Evening all ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Thought Iโ€™d introduce myself and self-proclaim my title as the first auditor on this platform!

Iโ€™m an ACA semi-senior currently studying for my final exams (in what has felt like a lifetime).

For those who have โ€œwalked the walkโ€ already, it would be great to hear your experiences, what got you through that final push?

Likewise, those of you yet to reach the final stages, how are you getting on?

From a person whoโ€™s experienced the highs and lows of the accounting qualifications, from level 2 AAT right through to ACA, it would be great to hear your stories.

ACA Exam results this Thursday, how is everyone feeling for them?

Confident? Nervous? Bit of both?

If you sat a specific exam, check out that ACA group, you can make a topic there by becoming a member of the group and discussing purely that exam!

Iโ€™ve started adding Topics on Greigster.

The idea is simple โ€” instead of everything sitting in one feed, you can jump straight into whatโ€™s relevant to you.

Things like:
โ€ข Exam topics such as FAR in ACA
โ€ข Career advice
โ€ข ACA vs ACCA vs CIMA
โ€ข Practice vs industry

Youโ€™ll find these within the Groups section.

Feel free to have a look around and jump into a topic โ€” or create one if thereโ€™s something missing ๐Ÿ‘

To accountants everywhere, whatโ€™s the one thing you wish someone had told you before starting your qualification?

โ€ข How intense it actually is?
โ€ข That technical skill isnโ€™t everything?
โ€ข The industry vs practice decisions?
โ€ข That burnout is real?

If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self starting out โ€” what would it be?

What do you think is the biggest issue facing the profession over the next 5โ€“10 years?

Is it:
๐Ÿ“‰ AI & automation?
๐Ÿ“š Qualification burnout?
๐Ÿ’ท Salary transparency?
๐Ÿข Firms struggling to retain staff?
๐Ÿ“Š Clients expecting more for less?

Or something else entirely?

Genuinely curious to hear different views โ€” where do you think the profession is heading?

What got you initially invested into accounting? ๐Ÿค”
It's an interesting discussion, there are so many different paths that can take you here, and I'll bet there are a wealth of different routes people took to get here!

For me, I discovered a passion for analysing financial statements whilst studying an unrelated degree in Physics! This led me to switch to a degree in Economics, where I had a few modules in Accounting, and the module in preparing financial statements really solidified that this was the career path for me

It would be interesting to hear the variety others have taken in their paths to get to where we are now!
