Is it OK to ask my interviewers what to wear?
Is it OK to ask my interviewers what to wear?
Well I have an interview in London in an accounting firm in three weeks for my first serious employment. Do you people think it's OK for me to ask my interviewers what to wear? I ask this because on an another occasion, I was interviewed by an accountant who was wearing jeans and shirt, and I wore a suit. I thought that was an exaggeration on my part! Any advice on what to wear on the day of my interview in the English business environment? I'm French so I have no clue!

Answer 1 :
No. A nice dress shirt, and slacks. That way you aren't under or overdressed.
Answer 2 :
No wear the suite
Answer 3 :
Wear the suit again. Better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. It will make a good impression on the employers.
Answer 4 :
No! Do not ask them, they will be expecting you to wear a nice conservative suit and tie (men) or a very dressy suit or formal business clothes (women) with nice shoes, well shaven (men) and tidy hair. Business formal for interviews, always.
Answer 5 :
well i think you should all ready know wat 2 where if you just going in and interviewer just where something really nice if they want it 4 you 2 where something special they wold of told you
Answer 6 :
wear a suit. you cant go wrong if you wear a suit hun
Answer 7 :
it depends on your job which you applied for.......
Answer 8 :
Don't ask them, you should always wear a suit to an interview. Sometimes offices have "dress down Friday" that may have been why he wasn't wearing one, but as an interviewee you will always be expected to.
Answer 9 :
No, you must not ask such basic questions when you can observe what is the norm for that company by visiting their offices. Wear a suit and tie at all your interviews if they are office based. Manual work is a different kettle of fish.
Answer 10 :
You should be approriately derssed in a suit if you want to be an accountant. in th U.K. Not at all okay to ask your interviewer what to wear.
Answer 11 :
For general interviews, wearing dress shoes, dress pants, collared shirt and a tie is a good way to go. It's not over the top but it's not over dressed. There are exceptions. Anything in the corporate, business, government or high end sectors - I would wear a suit. You're going for an accounting job? Suit would be a must. Don't worry about what the interviewer is wearing. Focus on their questions. Sure I can understand that it may be exaggeration on your part but it speaks a lot. Good luck. I hope you get the job that's suited for you.
Answer 12 :
Joel is correct. Never ask them what you should wear - it is a great way of saying you don't know anything and they could infer that you are not capable of doing the job if you don't even know what to wear. It is best to be dressed to the nines as they say - it shows you care about the company to be dressed in your best - it gives a good impression. It doesn't matter what the interviewer wears - he already has the job - it is you that needs to dress up.
Answer 13 :
Wear the suit. It doesn't matter what the interviewer is wearing. You would never go to an interview in jeans just so that you match. You need to "dress to impress." Don't ask your interviewer. You don't want them to think you don't even understand basic business etiquette.
Answer 14 :
If you really want the job, dress your best, and wear the suit. If you don't dress your best, then the way I would see it, as a hiring manager, that you don't really have an interest in the position.
Answer 15 :
Never ask an interviewer what you should wear! That tells them that you haven't got the sense to figure it out for yourself. Always be smart - it doesn't matter if you are overdressed, but it would matter if you are under dressed!

I have just completed an HNC business management course, what kind of job and salary might I be able to get?
During the course I studied business it + employment law, contract law, hrm, business management theory, accounts and finance, economics and world economics: In all there were 15 units all passed to HNC level. If I wanted to become an accountant or a business consultant what would I need to study in addition to the HND I will be undertaking next year?

Answer 1 :
Are you planning on going to university? Most recruiters want university students. You could look at CIMA and ACCA which are reputable qualifications. The ACCA can be done without a degree and can be done at home. If you are looking to work for one of the big firms ( for eg the big 4 accounting firms ) then you will need a 2.1 in a university degree, in addition to meeting their UCAS points requirements. If I were you I would search the 3 accounting qualifications... ACA ACCA and CIMA. This will give you a clearer idea on what you want to do.

what can a new employer do to check employment through a family business?
the reference given to them was from the family business accountant who is also related. (makes sense to keep money within family if possible) they are treating me like this is unacceptable. what other ways can they check employment history dates etc. I am so worried as I really need the money.

People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Apaprt from not believe you there is nothing they can do. They have to either trust you and accept that even if they checked the reference your family would lie for you, or not give you the job. You should probably get some 'real' references as well.
Answer 2 :
Usually someone you have know for at least 2-5 years who can verify your ability to do the job you are applying for, someone who is able to tell them about stuff like your attendance and efficiency for doing your last job. This should work, maybe a good friend or business professional. Good luck!

