Summary: Advice for those seeking UK Jobs in the accounting & finance field.

Successful accountants know more than just facts and figures. Strong accounting candidates possess a blend of sharp mathematical skills, analytical prowess, and the ability to work under pressure. British accountancies look for communicative, team-oriented applicants who can use their training to help shape business strategies and build better companies.

A business degree or higher education qualification is preferred for accounts or finance executives, but it is not absolutely necessary. To become a Chartered Accountant, candidates must pass the exams given by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), and have the necessary range of practical work experience.

While in training, the work experience will be varied, but will include accounting, auditing, and taxation. Time spent on each discipline and the focus of the work experience varies among training organizations. Once candidates become qualified, they are entitled to call themselves Chartered Accountants and use the letters ACA or FCA after their names. In the UK, accountant salaries vary according to training and certification. The Accountant is a monthly newsletter that delivers a mixture of new analysis, country surveys and other features.
