🌹 ABOUT ME
A Thai living in the UK.
I work as an accountant but also consider myself a full-time learner. I moved to London 5 years ago having 2 suitcases to my name to start a career in accounting, earning minimum salary. As a family, we're now proud home owners, got rid of £20k debt and managed to increase my salary by four-fold! I enjoy conversations around money, career, how to navigate life as a millennial.

Hi Poppy, thank you for the vid, which aat qualification do you recommend? Kaplan...etc? Because there are many course providers. Also any books you recommend?

@PoppyDontree 2 года назад

@@ancientengineer1153 I have always been Kaplan and personally I found their books much easier for me to navigate and understand than BPP. I had to do one course with BPP and didn't particularly like it. Also tried first institution and didn't like it neither. If you're learning online only, maybe reach out to a few of them and ask for free access to their online portal and see which one suits your needs the most. Are you talking about general personal finance books or ACCA related books?

Hello! I would say for excel, look into Microsoft certification. A lot of colleges do evening classes and usually can be done in a month or two. You sit an exam and get a certificate from Microsoft for excel. Also be prepared to be asked about the functions and how you would use them. As I’ve learned anyone can say buzzwords such as vlookup sumif etc. As an interviewer (in abscence of a qualification) I have to ask more questions.

Hi, thank you for the video… Just want to ask which is better ACCA vs CIMA…which has more opportunities to get a job easily.🤗

@PoppyDontree 2 года назад

It depends on the the role really. If you're after management accountant role, normally either ACCA or CIMA should have equal chance but if the role is extremely commercial then they may prefer someone with CIMA over ACCA. I personally find ACCA to be more rounded so if you want to have options to switch between more technical like Financial Accountant and commercial then ACCA will give you more chance.

@PoppyDontree 2 года назад

Please check how many exam exemptions you'll get with a degree in Business & HR management. If you won't get any exemptions then you might want to start now. Please do note though that ACCA & ACA are very difficult qualifications and will require a lot of dedication so it might impact your current study. I made a video here of how long each exam take me to study so you may want to check out for further info ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ybUjWjjtGk.html.

@CL-JEF 2 года назад

I was wondering what role titles i should apply for with a degree in accounting and finance if I wanted to start in industry? To be honest, I am not too keen on the type of work one might do in practice such as auditing. How viable is this approach, or is it that much better to start in practice? I will be graduating in a few months from a top uni in the UK but have little work experience. Thanks!

@PoppyDontree 2 года назад

If you have no experience you could try Management Accountant/ Assistant Management Accountant / Finance Admin / Junior FP&A. That's the classic route to Finance Manager > Controller > FD > CFO. There are other work you can do in practice these days. Most practices now provide "outsourcing" service which basically does Management accounts/AP/VATs for very small companies that have not yet established an internal finance team. That was where I started and I highly recommend it if you want the Management Accountant > FD route.