What to do with time spent travelling on cv?
What to do with time spent travelling on cv?
Where should recent time (2years+) spent travelling be included in a CV? I have sections on Employment History and Education, but I'm looking for advice on where and how to document my recent time travelling? And should I be talking about skills developed, languages learnt, etc? This is for a job as an accountant
Other - Careers & Employment - 2 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Most employers will expect your 1 page CV to be laid out as a 'time-line', with your most recent job first, working back job by job until you left school Typically the first page has your contact details, current/leaving salary, a summary of your qualifications (including degree results ect), plus details of your last job (about 1/3rd to 1/2 page) including 'date started' and the one before that (1/4 page) with date started, date left ... The second side is a list of previous jobs, each in less and less detail, starting with one paragraph, ending with just dates, name of company, job title and leaving salary. Any 'gaps' in the time-line MUST be explained (otherwise the assumption will be that you were "serving time" :-) ) .. for example, "2004-2006 Sabbatical, working with 3rd world charity" or "sponsored round-the-world sailing trip" (or what-ever). The final thing on the last page is the list of Universities & Schools attended.
Answer 2 :
I just can't believe the advice that some people give out. A CV is a Sales Document - it is actually "selling " You. On that basis some things are important and some are not. Your CV can be up to two pages in length but no longer In the UK we read from left to right - information on the Left side of the page has more impact than information written on the right. Job titles must be written on the left and employment dates on the right If you write dates on the left you run the risk of the reader looking at dates only and depending on how you have spent your employment time could come to the wrong decision about the writer. Time out travelling should be included under HOBBIES/INTERESTS unless the time spent travelling included some form of employment. I teach CV writing and have prepared lessons on the subject. I have also advised employers on what they should be looking for on a CV. I get really fed up with so called "experts" who give out bad advice.

Answer 1 :
hospitality works for me casual job with good money or maybe not your cup of tea shipwright by trade
Answer 2 :
You could try temping with an agency - I did this for a few years, though the pay varies according to the assignment.
Answer 3 :
Prostitution maybe? You get to meet lots of interesting people have have tons of fun sex!
Answer 4 :
Training to become a chartered accountant takes 3 years and is competitive. Be sure you want to do this before you take this road. If you've got the funds to train, there are loads of options. How about plumber, electrician, carpenter - not usual graduate careers, but they can make a small fortune! Or anything in computers is good. Tap in 'graduate careers' in google and explore a bit before you settle on accountancy.
Answer 5 :
You could start your own business. Go to my 360 profile for more info, its against the rules to post here.

Answer 1 :
There are several ways to become an accountant. I became one when I was 30. If you are having good marks and good with your Maths and English , The easy way is open to you. You can do your A/L and enter a good university. If your parents are rich options are unlimited. If not you have to apply through UCAS and If you have good marks you will get a place and a student loan. Once you complete your 1st degree or while you are halfway, you can register with professional institues which gives you qualification and license to practice. But you can become an accountant with out a degree too. There are institutes which govern accountants. Those are ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA. See these links: http://www.careers.icaew.com/ http://www2.accaglobal.com/uk/students/welcome http://www.cimaglobal.com/Study-with-us/CIMA-at-a-glance/ http://www.cipfa.org.uk/students/prospective/ If you have not got money to do a degree or if you are not having very good marks, even then you can become an accountant. But it is hardway. You have to register with AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) https://www.aat.org.uk/services/studentregistration/ Wish you all the best in your selected career..

Bookkeeping - working from home, how much do I request per hour?
Bookkeeping - working from home, how much do I request per hour?
I am not an accountant and mainly do mannual for small buisnesses or sole traders.
Small Business - 10 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
£25 an hour
Answer 2 :
Try 15-20 euros an hour I know someone that charges up to 30 euros an hour working from both home and office.
Answer 3 :
you must charge at least £15 an hour
Answer 4 :
I do the same thing as you do. I suggest you request 15-20 an hour.
Answer 5 :
half of a regular accountant. pull up career builder.com and see what the running rate is.
Answer 6 :
It really depends where in the world/country you are! Same as any small company - you will be attracting local trade and need to be charging in line with other similar businesses in order to be considered. I would have a look in your local paper and those from surrounding areas for similar services & scale your prices accordingly.
Answer 7 :
$10-12/hr. small businesses dont want to pay that much for help.
Answer 8 :
depends on how much work you want to do for them and how much they require to be done. for basic data entry, ie just loading on invoices and process receipts and payments, I would charge between £9-£12 an hour. if yor doing a bit more like reconciling the bank / cash, then maybe up to £15. if you do more, like prepare monthly figures ie monthly profit and loss, then at least £20. if you take it further and provide monthly analysis and your thoughts on how well the business is doing, then anywhere around £30. if you prepare a full year end pack, ready to go to the accountants and also be available for queries from an accountant then some people charge upto £50 an hour. what ever you do, dont under sell yourself as it will make it harder to up the prices when you find yourself over crowded with work or need more money to survive on and dont be afraid to turn away work if the price isnt right.
Answer 9 :
Rates vary according to the area you live. The best way to find out the going rates is to call around to bookkeepers in your area and ask them what they charge. Whatever you do, don't charge what you're currently making per hour as an employed bookkeeper. You can make much more as a self employed bookkeeper and you must take your overhead expenses into consideration (even if you're working out of your home).
Answer 10 :
Hi I do the same as you but I don't charge by the hour. I charge a regular weekly/ monthly fee dependant on the AGREED amount of work to be done - usually works out about £25 - 40 per week. The quicker you complete the work - the higher the hourly rate. Any additional work is charged extra. By having an agreed fee you both know what costs are being incurred.

