Good luck to all ACCA takers this week. P5 here.

So, I've been thinking alot and did quite some research but would really love some insight (Accounting vs Fund Accountant)
As a newbie to accounting (completed my graduation and am currently halfway through ACCA), I've worked 3 years in accounting and account operations (AR, AP, Reconciliations, accruals, prepayments etc) and wanted to check out the other side of the coin in Finance.

I recently came across a role of Fund Accountant and wanted to really know what the day to day work looks like

ACCA and CPA qualifications. How useful are they in the line of consulting. I work in the M&A space focusing on FDD. Happy to have a chat to see what qualifications if any are actually useful in our line of work.

Hi Tax Bowlers,
I'm an experienced associate (2yrs) in a Big 4 Transfer Pricing division. I have reached a point in my career where I am considering taking up a professional certification. Several colleagues recommended taking up either ACCA or CFA, however, I see little connection between these certifications and the work that I am currently doing, and what I plan to do in the future. What would you guys suggest? Would it be detrimental to my career if I did not take up any certifications?

I am looking to get into consulting firms in the Netherlands preferably in M&A space.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a recruiter or recruitment firm who could help me?
I have close to 3 years of experience in Financial due diligence and valuation. I am also a newly qualified ACCA accountant.

Hi All
I got promoted to Audit Senior at EY GDS in January 2022 during mid year promotions.
Most probably I will be progressed to Senior 2 in October.
My current CTC is 7LPA. I am non qualified (Don't have CA/CPA/ACCA degree as of now)
Any idea about the probable hikes in coming Sept/Oct? How much can I expect?

What are some good exit opportunities from restructuring? Is it possible to get into M&A etc once qualified ACCA?

I have a question would love a honest answer I am ACCA student and went for a job interview. The person who was conducting interview found out I am ACCA and he was a ICAI member. Throughout the interview i felt he was looking down on me. I recently talked about this with a friend and he said generally ICAI and ICAP accounting members dont give ACCA students and important. Is this true?

Working as an audit staff in big 4 shared service centre. It's been 2 years. I really don't like what I do there, also it seems I won't like what I'll be doing there even after becoming senior. Thinking of leaving and joining industry once ACCA qualified. (One more paper left). But people around me discourage that growth potential and earnings in industry are way less compared to public accounting. I know that too but I still want to leave.
I'd like to stick to core accounting.

Thoughts pls

Does anyone have any advice for ACCA exams? I’m taking FM on Friday and it’s my first exam! Feel like I can’t remember anything🥵

New to Deloitte. Can a project not let you leave? Colleague has been trying to roll off and leadership won’t let him leave even though he has expressed his desire to leave. I fear that this project might do the same for me even though I plan to stay for at least a year.
