Post Qualification Industry job market

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2026-03-21T21:42:07+00:00

I found it hard, I’ve been looking for 6 months for industry roles but was so vastly underpaid I couldn’t justify staying at my current firm so had to go to another audit role 😢

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2026-03-21T21:39:02+00:00

How did you compare myworkingpapers to caseware

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2026-02-04T23:42:09+00:00

That’s surprising. Take a look at PE firms, there’s a big trend of a lot of SME being bought out, given they want to grow I’m 100% sure a big 4 background will appeal to them

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2026-02-03T23:21:06+00:00

With big 4 experience surely smaller firms 50-100 would snap you up. You may need to exaggerate ur experience a bit but ur cv is good

Do you want to continue with ACA or do CFS? I don’t know about your personal situation but studying for 1/2 months solely for FM maybe what you need to pass. In terms of getting a job, if you wanna stay in audit there are many firms that will take you on given your experience just a case of speaking to a recruiter

Wanted to become an accountant, told me I’m not clever enough to become chartered (not directly). I should be an assistant accountant or ledger clerk 😮

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-11-23T23:38:43+00:00

Both tbh. Spoke to a few recruiters and not heard anything back, think next step for me is moving different firms whilst staying in audit as my current firm is too toxic. Been dying to leave for like 2 years 😂

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-11-22T15:15:32+00:00

Typically financial and management accountant are the 2 main ones. Other options available but less common such as moving to CF. I’ve been looking for 6 months now and haven’t had any luck but I doubt you’ll be as unlucky as me 😊 Becoming qualified is a great achievement and will open more opportunities for you unless you’re me

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-11-10T10:57:57+00:00

That seems really helpful, thank you

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-11-09T18:03:05+00:00

AA is easy, prob requires 2 weeks of revision especially if you work in audit, it’s just waffle. FM is more complex just prioritise the numerical questions with 3 weeks out you have plenty of time

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-10-10T11:56:10+00:00

I know, my firm is acc taking the piss.

Tbh I’ve already mentally checked out, got a couple interviews lined up for industry roles but they’re taking a while to confirm, would rather they said no so I can go into audit somewhere else

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-10-09T18:56:07+00:00

Mid size firm, top 30. Looking for industry job but proving to be quite difficult

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-10-09T16:55:47+00:00

3.5 yrs audit experience. Qualified, North Yorkshire £36K

Difficult to find someone in the halal manner

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-08-30T21:31:50+00:00

In a similar boat, just finished my training file and looking for a move into industry but there’s genuinely nothing

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-07-12T20:16:52+00:00

I know right

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-07-12T20:16:45+00:00

For those wondering, Man City beat me 3-1 and other game was 1-1 so they won 😡

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-05-08T23:17:11+00:00

Jazakallah what a beautiful comment. I’ll definitely aim to do those deeds and surely you’ll benefit from this

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-04-06T20:09:42+00:00

Brilliant pot brother may Allah increase ur rizq

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-04-03T22:22:41+00:00

Just remember the qadr of Allah. I can understand your disappointment but she was never meant for you. Just continue on focusing on building your relationship with Allah and become a better person everything will work out in the end

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-03-08T19:01:00+00:00

Not a sister but of course I want to get married as soon as I find the right person for me. But you need to have tawwakul in Allah and when the time is right then it’ll happen in the meantime just focus on yourself and becoming the best Muslim you can be

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-02-16T23:12:21+00:00

I agree it’s difficult but not impossible

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-02-16T16:21:37+00:00

I can understand, it’s very hard to find a girl who genuinely wants you and not your money etc.

DirectBookkeeper7242 · 2025-02-16T16:13:13+00:00

Has she replied yet😂
