Answer 1 :
I think you mean your P45. If the employer refuses to give you the form, report him to HMRC.

Should i change my course from accountancy to wildlife conservation?
Should i change my course from accountancy to wildlife conservation?
I am 21 years old doing my chartered accountancy course in India. I always wanted to be close to animals & work with them. I would like to get into wildlife rehabilitation. It seems to be the purpose of my life. But i am one step away from being a Chartered accountant. I would like to go to the US & study biology & wildlife conservation. What should i do? Is it too late for me to switch courses at this point of time?

Answer 1 :
ditch the accountancy, suggest that is no way to live a life stuck behind a desk, get out there and help all the wildlife you can, they need it more than the world needs another accountant.
Answer 2 :
Chase the dream xx you might regret it if you don't good luck xx
Answer 3 :
It's never too late. If you find something you love doing, you'll never work a day in your life, and if your calling is animals, then go for it. I do have to admit though.. that's a weird combination.. animals and numbers.. Good luck to you!
Answer 4 :
Don't see why not, after all they are both based on numbers.
Answer 5 :
21 is still very young! At least in the US it is-- look at me, I'm 25 and only on my second year of college, majoring in Biology. Prior to deciding on biology I took a varity of classes, I didn't want to make any hasty decisions! This is a major part of life I'm deciding on, afterall.... It sounds like you were pressured to think "realistically" about your career decisions, thus you chose accounting. Bleh! Follow your dreams, be happy with your life! Your happiness will create more happiness in other peoples lives and you will do an unmeasurable amount of good when you are following your true path. Good luck!
Answer 6 :
Do the one step to become an account, then do to wildlife conservation thing. At the end of the day then you can maybe help out on that side of the conservation bit. Also if the conservation thing doesnt work out, at least you'll still have the accountancy to fall back on.
Answer 7 :
Accountancy will pay you, where wildlife conservation may not. I'd get your degree, get a job, and work on your dream in your spare time. Wildlife biologists often have a hard time finding work - there's a lot more of them than there are jobs for them. DK
Answer 8 :
YES I THINK SO BECAUSE THIS FEILD IS THE HOTTEST TOPIC NOW
Answer 9 :
Stay with the accounting as your primary. It is better to have options as the door very seldom opens where U want to go.
Answer 10 :
Friend: I have 3 answers to your question: YES - I welcome you to my career field. There are limited jobs, many of them start off as nonpaid, volunteer positions, but will give you valuable experience that will qualify you for greater responsibilities. If you're doing what you love to do, you'll never have "Just A Job", and each day you go to work will be a reward in itself. NO - If you are that close to finishing, you should stay in a career field where you will easily earn the highest income, then you can dedicate your free time, as many people do, to pursue your more enjoyable interests. This way, you'll reach your highest earning potential while enabling you to accomplish more of your leasure, outdoor pastimes, but you won't starve. SOMEWHAT - We need accountants, lawyers, clerks, cartographers, salesperson...(insert any occupation you can name) because it takes a lot of support to protect and manage animals in their natural environments. You have many outdoor, conservation organizations, both professional and nonprofessional who need members. Good Luck, I know you'll do good where ever you go.
Answer 11 :
If you are in your final year of accounting then I would recommend you finish that then go on to do wildlife conservation. You will at least have something to fall back on and accounting is a useful skill. Even conservation projects run on a budget and donations. I did animal conservation science and loved every minute of it and am now a zookeeper. Most people end up doing something totally different to the subject there actually qualified in. Good luck
Answer 12 :
finish your accountant course and after get the biology & wildlife conservation.

Has anyone ever used a company called Taxassist accountants Any good?
Has anyone ever used a company called Taxassist accountants Any good?
I'm thinking of going to this large UK organisation called Taxassist.co.uk. They look good but can anyone who knows about them or has used them let me know if they're any good?

Answer 1 :
Never heard of them so can't comment. But I would always recommend that a business uses a local, friendly Accountant - if you have a problem it is much easier to sort out face to face, and a small company tends to offer a more personal service. It's great to be be on friendly terms with your Accountant - it makes life so much easier, and they will help you with other things as well as tax.
Answer 2 :
I currently use TaxAssist in London Bridge. Although they are a large network, each office is owned by a separate owner so you are dealing with a small local business with the support of a large network. Have been using them for 4 years now. They are local to me and I'm able to pop in to discuss my accounts and sign everything off. I have found them to be reliable and have always been willing to help. Never missed a deadline and they have always provided a friendly service. Chris Director

Anyone know the name of that film where a sporting scout writes a mission statement? The only things I can remember are him waking in the middle of the night, writing it, having it copied and then everyone clapping him. Then he was on a plane and meets the accountant from the company he works for. Im sure that it began with a shot of the world from outer space of something. Cheers.

Answer 1 :
im a true believer of democracy so although i would make my opinion clear, i would agree to go with the majority opinion and not let it effect the quality of my work. or something along those lines
Answer 2 :
"I respect the opinions of others and expect the same for my own. If I truly believe in something, I will stand behind it. However, I am an open-minded person who will listen and consider others' opinions and values before I come to a conclusion." This is a fairly straightforward answer. You want to show compassion for others at the same time you want to show decisiveness and confidence. There's some key words in there - listen, open-minded, respect, and even the word expect. Remain confident but compassionate
Answer 3 :
If it's a democracy then you hold a free and fair vote! You campaign for your viewpoint, but if you lose, you accept it with good grace because that's what a democracy is.

What accounts should I use to post the opening balances in Sage for the following?
What accounts should I use to post the opening balances in Sage for the following?
I come across this practical question when going through my Sage course. Enter the following opening balance journal as provided by the accountant. Nominal description Nominal code Machinery 35000 (dr) Machinery Depreciation 15000(cr) Equipment 20000 (dr) Equipment Depreciation 5000 (cr) Opening stock 2500(dr) Prepayment 500(dr) Bank current a/c 2254.24(dr) Petty Cash 100(dr) PAYE liability 334.36(cr) NI liability 519.88(cr) Loan 25000(cr) Capital account 14500(cr) I am not completely sure how this works so I would appreciate if someone could explain all this to me. I know that when using the journal there should be 2 entries one on the debit side and one on the credit side. What I don't know is what is the correspondig account for each nominal account listed. Thank you in advance. Kind regards, Cristina

Answer 1 :
There is nothing set in stone that determines the number f entries for the debit side or credit side. The rule is that when making a journal entry the total debits minus total credits must equal zero. You could have an entry that has 100 debit items totaling $500 and only one credit item totaling $500, but the result is $500 - $500 = 0. If I'm understanding your question, the accounts listed above are situations. Also, to show an increase in an asset, expense, or withdrawl you have to debit that account, a decrease is a credit. The exception is when you have an asset contra account. For example, accumulated depreciation is increased with a credit and decreased with a debit. This account pairs with either equipment or building to reduce that account over time. For liabilities, equity, and revenues it's reversed. Credits increase those accounts and debits decrease them. I'll do one because there is certain information left out of the question and you can record things a few different ways. For example: Machinery 35000 (dr) If machinery is debited 35000, then the account has increased. Since there has to also be a credit somewhere, you can assume that either cash was used or you are invoiced. When cash is used: debit machinery 35,000 --- credit cash 35,000 When purchased on account is used: debit machinery 35,000 ---credit accounts payable 35,000 Hope this helps.
