im gonna be started yr3 AAT in sept, and it does involve some business studies work. Accounting is not just all about figures as a lot of people on my course found out. For this year (equivalent of 1st year uni) u need to do a business project of a least 4000 words. There is also alot of analysis involved
Answer 3 :
Accountant is a general term that people can use for many types of financial jobs. The usual career for accountants is to go to university and do an accounting degree. Then after university, start working full-time and continue studying part time for a professional qualification (CPA, ACA, CIMA, ACCA). So about 3 years full-time then 3-years part time. There is a very wide range of accountant jobs and all pay well and are interesting. Accounting is a job that is very transferrable if you wanted to work in other countries.
