What is an ACA qualification?

ACA stands for Associate Chartered Accountant and is a qualification gained through the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, or ICAEW for short. The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales is Europe’s largest professional accountancy body. The ACA course and study programme consists of a training and development scheme which lasts around 3 years and comes in 2 stages, professional and advanced. Employers in the Leeds accountancy and banking marketplace regard the ACA qualification highly and PSR regularly assists ACA graduates in Leeds and other areas in finding the right jobs for them.

In order to reap the rewards of having studied towards your ACA qualification, you need to effectively market yourself to employers and this is where PSR can help ACA graduates.

First of all you need to take stock of where your career currently stands, before going on to consider your long and short term career goals whether it be at your existing employer or with a new one.

If you have been offered a position but you are unsure if it would be the right career move for you, think carefully about the role, what the employer does and provides in its market(s), what size the employer is and whether you feel you would fit into such an organisation and what career prospects this role would give you in the future.

Being seconded or transferred to another department within your existing employer can be a good career move as you will gain more experience and add to your skill set.

The presentation of your CV and your performance at the interview(s) are crucial factors in whether or not you will be offered the position. We would advise all accountancy and banking graduates and candidates in Leeds to read our Candidate Information by clicking here.