The quicker you complete the work - the higher the hourly rate. Any additional work is charged extra. By having an agreed fee you both know what costs are being incurred.

Man Utd's accountant trying to pull a fast one?
Man Utd's accountant trying to pull a fast one?
They will be anything to clear their debts! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MTFauI8INY&feature=related They will do anything to try and get out of debt* They took loans out in the name of Man U so they will still be there even if they sell the club.

Answer 1 :
you know what...listen to Fox vvvvv he clearly knows more than the chief exec of the biggest sports brand in the world.
Answer 2 :
Man Utd currently have a £504m bond issue in THEIR name, don't forget. Plus the club has been valued at £1.2bn. That's Stadium, Players, Training Grounds, Retail Stores and Merchandise Production. Every penny that United spend on transfers is not put into repaying the debt, which to anyone with sense is suicidal. At 16.25% on the PIK notes which mature in 2017 and CANNOT be paid off until then (not even small payments) although United can theoretically spend up to £80m every season, they elect not to to repay the other debts for fear that by 2017, when the debt matures and they have to pay, it will have risen to an amount they will be unable to repay and Glazer will sacrifice Man Utd, the ONLY company that makes a profit, to the banks. I fins it amazing that some people still want to gloss over what Glazer has done!

Answer 1 :
No you don't... however on average people with degrees make substantially more than people without them.
Answer 2 :
No! don't be stupid! look at me next week they show me how the deep fat frier works and then I gat another star. in your face college boy!
Answer 3 :
I dont think so. I think you need to love what you do and be really passionate about it!!!
Answer 4 :
Present day world, a basic minimum is a bachelor's degree in any discipline. VR
Answer 5 :
Absolutely not! There is far too much emphasis on degree's these days. Half the people with them can't even write correctly. Imagine - you could get in degree in - say, TV sit-coms and then get a job as a graduate in a management position!!!! How utterly ridiculous is that? Experience is worth infinitely more than a degree. And yes, I have the equivalent of a degree - an HND.
Answer 6 :
Oh im like you......im not going to uni but all my friends are!!! You've just got to do whats best for you, i mean whats your view on the student loans?? There are alot of people though that go to university and then can't get a job because there over qualified and companies can't afford to hire them......the majority of decent paid jobs normally ask for experience!! Just becasue somebody from uni might have a certificate to prove their qualified to do something, doesnt mean they can actually do the job compared to someone who may have already had experience in that field!!! Does any of that make sense???
Answer 7 :
Those individuals in college are probably racking up tons of hours, but no real life experience....you're doing great, don't worry
Answer 8 :
You are currently undertaking a professional qualification which will help you in your career. I think the Government is wrong trying to get 50% of school leavers into university. University just isn't for some people. Just think your friends will have all that debt and you won't! Degrees are only really necessary for certain careers anyway in my opinion. By the way I have two career related degrees. Good luck!
Answer 9 :
in the long run a degree probably doesn't make much difference. However, when it comes to promotions, somebody with a degree would be preferable, because they have shown that they're willing to work at one thing for 3 years without giving up. Also, despite what people say, degrees are hard work-unless you do them in David Beckham or something ridiculous. Also, if you look on job websites, the starting wage for a graduate role is a lot higher than entering as just a normal trainee. So yes, having a degree does have its benefits, and even if if doesn't get you too much further, university is 3 unforgettable years, and i would recommend it to anybody.
Answer 10 :
You don't need to go to Uni and get a Degree to succeed. Just think of the satisfaction you will have when you finish your part time accountant technicians exams, and that you worked full time throught them. That will look more impressive on you CV, than attending a University full time. While doing my last job I completed 2 GCSEs, a NVQ and a CLAIT Course. And I am still wotking full time, and have just enrolled on an Open University Course.
Answer 11 :
I finished uni in 2002. i went to Uni purely to put off having to go to work straight away and having to grow up. I was not surprised when i finished with a degree to not be able to find a job paying lots of money etc etc. I did however learn how to cook, survive on no money and drink too much to name but a few. Some people who i graduated with are successful and do earn lots of money, but most of mates don't, but are starting to get there. I have got a reasonable job, and find i can use both work experience and uni experience now when applying for jobs. I reckon that if you really want to go to uni to study make sure you know what you want to do, and have a goal you want to achieve at the end of it, for example if you want to be an accountant, then study it. But, before you go toddling off to uni to spend loads of money and waste time doing something you might not end up wanting to do i reckon it might be a good idea to spend a year working in the industry just to get a realistic as possible idea of what it will be that you may be doing. Basically doing what you are doing. Studying accountancy part time and working you are doing both of these things and the experience will give you an idea of what you are getting yourself into for the rest of your life, and if you decide this is not the right option for you, you haven't lost too much i.e. a £10,000 student loan, expectation from firends and family and the ability to wake up before 10am. The greatest thing about having friends at uni who are having a great time and enjoying themselves is that you get to go and visit them, take advantage of student discounts, cheap Student Union nights etc then go home! Basically, if you want a career and can see an opening to achieve it without going to uni then do it. Its cheaper and you will get there quicker, which will probably make you richer. Good luck.
Answer 12 :
I too did not go to university, but am now a ACCA finalist. I also have the option to gain a degree based on my previous exam passes to stage two by submitting a dissertation. When I go for job interviews, they are only interested in my ACCA not any education prior to that. Accountancy is an area where exams without experience is not the best route.
Answer 13 :
Yes you are. Experience is important but no one will give you a chance to prove it if you don't have the degree. And these days to have a good success bachelor don't even cut it-you have to go to master. Go back to school and get at get your bachelor. This of it this way- people can rob you from your material possessions but they can never steal your intellect. That is something that will be your property and investment in your future forever.
Answer 14 :
The world is littered with people waving degrees still looking for jobs. Experience is key in any type of business. Don't feel bad, you'll get what you want. Sometimes the head of an office struggled to get where he/she is and will appreciate yours. Good luck.
Answer 15 :
Five years ago my employers had a strict graduate only policy. Today, they will look at hiring people with 3 years relevent experience as well who show determination to succeed. This is due to the amount of applications they were receiving from graduates who couldn't even write a covering letter that wasn't littered with mistakes! A degree doesn't count for nearly as much these days. I think there will soon be a change to the government figure that graduates earn an extra 200k in their lifetime. There are not enough people doing trades these days, such as plumbers and electricians so they are charging extorniate amounts. Which is due rise even more with the demand on infrastructure for the olympic games.
Answer 16 :
Yes, a degree will escalate your career better in the long term. Those with degrees have much better job prospects - most nowadays even go onto doing Masters courses. and of course the great learning experience you have while living away from home to attend university. Its like a rollercoaster - You learn so much during these years. They say , University are the Best Years of your Life! Its so true! My memories are unforgettable. I recommend it to anyone. A degree (in this present world) is now a standard qualification. To enrol onto a good career - you require a good degree. If you want to specialise - then you can do a Masters. I have a degree in Computing. I will be enrolling on a MBA course in Oct. The futures looking bright! ( Im 24 yrs old)

