ICAEW Chartered Accountants are recognised globally as leaders in accountancy, finance and business. In fact, our 145,000 members work in more than 155 countries. If you’re an AAT student looking to take your next step, consider becoming an ICAEW Chartered Accountant. Our globally recognised chartered accountancy qualification, the ACA, builds on the skills you gain during the AAT and allows you to fast track to chartered status in as little as two years.* Read on to find out how Thomas achieved his ambitions with ICAEW.
The AAT–ACA route really can give you a great start to your career. I was attracted to the worldwide recognition of the ACA qualification and the opportunities it could offer.
Soon after qualifying as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant I secured a secondment to Australia which, alongside completing the ACA, has been the highlight of my career. I am now Technical Accountant at SIMSL. The job is continually challenging as there are always new requirements which
require you to think hard, challenge yourself and draw on your accounting experience. The skills I gained from the AAT and ACA qualifications helped me apply the knowledge I learned during my training to my job. It’s given me a great start and continues to help me through my career.
