AAT ADVICE / OPINION

[LemonMuffin1]

Hello<BR>I am just looking for some general advice .<BR>I am currently doing an AAT foundation level distance learning course and i have nearly finished it and am wondering what , job wise would be my next step.<BR>I am currently working in a finance department doing all the finace jobs that no one else seems to want to do . The actaual job is more admin than finance based . I am looking to do something more accounts based in the new year to put in to practice what i have done at foundation level as well as what i will be doing at intermediate level . I have allways wanted to work in an accounts practice but am i jumping the gun a bit and is that the type of job i should look at doing , when i am stuyding the technical level of AAT.<BR>So does anyone have any ideas what type of job i should be looking for so i can put in to practice what i have and will be studying ??<BR>Thanks

I started working in the accounts department before I even started my AAT.<BR>My job involved purchase ledger, reconciliations, general banking, expenses, etc<BR><BR>Obviously it depends where you live and what type of company you work for but you shouldnt have a problem getting a job as long as you dont expect too much. But an assistant or trainee role is prob what you will have to do.<BR><BR>Im now doing technician and My job involves analysing monthly transactions, management accounting, budget reports, psa and tax returns etc.......<BR><BR>So although you may have to cope with a low level accounts job for a while, in a couple of years you should have been able to progress onto much better stuff.<BR><BR>