Other - Business & Finance - 5 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
It depends on what payments terms your company has agreed with the other company.It could be 30 days to 90 days
Answer 2 :
There is no normal in these situations. It should say on the invoice how long the company have to pay. A lot of the time it would be thirty days. But there is no guarantee that they will pay in this timeframe. Indeed, if the company is in financial trouble there is no guarantee that they would pay at all. If they have used your services before, you could check how long they took to pay on previous invoices.
Answer 3 :
Typically 3-4 times longer that your terms & conditions (if you state 30 days, expect to wait 90-120).
Answer 4 :
Invoicing can typically be anything from "Payment Upon Receipt" to 120 days. Most invoices are dated 14 days or 30 days. Pull a few invoices from the files to see what the terms were either for that customer or others. Date this invoice the same.
Answer 5 :
It depends on what the payment terms are for that company. A lot of businesses pay on a 30 day term, so you wouldn't get paid for 30 days. Some businesses have a 30 days net term which means 30 days from the end of the month in which you invoice them - so if you invoiced on 26/10/09 you wouldn't get paid until the end of november, but if you invoiced them on 02/10/09 you still wouldn't get paid until the end of november. Some are 60 days or even 90 days. Other companies pay invoices on receipt or within a set period such as 10 days. So the answer is that no-one knows when you will get paid. In future, check payment terms beforehand.

