I'm working as a audit staff in ey GDS and pursuing ACCA parallely. My work is too hectic that am unable to study and I'm finding it very hard to focus on any one. Sadly I can't quit my job due to financial issues and the work pressure isn't allowing me to study.
Can someone please help me with a good solution out ? :/

Seems like you are in UK or Europe. Mostly states folks here have no idea about the ACCA exams or how easy/hard those are. Good luck 👍
