What are the entry routes to becoming a qualified accountant?
The most common route to becoming a qualified accountant is to apply for a training contract with an accountancy firm. There are several qualifications to choose from – the employer will often determine or advise which one you study for. Public and private sector firms also recruit graduates to work in their finance departments. Some will offer the chance to study for a recognised accountancy qualification, while others run their own training schemes which may offer you the chance to experience different aspects of the business before deciding where to focus your career.