I am on ACCA but had really crap maths grades, accountancy has nothing to do with maths, the only thing they have in common is they both use numbers!
Answer 3 :
Yes u r quallified if u have 50% marks in B.com except languages... that is except english and ur mother tounge paper.... maths is not neccessary .. but u need 50% marks in your main subjects so u r eligible for CA, CS, ICWA, MBA... etc... i AM ALSO A COMMERCE GRADUATE.. DOING MY PG NOW.. I AM FROM KERALA... YOU BETTER CHECK A GOOD WEBSITE TO KNOW THE DETAILS.... A NEW RULE CAME INTO EXSISTENCE U HAVE TO WRITE ENTRANCE EXAM TO DO CA....
Answer 4 :
These are the minimum requirements: Two A2 levels and three GCSE passes including Maths and English (most employers ask for A or B grades) or their equivalents. Equivalent grades at International Baccalaureate level or equivalent school leaving certificate qualifcations are also welcomed. A total UCAS tariff score of 220 or above covering both AS and A2 levels (Be aware that many employers will expect you to have a UCAS tariff score of 280 or above, or equivalent. Many employers will not include General Studies in the tariff calculation) A 2:1 or 1st or its equivalent in your first degree in any subject if you choose to go to university (some organisations will accept a 2:2) Employers expect students to possess a proven academic record, and most will expect you to have an established or nationally-accredited university or college qualification which is comparable to a UK degree. So, if that is equivalent to a UK degree it will be fine, even if it doesn't include maths

Many employers will not include General Studies in the tariff calculation) A 2:1 or 1st or its equivalent in your first degree in any subject if you choose to go to university (some organisations will accept a 2:2) Employers expect students to possess a proven academic record, and most will expect you to have an established or nationally-accredited university or college qualification which is comparable to a UK degree. So, if that is equivalent to a UK degree it will be fine, even if it doesn't include maths

Answer 1 :
I think Accountant is better. Job opportunities include public accounting, government, private industry and forensic accounting. There are also opportunities in tax preparation, cost management and even jobs with the FBI. Accounting opportunities are not limited to the ones named above.
Answer 2 :
Which makes more money? Accountants (Modal salary £35k versus £30k) http://www.salarytrack.co.uk/salary.php?keywords=accountant&location=&job-title=on&submit=Search+Salaries Which is harder to make more money? Interesting question, there is less chance of zapping your brains out as an accountant. Both require a lot of knowledge. Accountancy probably requires longer hours, but that will depend on where you work. Which one is harder to get a job? Accountant Which one company wise willl make more? That will depend a lot on how well you manage your business, the best electrician companies make more than the worst accountancy firms. But I imagine as a sole trader you could make more as an electrician. Conclusion: You can make a good living as either. Both require a commitment to study. Both have potential for you to open your own business. I would suggest that you concentrate more on the intrinsic qualities of the two occupations to find which would be a better fit for you. Do you want your study to be practical or theoretical? Do you want to work with your hands? In an office?
Answer 3 :
Speaking as a builder turned marketing guru I can tell you that the most important consideration here is lifestyle choice. Either profession can earn you pots of money if you have the necessary. Goo luck...

acca-chartered accountant or certified accountant?
acca-chartered accountant or certified accountant?
i have a degree in accounting and wish to go on to do acca, but i am confused. after completing both levels of the acca exams, what status do you get, certifed accountant, or chartered?can someone pls explain this to me? i originally was under the impression that going through the program would make you a charted accoutnant, but i was told by someone that to become a charted accountant, further exams are need to be sat. and then again every year is that correct?:s
Higher Education (University +) - 2 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
after completing ACCA + 3 years relevant working experience, you will bear the title "Chartered Certified Accountant". Regarding chartered accontants, that depends on the country ... Outside UK and EU, you probably need to sit for some examiniations (but not the whole programme) to become the chartered accountant of that country. If the title 'CA' is a must for you, then go for the Association Of Chartered Accountant within you country.
Answer 2 :
In 1997 the Privy Council which governs all professional bodies in the UK and Commonwealth gave members of the CACA the right to prefix their titles with the word chartered. Before this they were known as certified accountants. The change of status occurred because the Privy Council gave the CACA a royal charter and therefore its members were now fully entitled to call themselves chartered accountants in much the same way that the ICAEW and ICAS had been allowed to do for many years due to their established chartered status. This new found chartered status did not just affect the CACA but also affected members of CIMA and CIPFA who were also now allowed to refer to themselves as chartered accountants. To reflect this new status the CACA changed its name to the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and chose to allow its members to refer to themselves as Chartered Certified Accountants in order to differentiate themselves from other chartered accountants. However, the Privy Council directive of 25 August 1996 makes it clear that all members of the CCAB bodies are equally entitled to refer to themselves as chartered accountants if they so wish. If you become a member of one of the CCAB bodies and for one reason or another you wish to become a member of one of the other chartered accountancy bodies then it will mean that you will have to take additional exams. For example, if you are a member of the ICAEW and you wish to also become a member of the ACCA, perhaps to allow yourself to work in some jurisdictions where the ICAEW is not recognised, then you will need to take the final level exams of the ACCA in order to become a member of this body. The reverse will also apply. However, all of the chartered accountancy bodies are deemed to be of equal standard, ie. masters degree level, and from a scrutiny of recruitment adverts in business journals you can see clearly for yourself that the remuneration which is paid to members of all bodies is of the same standard which recognises this equality of status. As for what your friend has told you, I can only assume that he/she is getting confused with the Association of Accounting Technician (AAT) exams which are of a much lower level that those of the chartered accountancy exams which are promoted by the CCAB bodies. Once qualified as a chartered accountant you will not need to take exams every year but you will need to undertake Continuing Professional Education (CPE) which could take the form of attending courses or reading magazines in order to ensure that your technical knowledge is kept up to date. This is because accountancy and taxation legislation changes frequently and it is very important that you keep abreast of developments. http://www.frc.org.uk/images/uploaded/documents/Final%20printers%20file%20key%20facts%20and%20trends%20Nov%2006.pdf

