accountant dont earn alot of money.

an accountant is only considered a basic post. There are many levels above that. like budget control, and other stuff. But being an accountant is considered as the basic entry to this line.

You should get an MBA or CFA after the ACCA.

If mouth skill good, sell property. My friends who switched to selling property, can change 3 cars in 2 years. Me leh, hiyah.....

if you CFO... then should get 20k-30k.. also have to depends on the company you work for...

some of my friends did accountancy at NTU, but none of them continue their trade in related field. my elder brother is a good example. he even his did masters...

now he is in HK, working as head of equities in an investment firm. probably 30k a month (excluding housing).

mouth skill is very important hor.. if got it... everything also can already... e.g. what do u think ur bro is best or really good in?? math? no way right? must be something related to how he present himself or how good he is at networking ..... or something like that.... tio bo?

dangerboi SG

accountant? acca? the trend has died...

those with accounting degrees pursue higher education now.

SGporkz SG

HAHA!

stellazio SG

the pay for accountants is decent, but it comes with the super long hours..

Rooney9 SG

u need many years of experiences and postgrad qual like masters or PHD if u want to climb up to CFO or partner of the big 4 firms. before that, if u can survive the monotonous work and long working hours, sacrifising your personal life to achieve that aim? most acc or auditors switched line to be insurance, start business or go into other lines.
