised Accounting degree. ACCA is the most popular but there are many other accounting degrees which will give you accounting qualifications. Find out from the student counsellor at the college you decide to study at

not sure gool it
Answer 2 :
i'm not a chartered accountant...but I am also doing a degree in accounting and finance and hoping to do ACCA. After your degree you will have to do ACCA (association of certified chartered accountants) exams, you may have to do an ACCA course but i think that you can do exams only. your degree in accounting and finance will enable you to get some exemptions from some ACCA exams. you can try the following websites for more information: http://www.accaglobal.com/ http://www.icaew.com/index.cfm/route/158820/icaew_ga/en/Qualifications/Train_for_the_ACA/Train_for_the_ACA http://www.ca-training.co.uk/ hope this info is helpful :-)

Becoming an Accountant or Stock Broker?
Becoming an Accountant or Stock Broker?
Hey, I'm going to graduate from from university with predicted grades of a 1st in Accountancy. What is the starting salary for an trainee accountant or stock broker, and how much does it rise with time? thanks in advance

People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
accountant 16 - 25k stockbroker 20 - 40k
Answer 2 :
Dont know about stockbrokers. For accountancy though, GAAP web has a couple of salary surveys listed at http://www.gaapweb.com/CareerLaunch/Salary-Survey.aspx which you may find interesting. There’s a great deal more to it than just what’s in your payslip at the end of the month, don’t forget to take into account travel subsidies, free gym membership, healthcare, flexi-time. Even a casual dress code and relaxed working atmosphere are seen as benefits to be considered as part of a package. Do you have free tea and coffee at work, a parking space or access to the web? ...for surfing after hours of course! It will also vary significantly depending on the sector you are in, whether you are an employee or run your own business, where in the country you are, and so on.

Answer 1 :
What's an accountant?
Answer 2 :
my sister is an accountant....i still don't understand finance
Answer 3 :
No, most times he just tries to part me from my money :)
Answer 4 :
My accountant speaks to me through his Solicitor, something to do with me owing him money.
Answer 5 :
He usually asks are these the made in your dreams ones
Answer 6 :
I don't have an accountant because I'm not that well off--I don't need one nor can I pay one. But I would think there is something fishy about the question he's asking. Whether for the bank manager or the IRS, they should always be the same, if the same info is requested. If the figures are different (probably higher for the bank manager), you could have your tax return audited, which is not a nice or uncomplicated experience. Ask your accountant "why?" the next time he inquires, or don't even wait, but ask asap. You can't scam the IRS and he may just be scamming you.
Answer 7 :
Aye the acCoUNTant does :)
Answer 8 :
not telling you!
Answer 9 :
oh I don't have an accountant but i need one - i never had a head for figures just a figure for head lol
Answer 10 :
"I Massages Me Own Figure Matey !"... I Don't Want Any W'ankers Or Parasitic Collectors Coming Down 'Ere and Interfering With Me !!