Are most accountants very cold and boring?
Are most accountants very cold and boring?
I know this is a generalisation and of course not all accountants are like this but I'm interested in opinions.
Other - Advertising & Marketing - 4 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
Yes
Answer 2 :
NO.
Answer 3 :
Cold, no. That makes an assumption about personality that is more variant in accountants. They are not all introverts, anti-social, or disinterested in human emotion. Many are the opposite -- extroverts, party animals, and emotional. Boring, perhaps. On the other hand, the kind of mind that leads someone to be an accountant, especially a good accountant, is likely to strike large groups of people with opposite interests as "boring." But, might I add as someone on the finance/accountant/numbers side of the street, I have met more than my fair share of artists who were cold & ridiculous and salesmen who were warm & boring.
Answer 4 :
Hah! I expect a large percentage are because vanilla accountancy is VERY BORING. But not all accountants do plain accounting. My mate just got back from Cannes film fesitival (film finance), drives a Nissan 370Z etc. etc.

Answer 1 :
If you're not discharged, it goes to your trustee.
Answer 2 :
Depends COMPLETELY on the terms of the bankruptcy.
Answer 3 :
You can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 they might be able to help. For the future you can try FileLate.com I use this online service to do my 07 & 08 taxes and I can always go back to them for any questions, Good Luck :-)
Answer 4 :
Have you been discharged from bankruptcy yet? If not, it will go to the Official Receiver. It also depends on the tax year for which the repayment is due. Some tax years in relation to the bankruptcy are preferential debts, and if an overpayment relates to certain times it is regarded as a late asset in the bankruptcy, even though a distribution has been made to creditors.
Answer 5 :
You say Accountant in Bankruptcy Are you in Scotland? You should get some Scottish advice. Scottish bankruptcy was for 3 years till recently so you should be discharged now. In which case its none of the A I B's business. Only if you are undischarged will a Trustee take an interest in windfalls.

If its her ideal dream job then yes, she should follow her gut instinct and go for it. If she's only doing it for the money she'll get as an accountant, then no, its not worth it
Answer 2 :
I think she can make her own decisions at her age and if she does well it will pay off dont you think?
Answer 3 :
As that other postee mentioned, if she really enjoys math and percentages as well as analytical thinking, then yes, it sounds like a good career move. She can always take a couple accounting courses and see if that is a good fit. I believe that the person is supposed to obtain at least a bachelor's degree. For more career info: www.bls.gov/oco and search 'accountant'. For US colleges: www.utexas.edu/world/univ
Answer 4 :
if thats what she really wants to do then let her do it. she may have probs finding a job when she is qualified because of her age. then again she may be lucky. if its her dream she has to go for it. she still would have her old job to fall back on if shes keeping that going
Answer 5 :
Ageism is question you should ask yourself?. Your mum may have wanted to do this accountancy for years but because certain issues were in the way ! & being a good Mother is her number one priority only now she feels that her priority has matured & is looking after themselves,that now she can do something she would really like to do.It will be hard work,working & studying but with the full support of those who love her,her confidence will bloom.As for career,with the support she will have from her teachers fellow students & you guys,who knows.Maybe her current employers will take her on.
Answer 6 :
If she thinks she is able to build a career she should be applying to the major accountancy firms who would pay for her to get qualified and put her on a graduate (or similar) scheme. If she is having to pay for it herself then I think she already knows the answer to your question.

I used to teach and although I quit that job, I'd rather be a teacher than an accountant. Because I find numbers more annoying than people.

An accountant definitely. They make more money and they don't have to deal with little kids.
Answer 4 :
i couldnt be a teacher, the kids would drive me insane!!!
Answer 5 :
Teacher
Answer 6 :
My husband is an Accountant. He makes alot of money and when it's time to go home, he leaves it at work. Teachers even the best ones I know, eventually get burned out before their retirement.
Answer 7 :
Ohh a teacher for sure, you give someone the gift of knowledge, there's far too much thinking in accountacy for me :( Good Luck with your career choice :D

Accountant ... dealing with all this by-passing money makes u feel better of urself ... Teachers need huge sum of patience which I -most likely- Consumed all on my beloved !

