1. Q: Why Accountancy?
A: Whether you have just started planning your working life and deciding which career path to follow, or have been working for a while and want to change direction, then why not consider accountancy as a career?
All organisations, large or small, all over the world, in each and every employment sector and in every kind of business, need someone that can understand and manage the finances. So choosing a career as a professional accountant will put you in global demand and provide you will excellent job prospects.
A career in finance will not put you in a box or limit your options, and with the right qualification, you could work in any country – accountancy is one of the few professions that transcends national borders. Finance professionals are in demand in places far afield – from the Bahamas to Cyprus– so once you have obtained the appropriate paperwork, it's less a case of 'where can you go?', and more 'where do you want to go?'
