The ACCA certificate is highly recognized both at home and abroad, and accountants who hold the ACCA certificate have a wide range of employment opportunities in various fields. So, where do ACCA certificate holders go to work?Today, Mr. Rongyue will tell you in detail!
1. Big Four accounting firms
Development Path: Audit Assistant - Senior Audit - Manager - Senior Manager - Partner.
The career path of the Big Four accounting firms is basically the same, from manager to senior manager to partner, with no fixed time limit. Generally speaking, if you can stick to the Big Four for 10-12 years, most people can become partners. The Big Four are ideal for fresh graduates and newcomers to the workplace, because the standardized work here allows people to grow quickly.
2. Well-known foreign-funded consulting company
Development Path: Internship Consultant - Junior Consultant - Consultant - Senior Consultant - Senior Consultant - Senior Partner - Partner.
In addition to auditing, the Big Four accounting firms also provide advisory services. The entry threshold for consulting businesses is usually higher than for auditing. As a result, many people who wish to pursue a career in consulting will choose to do audits for a few years at the Big Four before moving into the consulting field.
3. Domestic accounting firms
Development path: audit assistant - project manager - senior project manager - manager - senior manager - partner.
The development path of domestic accounting firms is similar to that of the Big Four, which also provides good development and treatment opportunities. For those fresh graduates who are unable to enter the Big Four due to their academic background, but also hold an ACCA certificate, domestic law firms are a good choice. Whether they choose to continue their career in the firm or move into the business, the prospects for the future are good.
4. Well-known foreign companies
Development Path: Cashier - Treasurer - Financial Manager - Financial Director - CFO
Foreign-funded enterprises are usually treated better than domestic enterprises, and the job responsibilities are clear, and the personal training of employees is emphasized. Foreign-owned enterprises are a very advantageous choice for those who want to work in the business in the future. However, the entry threshold for foreign-owned enterprises is relatively high, but trainees with an ACCA certificate will have a great competitive advantage.
5. Banks
Development path: Counter Manager - Accounting Supervisor - Accounting Officer - Branch Vice President - Branch President.
Every year, a large number of accountants hope to pass the examination to work in state-owned banks and commercial banks. Holding an ACCA certificate is a big advantage of entering a bank, especially a foreign commercial bank. Foreign commercial banks tend to offer more comprehensive training opportunities than investment banks, and employees are more likely to switch between different departments, so their future development is not necessarily inferior to that of entering a corporate or consulting firm.
Passing the ACCA exam and obtaining the ACCA certificate can bring individuals a broader career development space and more career opportunities. It is not only a recognition of personal professional ability, but also a strong support for personal future development.