I would rather be a teacher, you make a difference to a lot of childrens lives. Good luck with whatever you decide xx
Answer 13 :
accountant I'm taking accounting at school i like that job
Answer 14 :
an accountant, could never be a teacher, you have to have certain qualities to be a good teacher, such as endless patience, a passion for a subject and tolerant
Answer 15 :
Teacher, because I couldn't stand working with numbers all day long. Teachers impact (albeit positively or negatively)someone else's life every single day. I think there is also more creativity involved in being a teacher. A teacher is never bored doing his or her job and is not stuck to a desk all day.
Answer 16 :
If I really had to choose, I'll be a teacher, why? being an accountant, you need to deal with lousy clients but you can't scold them but being a teacher, you just need to deal with youngsters but the main reason why I want to be a teacher is, I love kids & I enjoy teaching !!!
Answer 17 :
Teacher.. i think its harder to get into but you can do so many courses compared to accountants
Answer 18 :
of coz teacher.... good salary + lots of holidays sometimes students are very cute & nice to chat with...

teacher,cause it is said that accountant is rather a boring job,you have to deal with data all day long.teaching is quite different,it's a sublime occupation.by enlightening others,you may benefit a great deal yourself.Besides,teaching is a relatively stable career.you may get quick promotion if your professional quality is high.teachers are not likely to be fired.
Answer 21 :
Neither, though if I had to choose I'd rather be an accountant.
Answer 22 :
What age would you teach if you were a teacher. Two of my best friends are teachers but they have decided that they have had enough because of the amount of paper work they have to do. Both say they love teaching the children, but all the planning and the paperwork they have to do makes it tough and they don't like it as much as they used to. However I have some friends that are accountants and they love their jobs and they are about to start up their own businesses. So I'd say become an accountant
Answer 23 :

Answer 24 :
Neither really, but being asked on your behalf, I would choose teacher. I work for accountants, and I feel accounting is very boring. I feel a teacher would be more life fulfilling of a career and a bit more fun and challenging. :) Good Luck and i wish you the best.
Answer 25 :
That would have to be totally up to you and your likes/dislikes. I don't feel I'm good at being in charge and explaining things, and not good with people, so being a teacher wouldn't make sense for me. I'm better with paperwork and numbers, so the accountant job would be more practical for me. You have to list the pros and cons of each job (your opinions and desires included) and compare the two.

Can some one please let me know or give me a rough idea of the processing times? If I already have a job offer, do they process it quicker than if I don't have one?

Answer 1 :
Once you know that you qualify for Canada Immigration, then put in your application. Acc to the new rule the processing time takes between 6-12 months. Yes if you already have a job offer than it is a bit quicker but again it all depends on the case officer....I recommend if you qualify directly for Permanent Residence then just go ahead and apply it
Answer 2 :
it can take a year or more if your employer will sponsor you it may be quicker if you qualify to immigrate to canada that is

What subjects are good for accounting?
What subjects are good for accounting?
In the near future i'm meant to be choosing my A level subjects, i've chosen not to do IB already. Although i don't know what job i want i was thinking of being an accountant/financial adviser for big firms. So basically I don't really know what subjects to do. I like Biology and French the most so i'll probably be doing those but i need to choose 2 more.

Answer 1 :
i would pic math (obviously) erm business studies try statistics hope this helps
Answer 2 :
Business, Economics, Maths? If you got good grades in them you could do almost anything! kinda ..... :) Good Luck!
Answer 3 :
Maths.
Answer 4 :
Take economics (micor/macro), not the general high school courses. Statistics, and maybe a Computer/Business course to familiarize yourself with excel.
Answer 5 :
Hi, I study accounting at university and I would say that you need to know Excel, so something that does Excel is good and this will offer you transferrable skills. Statistics is another subject which is good, however my experience of statistics as a module is that the central premise that 'noone knows anything' but you will have to work hard. Once again if you have a knowledge of Excel you will be fine. Maths obviously but critical analysis is good as you often have to be able to analyse the balance sheet looking for a story (ie. why is a company making a profit/loss and how can you increase/decrease it). A business subject if you can is good. What you could do is look at a prospectus and then consider your options. good luck and I love accounting it really is good fun

How do i find out the details of my recently deceased partners estate?
How do i find out the details of my recently deceased partners estate?
E,g finding out wether or not who his accountant was etc...
Law & Ethics - 3 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
If you are not listed as his beneficiary either in a will or in legal documentation, you have no right to any information whatsoever. You are at the mercy of his legal antecedants, ie. any children he had or lawful living relatives. This is why legal wills are so important.
Answer 2 :
If your partner didn't give you any of this information I think it's apparent that he or she was not intending to give you anything when he or she died.
Answer 3 :
If his estate was probated, all the probate records are public documents. That's as much information as you are entitled to unless he owed you money. If you have a claim against the estate, you need to file a pleading with the Probate Court stating you have a claim against the estate. Put the case name and number on the pleading and state the basis of your claim. You can then submit questions ("Interrogatories") to the administrator/executor/ personal representative (same office, states use different names) and get any information you want.

What are the wages like in Gibraltar?
What are the wages like in Gibraltar?
I am considering moving to Gibraltar. I work as an Assistant Accountant. I just wanted to know what sort of money I could earn in Gibraltar. I can get around ₤20 per hour temping in London. I realize the wages will be less in Gibraltar but not sure by how much. Any ideas?

Answer 2 :
Doubt you would get a job.If you did property is expensive.We (British)cannot simply move to and work in Gib.They are strict unless your Moroccan(Lots of them lying around)on who they let in.Way around is to live in La Linea(Spanish)on the border. Called the front line.Example of the feelings you'd be facing.
Answer 3 :
solid as a rock
Answer 4 :
Gibraltar is wierd!!
Answer 5 :
Difficult to say how much you could earn, there are a lot of Accountancy firms in Gibraltar, the minimum wage is less than in the UK its around £4.50, but you would get that sort of rate if you worked in a Bar, not in a firm of Accountants, those type of wages are similar to the UK, however Temping seems to be non-existent in Gib. Any British person has the right to live in Gibraltar but you do need to apply for a residency permit and to do that you need an address in Gibraltar. Property is very expensive, more like London prices so most people opt to live in La Linea just over the border in Spain and travel across the border to work every day. This is what I do, if you need any more info let me know.

How easy is it to form a company directly with company house?
How easy is it to form a company directly with company house?
To form a private limited company Company house want the following listed below. But how easy are they to complete? The two forms seem straightforward but Articles of Association involves altering tables as well as signed by a Notary public? 1. A memorandum of association 2. Articles of association ( except where Table A is adopted without modification ) 3. Form 10 4. Form 12 Would i be better of getting the accountant/solicitors to form a company? thx

Answer 1 :
Personally I had an accountant do it. Cost all of £100 7 years go.
Answer 2 :
You can ask someone at Companies House if you are having trouble with the forms.
Answer 3 :
Some solicitors have ready made dummy companies that you can buy for about £150 once you have that you can then get the name changed etc.
Answer 4 :
Unless you require incredibly complicated Mem & Arts, do not go near Solicitors or Accountants. Start at Companies House website to check that your preferred company name has not been taken and then go directly to a company formation agent who will form the company and prepare the forms. It if not practical to do it yourself due to printing of the Mem & Arts and arranging the seal. I use Chettleburghs, who although not the cheapest, are reliable and efficient. http://www.chettleburghs.co.uk/
Answer 5 :
As all of the above but buying a ready made company of the shelf is the cheapest way , you can always use the pre -formed ltd company that you buy as the holding company, then your chosen name trading as EG xxxx( the name of the of the shelf company) ltd trading as xyz ( your choice of name for your company) hope this has been of some help

Yes it does. It might be easier to get a job as an accountant first. Put a couple of years in, do taxes and audits. Get your CPA too. At that point you will have contacts, and you will be ready to make a big jump.

What is the most common type of family sized vehicle with blacked out windows in the uk? I want to blend in!?
What is the most common type of family sized vehicle with blacked out windows in the uk? I want to blend in!?
I'm going to be setting up as a private investigator and need a 'normal' vehicle which preferabley can double as a family vehicle if necessary. Size really does not matter, as long as its medium sized upwards and looks normal with blacked out windows. I've been thinking about land rovers, but don't want to pay the 4x4 tax! (Sorry, daughter of a scottish accountant!). Then I thought about vans, but not sure yet. Any suggestions? Thanks for those answers, to answer the question about image, no i really don't care, its just I'd like to be able to get out of the car and leave a camera taping for a minute or so (like to go into a shop etc), and be able to leave the equipment in the car without drug addicts breaking into it and stealing it! Thats why i wanted a car that looks normal blacked out!

What Does Merger Mean In Terms Of Accountancy?
What Does Merger Mean In Terms Of Accountancy?
When an accountant does a merger, does it mean he or she would do long hours?
Corporations - 1 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
A merger is a combination of two or more independent business corporations into a single enterprise, usually involving the absorption of one or more firms by a dominant firm. The dominant firm may purchase the other firm's assets with cash or securities, purchase the other firm's stock, or issue its own stock to the other firm's stockholders in exchange for their shares in the acquired firm (thus acquiring the other company's assets and liabilities). In horizontal mergers, both firms produce the same commodity or service for the same market. In vertical mergers, a firm acquires either a supplier or a customer. If the merged business is not related to that of the acquiring firm, the new corporation is called a conglomerate. The reasons for mergers are various: the acquiring firm may seek to eliminate a competitor, to increase its efficiency, to diversify its products, services, and markets, or to reduce its taxes. So if a company was in the process of being merged with another, I would imagine the accountant would need to put in long hours because of tight deadlines. But the hours should revert to normal once the merger is completed, assuming he gets to keep his job. When 2 companies merge, there would then be 2 accountants, and usually 1 leaves.
